WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
• • By Joseph Lister Itutied°ge
• The, president of a small Ameri-
can' college, Dr, George- S. Benson
of Harding L'nh;ers.•ity, was posed•
a' question by one of his students.
"IE ,Sou 'were. a Communist,'." the
%tudent asked,. "and wanted to de -
troy; this. country, the freedom. it
represents and the - prosperity- it
enjoys, * *fiat would' you do?" -
D•r...-Benison said ..that he would `Y
like to consider • and that at the
next.:: e.cture he would try _to gi e
his answer. •
, He took the .question.. home, • and
set himself to consider it. He re=
-cagirtze-d-tir tiidenrrthailenge ant
realized that bis answer, had to be
conclusive and honest. He had to
destroy his country using the best,
,:weapon he could find. He , had to
concentrate, he argued, • on what-
ever activities-zdould undermine
public confidence, 'create, dissension
-.and,- undermine` ex.istin_ conditions.
-They hail to be actions that, pu hed
to their logical conclusions,' could
destroy any democracy. In the
end they simmered clown to three'
main 'policies. He --noted them. in
'order, as 'he later presented them_
to his student's. •
'1.I„„would foment Strikes and
' create just as much industrial
confusion and - uncertainty • as
possible. •
_
2. would scatter biased propa-
• Randa,. misrepresenting bush
nessmen' and destroying faith
in • b,,sin.ess, I- would try to
prove private enterprise a
failure: • -
3. 1 • would boost all wa; teful ap-
propriation bills and "teach
• people to expect something for
'nothing -from .government—so
to weaken the nation's financial

measures of • destructio•n, Dr.” Beton'
recognized that he had said nothing'
