This philosophical doctrin. sas Ot original with Chief
Justice Vinson. It was a re-echoing of the philosophy of Holmes,
Dewey, Hobbes, Hitler, and Stalin, and of the positivist school, whic’
excludes faith in favor of objective phenomena and demonstrable
facts. To say, “There are no absolutes", and that "all concepts are
relative" is to affirm that there is no limit to the power of the
*tate; that there is no free enterprise as opposed to regimentation;
ia.* all decrees shail be subject to the whims of the totalitarian
viverelgnty in political ccntrol. Such a doctrine would make Habeas
Corpus, trial by jury, right to counsel, certiorari, and inalienable
rights, cvkject to the wiil of the political entity in office, and to
be disper.ced with if inconvenient to it and at its will.
The secularists in education are outlawing religion and
furthering the materialistic concept of life as they saturate the
minds of youth in schools and colleges. Rabbi Schultz of New York
states that, “There are 3,000 college professors who are congenital
joiners of Red fronts.” It is significant that a recent poll of the
American Sociological Society, members of whom are professors in our
colleges and universities, showed the following results:
Of the 954 members polled by post card on which was con-
tained the questions, "Do you believe in a Divine God? Do you be-
lieve in the Durwinian theury of life?" The answers showed that
276 belioved in God as a Personal Ceing; 324 as an impersonal torce;
17s believe in no God and 173 did not know whether God existed
(agnostics). The game group voted on social Darwinism as follows:
352 accepted the theory, 380 denied it, and 189 had no comment.
Thus, we see that the concept of God as an impersonal force is held
by the highest percentage, with believers in God as a Personal Force
being next. Over 2/3 of the responses actually indicated no belief
ina Personal Being.
" Another example of secularistic thinking is clearly il-
lustrated by the language of Mr. Justice Douglas and Mr. Justice
Black in the Tidelands case - U.S. v. Texas 339 0.8. 707 and modifiec
in 340 0.8. 848, in which the Supreme Court decided against the
Claim of the State of Texas to title to lands surrounding ite shores.
These two justices in a 4 to 3 decision, expounded the totalitarian
principle that what an administration of government believes to be
necessary at a givon time is ipso facto right.” This view is
Wazrien, Stalinism and certainly not Americanism, It is exactly the
