Editorial Reviews

This is a remarkable and fascinating lecture given by the president of Harding College in 1962. Dr. George Benson was leading a crusader against communism similar to McCarthy from the 50s. Benson argues that the communist push for "peace fronts" as a way to get Kennedy to eliminate the United States' atomic arsenal was merely a way for them to prepare for a war where their superior numbers could overwhelm us without the "protection" of nukes, "To the Communists, peace means destroy the capitalist countries." He brandishes communist writings and quotes luminaries such as Kennedy, Kruschev, Eisenhower, and Hoover. He warns that communist infiltration will corrupt the American worker against his employers, will enlist the help of women's organizations, and will appeal to blacks, or "work with the colored, join them in any problem they have, be their friend under all circumstances, make the Communist party appear to be the party of the colored." Benson's an effective speaker, and his dated and often extreme views are spectacular opportunities for historical insight in this wonderful vintage film.
