man seeking £ party’s presi-" dential nomination. One of the handicaps faced ay the conservatives is the propaganda use of the word ‘moderate”. This word has, unhappily, found its way into regular practice in news reports. The spokesmen for “me too” thinking were automatical ly described as “moderates”, whereas the advocates of a strong new policy of national resolution were characterized as “extremists” or “radical rightists”. This is a vicious use of the word “moderate,” for it is a partisan use designed to serve one political faction. Obviously, if the “me too” group is moderate, then, by the dictionary definition, their opponents must be immoderate. This piece of trickery has been accepted by many readers and viewers of the news, said to say. The truth is that, the “me too” crowd is anything but moderate in an accurate sense. Is it genuine moderation to accept a do-nothing policy about Communist Cuba at our national doorstep? Is one a moderate if one allows the union tyranny to disrupt the normal operations of free enterprise? Is moderation to be defined as acceptance of unconstitutional force bills that provide for coerced association? The answer to these questions is a resounding “No.” Moderation, if the word is to mean anything, must mean total respect for the Constitution, for the right to work, the right to operate one’s business without federal dictation, to exercise states rights, to enjoy freedom of association, and to have the United States, conduct its foreign policy directly without interference from or subordination to the United Nations. By this definition, and it is the only one that can be logically justified, the real moderate in the Republican Party is Barry Goldwater. The radicals are those who want to pay no attention to the written text if the Constitution, and who want to give it a new interpretation according to their own desires. The radicals are those who want business to submit to tight bureaucratic controls and leave the big decisions to Big Brother in Washington. The radicals are those vho urge U. S. withdrawal and acceptance of communism everywhere in theworld-frorr Viet Nam to Cuba.
