New Type Of War Discussed BY CO CANADIAN NATIONAL THE ONLY RAILWAY SERVING ALL TEN PROVINCES IT WILL WIT Seven contingents of Veterans a two World .Wars, numbering 350 attended a drumhead service held in Goderich last Sunday in connection with that town's old home week celebration. The Rev. 13. g. Farr, padre of Branch 109, Canadian Legion, Godericb, was in charge of the service. Group Captain E...A, D. Hutton, CD, Commanding Officer, RCAF Station, Clinton, was the guest speaker, He spoke on the ideo- logical war now being waged. The following is his address in full: "Friends, as I look about me today, I see among., you ex-ser- vicemen, veterans of both world wars intermixed. You legion- naires know what fighting is and you also know of the endless pain and misery which always accompanies armed conflict. To- day, I want to talk about war— but not the shooting war as fought in the past or as may be fought in the future. The ideological war which is now in progress is a new type of war in which the weapons and the tactics employed are 'completely different from those we have experienced bet fore. The weapons are, now words and ideas and the battlefields are spread all over the World , where- ever g clash of political, economic or social aspirations occurs. This struggle is as deadly as any battle the world has ever seen and it is as real as life itself. Re-armament General "The world today is in a very unsettled state. Intensified' prob- lems of production and distribu- tion of food and materials have upset the economies of many na- tions and affected the economics of all. Political unrest an& social upheaval among nations has lead to a redistribution of world pow- er. Many countries are feverish- ly re-arming to meet the ever- present threat of war and these countries are now grouping into two armeoVeamps, one under the leadership of the Union of'Soviet Socialist Republics and the other a group of democratic nations looking to the English speaking countries for 'guidance and aid. Western Civilization Decadent "It is a common trend arriong us these days to blame commun- ism for all the troubles and ills of the free western world. How- ever, the real cause goes Much deeper, a fact which we often' conveniently ignore. Remember that communism is an outgrowth of our present western civiliza- tion. Like a boil, it is an evi- dence of poison within our sys- tem of living, evidence of moral compromise and decay within ' ourselves as individuals. Com- , munisin feeds on this poison and to rid ourselves of this menace, we must deal first of all with that moral compromise and decay. 1 ., "The foundation of the com- munist philosophy is the under- lying idea that the world must and will be changed. To carry out this philosophy, the com- munists will use every means at their disposal, economic, political, I military or psychological. When one force fails to accomplish the desired result, then another force is brought to bear and so the struggle goes on. While not deny- ing the need for changes in our present system, yet we of the free democracies dispute both the means of changing them and the nature of these changes. Might and Ideology "We of the 'western world have two major forces to combat—Rus- sian military might and the corn- Mtn-list ideology which that might was created tq siletain. After two world Wars, wherein in both cases we won the war but lost the peace, it is • clearly evident that to win on the military front is not enough. The struggle for men's, hearts and minds goes on and itis only by winning the war of beliefs that we secure victory on every ether front and so en- sure a lasting peace, We must remember that an ideology can only be overcome and conquered by a superior ideology, Communism Threatens Family "The communists have an ideology-1-a vital and dynamic doctrine which amounts to a re- legion, a religion without God, Within the confining boundaries of their creed, the family has ceased to exist as the source of moral guidance to the Individual. Instead, we see a culture based entirely upon materialistic aims. A culture which threatens our way of life, not because of its strength within, but because of our own obvious weaknesses, Christian Teachings "Do we have or can we• de- velop a superior ideology with which to combat and' destroy the .creeping paralysis of communism? I have never doubted, nor do I doubt today, that we have the elements upon. which such an ideology can , be foulided. That we subscribe to the Golden Rule is illustrated by such proposi- tions as the Marshall Plan, the Mutual Aid Pact, and the Colom- bo plan. These, propositions, ad- vanced by the western powerb for the economic and social better- ment of less-favoured parts of the -world, indicate a common and united faith in our own way of life: In addition, there exists In the western world today our in- trinsic belief in the Christian teachings with their' moral and spiritual values. On these fund- amental elements our entire ideology, our very existence, de- pends. "Until now most of us have not gone beyond the lip service stage -in acknoWledgement of these ideals. We have talked about them a good deal, but we have not practiced them, or liv- ed according to them, with any intensity. Material thoughts have become uppermost in our minds and these thoughts have taken precedence over our moral and spiritual obligations, As a result, a new and enervating feeling has infiltrated into our seciety. If others choose to reject ,our ideas and thereby threaten our whole way of life by force, then we also can, resort to force to sup- press and destroy them, This is a comfortable and complacent feel- ing, but the fallacy of it lies in the fact that it is the same view that,has already swept us •into two orld wars and now threat- ens to involve us in another, with even more terrible consequences. Must Win Peace - "Will be never lea4m that to win the war is not enough? We must also win the peace and the only way to' accomplish this is to demonstrate beyond any doubt that our way of life, our ideology, is the only means by which man can progress in the attainment of his ultimate goal. "Can we substantiate this fact by pointing to our present, every- day life as an example? I think not! No one can deny that here in North America, and in other parts of the world where a high standard of living is enjoyed, people have developed an in- creasingly materialistic outlook on life, almoet in proportion to their good fortune. This outlook has flourished at the expense of many of the principles held by our fathers, and their fathers be- fore them. Canada, as a democ- racy, arid a free nation, was made possible by the application of these principles and yet now we propose to replace them with a new ideal—material gain. Are Our Moral Values Worthy? "Our country is now threaten- ed to a greater degree than ever before. Day by day, powerful forces are undermining the foundations on which our way of life is based. Social and economic pressures, through their outward political and military manifesta- tions, are compelling us to re- view our position. Now is the time for us to reconsider our moral and spiritual values and to determine whether or not they are worthy of survival. This is the battle with which we are faced and it must be fought and won long before we can expect to reap the benefits of a ieacet won by a "hot" war. This is. the.' so-called ideological war and it narrows down to a conflict bee ' tweeri communism, which seeks to overthrow the present system, and democracy which is based on. the propotition that man must always go forward, that he must always strive to improve him- self, if he is to attain the ideal goal, No Escape "No one can escape this ideo- logical war. ;t is a war fought wherever the opponents choose to fight and with whatever weapons the opponents choose to use, Civilians and servicemen alike, men, women and children are all, involved. We have always thought of war in terms of other lands and distant battlefields. In the past, this has been acceptable bee cause of our geographical loca- tion. However, this concept of war must now be abandoned, This new type of war will be fought in, our own back yard as well as in, Korea, in Europe, in the Middle cast and all over the world. It is total war. This is the war to which General Worthington re- ferred.' in his recent address at Camp B.orden; the war that IS, with us now. Christianity vs. Communism "Internationally, communism is our enemy but at .,home, our worst enemy is not dammunistio aggression but our own complac- ent and materialistic outlook on, life, It is now reduced to a, struggle for survival; a struggle between the Christian and demo- cratic concept of man as a creat- ure of God and the communistic and materialistic idea of man. without God, These ideas can- not c0-exist and the struggle will continue until one or the other triumphs. • Our Last Chance " 1-4 .1, "Therefore, it is up to us to refresh our faith and trust in, God and the church. Let us face the future with a mutual trust and an interdependence which is, after all, the strongest weapon we have to uphold our way of life and to combat the evil forces which threaten to envelop and crush us. This is our last chancel It is for us to choose whether Or not we face up to the issue at hand." After addressing the Legion members, Group Captain Hutton, took the salute for the March. Past.
