Extremism Bad for
U. S., Says Sanders
“Extremism in defense of lib
erty is no vice. Moderation in
the pursuit of justice is no vir
tue."—Barry Goldwater.
“I believe that moderation is a
virtue and that extremism is a
vice "—Carl E. Sanders.
Those statements were made,
in that sequence, by the Repub
lican Party’s presidential nomi
nee in his acceptance speech and
by Georgia’s Democratic gover
nor in commenting on the GOP
candidates remarks.
When asked by newsmen what
he thought of Goldwater's now
famous extremism vs. modera
tion statement, Sanders de
clared:
“Let me say this on this busi
ness of extremism and I am not
dealing in personalities, but I am
dealing in philosophy; I am
dealing in principle The idea of
approving extremism as an ac
ceptable policy of government in
America is appaling to me.
“I think extremism is like a
cancer the quicker you remove
it the better, or it will destroy
you I also think that there is
nothing in common between ex
tremism and Americanism. I
think that extremism belongs to
that group of isms which deny
the democratic process and
HELP
HELP provides effective pain
relief in a wide variety of ar
thritic and rheumatic conditions j
as well as in other painful con
ditions such as headache, and
neuralgias In addition HELP is
indicated as a pain reliever and
reduces fever in diseases accom- |
panied by discomfort and fever,
such as the common cold and
other viral infections.
HELP is a clinically proved
pain reliever and reduces fever I
where aspirin would be indicated |
and lias these advantages over
aspirin. HELP is non-irritating to
the gastric mucosa, so that it is
a particularly useful pain re
liever in peptic ulcer or gastritis.
HELP is extremely well tolerated
and safe for chronic use HELP
is effective in aspirin-sensitive
patients and is unlikely to pre
cipitate a reaction in patients
with a history of allergy.

•which, if uncontrolled, can
i create the conditions that pro
duce Communism, Fascism, So-
| cialism or Nazism.
“I for one am confident that
the people of Georgia the
thinking and responsible citizens
:of this state-want no part of
! extremism. We have seen and we
already know what this type of
philisophy leads to.”
Sanders said the portion of
Goldwater's speech dealing with
extremism, which he quoted
word for word, ‘disturbed me
greatly.” The he added:
“I say you might look at the
other side of the coin and I am
not trying to draw parallel ex
cept for the purpose of making
my position clear. Martin Luther
King Jr. (Negro integration
leaden has said, and let's quote
him too, ‘One has a moral re
sponsibility to disobey unjust
laws.’
‘‘Now these statements come
from two sources that are or
dinarily poles apart in their po
sitions but there is a concern in
my mind, and I am sure in the
I minds of many others whose
; sworn duty it is to unhold the
law and to carry out the provi
sions of our Constitution and the
responsibilities of the laws of
this state and this nation, that
both of these statements repre
sent the same philosophy that,
the means will justify'the end "
Again referring to the state
ment, “extremism in defense of
liberty is no vice," Sanders
j asked: “Os whose liberty are you
■ speaking? Liberty as provided by
| law, or liberty as defined by the
| individual?”
Such statements, he declared,
jure “two-edge blades” and “they
can be interpreted by the ex
tremist, no matter what his
philosophy or what his goals
may be, as a blank check for
■ any action that he may dream
' up to fit his own views."
The Governor said the 188-
year-old Georgia seal wisely
lists ' Wisdom, Justice and Mod
eration” as its principles -not
"Wisdom, Justice and Extrem
ism" an d that he believes
those original words still repre
sent the feeling and the beliefs
of a vast majority of Georgians.
"I believe," Sanders re-em
phasized. "that moderation is a '
virtue and that extremism is a
vice, and I believe that Geor
gians want to adhere to a course
of action which will allow us to
proceed with dignity, with re
spect and with honor within the
framework ot law and order . . .
And extremism certainly is not
conducive to the support of es- ;
Jablished law and order '
"I hope," he concluded, “I
have made myself clear."
