Douglas again took a lone stand against the opinion. DOUGLAS FEELS that this type oi laws is “plainly an aid to all organized religions, bring- ing to heel anyone who violates: the religious scruples of the ma-l joi-ity by seeking ,his salvation . on his own." I Douglas's deep belief in per- , sonal freedum has led to many contmvelsial statcments an creep into our way of lite. Douglas asks, ”Eut.what pur— pose is leit in this soft, easy life like all other men?” A TRAVELER and conserva— tionist. Douglas has written many books and articles about his journeys. He states in his “Russian Journey" that he was anxious to his part. In his most recent see what socialism under a to. booklet, “Freedom oi the ,‘talitarian regime had done to Mind," he tells oi his opposi- iRussia and the impact of a po— tion to banning a book because lice state on the individual. He postal oiiicials or "some purity league" considers it obscene. He states. “Sex cannot be sur— pressed in life. Should it be at. tempted in literature?" Douglas, in the same publica. tion, contends that the Fifth Amendment was intended "to. make the government produce no matter What the differences were between our two Countries, wal‘ because both countries are ,too powerful, too VflSL and too iiar flung.

He presents, his views on this subject in “De tmocracy’s Manifesto." In the in , troduction he states: “WE HAVE BEEN on the de liensivc against international communism ior so long that we un the risk of making it ouri ‘pel‘manent policy.

Such a plan was announced, ‘in 1951 in the Alliance for Pro- gress . . . Even more important. our people, young and old, must be quickly rallied to prepare themselves for overseas work, ' any plan is to be implemented. In this book he goes on toi criticize our government, Cspeol ialally the Central lntelligencel iAgency, for supporting icudal governments in underdeveloped countries. “I have never visited ta village in Asia where America, ‘was revered as a symbol of free- dom and justice," tells Douglas. Maintaining our status quo in foreign countries only serves 1 I the Communist cause, accord- , ing to Douglas. Be declares, i I l “Our efforts to shore up old 1 I feudal societies make Khrush- chev coniident that commu- I nism will win—without Snviet Russia or Red China dropping one bomb.” More on this sub~ , ject will be given in the hen» lure “Denmcmcy vs. Commu- i nisin in Asia.” 1 Dougia’s version of a world government is brought forth in his pamphlet “The Rule of Law evidence . . . rather than putting a man or a women on the rack and squeezing out of him or her the stuff to convict them," He also declared that news papers are somewhat to blame for the decline in personal free— dom because they do not “ex- ploit" their guaranteed freedom but instead are out to make money. IN ANOTHER book, “Americal Challenged,” Douglas discusses several more of his beliefs. Dissent is one right he baolrs heavily in this hook. “it is es- sential to the operation of a free press. The aliairs of gov» l ernmeut could not be conduct- ed without it . , .
