Dear Fellow Co-Workers:
Since I wrote you a month ago, many things have happened.
The Arab guerrilla hijacking of giant 707 passenger aircraft and
blowing them up -- the civil war between the guerrillas and King
Hussein's government army, with Syria beginning to join in against
the Jordan forces, presented a world crisis that could have
exploded into nuclear world war. I said then that King Hussein
could be assassinated any minute.
But the governments of Britain, West Germany, Switzerland,
and even partially the United States, bowed before the threats of
the outlaw guerrillas, and the world-explosion between the GREAT
powers of Russia and the United States was held off -- for the
time.
Instead of a Hussein assassination, President Nasser of Egypt
died of a heart attack. But the sudden quieting of Middle East
events is only temporary. It may flare out again at any minute.
On the heels of these events came the kidnapping of two high
government officials in Canada. Individual kidnappers held the
government at bay, and murdered one of the kidnapped officials.
When outlaw bands of violent men can bring great nations'
governments to their knees, law and order in this world is just
about DONE!
Now there is in the United States an organized plot to kill
policemen -- the goal being to overthrow all government in this
country by destroying law and order. Many significant world EVILS
are happening right now that had NEVER occurred even a year ago!
BOMBINGS are occurring as never before. Yesterday's newspaper
carried pictures of a bank destroyed by bombing -- and it was not
the first such bombing. Now there are occurring a series of MASS-
MURDERS. Obscenity has accelerated, and morals plunged clear to
the cesspool, until there are now newspaper reportings of a number
of places where nude actors on stage indulge in actual (not
simulated) intercourse before audiences. A judge was recently
murdered in his own courtroom during a trial.
Such things had never happened a year ago.
