...Since last year the Gold Coast has had 1) a written constitution, 2) a Legislative Assembly of 75 elected Negroes and nine whites, 3) a Negro Prime Minister, the first in any British colony, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. Dr. Nkrumah disturbs some people in Downing Street, since he is a Marxian-Socialist who got his schooling at Pennsylvania's all-Negro Lincoln University and had to be let out of a British jail when his fellow Negroes elected him. Nevertheless, last week the British felt that their experiment in native self-government looked promising enough for it to plan spending...
...fellow citizens who are being hit where it hurts them most. For years they approved a dishonest tax, and they deserve all they get. Unscrupulous politicians have always understood that they could depend upon the votes of those who are moved by "envy, malice and all uncharitableness."

Ironically enough, Mr. Flynn uses the Marxian devil theory of history to make his point. Because the Communists won out in China he assumes that someone in Washington must be guilty of conspiracy and treason. Franklin D.

No sooner had Rugg appeared than-two Ohio newspapers sounded the alarm. "Marxian doctrinaire," cried the Ohio State Journal. The Columbus Dispatch echoed: "A defiant and unabashed radical." The newspapers needled Ohio Governor Frank Lausche into requesting a trustee investigation of the charges, and in short order the trustees issued their edict...
...view of your explicit mention of my name in reporting the recent Evanston meeting of the Methodist Federation for Social Action [TIME, Sept. 17], kindly permit me [to say that] on my motion the Federation unanimously adopted a statement . . . specifying five irreconcilable differences between "Christianity and the atheistic Marxian Communism of our day." . . . [Such an action] leaves no basis for the suggestion implicit in your report that the real aim of the Federation is to "promote Karl Marx." The Federation's only objective is to promote Jesus Christ.
