Truth
What a walloping the cause
of truth gets these days!
Richard Nixon asked, in his
inauguration talk, for calmness.
His hand-picked
running mate,
Mr. Agnew, has
been extremely
raucous.
So you would
think that ser-
enity-min d e d
Mr. Nixon would
take exception
to the noisy Agnew.
But, no. He approves.
In his acceptance speech at the
party convention, the one speci
fic which Mr. Nixon mentioned
was the need to get a new At
torney-General.
The old one at the time was
Ramsey Clark. Why did Mr.
Nixon single out Mr. Clark for
condemnation? Possibly because
he felt Mr. Clark was lenient
in upholding law-and-order.
But in one of the most care
ful studies ever made of the
activities of an Attorney-Gener
al, Richard Harris, in the New
Yorker Magazine, shows that
Ramsey Clark was a superb up
holder of the law.
So where’s the truth?
Or take the November mobili
zation foy: peace. With at least
a quarter of a million people
on hand in Washington, the
March on Death was the greatest
gathering of its kind in history.
Was it a violent demonstra
tion? Mr. Nixon’s Attorney-
General, Mr. Mitchell, says it

man was asked whether the
White House ok’d the talk. One
day the answer was yes, the
next it was no, and the third
it was maybe.
Or take our State Department.
When American fliers pursued
the enemy into Cambodia and
fired on them there, some eye
brows were raised about the
penetration of that country.
Snapped an American spokes
man: when we are attacked, we
have an “inherent right” to
chase our attackers no matter
where they flee.
And yet the United States
Government, at the United Na
tions, joined in chiding the State
of Israel again and again be
cause Israel tried to flush out
its assailers. Icily the U. S. rep
resentative denied to Israel that
“inherent right” which it claims
for itself in Cambodia.
