The US right is not conservative in the sense of 'maintaining the existant order'; it represents an aggressive reaction to all real or imaginary threats to the existence of the US. In the course of the last 10 yrs, the US has known failure in China, Korea, Laos, Vietnam, Suez, & Cuba; the discontent of the Amer people has provided an opportunity for the conservatives. They oppose pol'al or military interference, & are hostile to foreign aid, & do not advocate compromises with the USSR & China. Rightist org's are estimated at 1,000 & their aim is to join together to form a 'nat'l league'. Since 1958 there exists a clandestine movement of 'minute-men' throughout 40 states. They are preparing for guerrilla warfare in case gov'al power should fall to the Communists. Among liberal groups, many precautions are taken against dangers emanating from the right. But the US has too many democratic reserves to suddenly become a fascist state. Tr & modified from IPSA by A. Chapman.
