Dear Christian Friend,
It is with both reluctance and confidence that I present
this appeal for special help . The reluctance is due to a natural
abhorrence of appearing in the role of one asking for something.
My confidence stems from the knowledge of your vital concern for
the security of yourHome and Country wnich stand threatened by the
ever increasing Communist encirclement.
me basic plan of Communism is "Encirclement plus Demoralization equals Surrender " The main targets are the uncommitted
nations where there is a vast literature offensive being waged by
the Communists . Wi e,nin our cwn Society, the Co,, . iuni sts are content
to Demoralize, that is, to produce fear, apathy and confusion and
to weaken our will to resist . This is being done in many subtle
ways .
To counter these moves it is the aim of the Crusade
to promote an understanding of Communism's true motives and to
point to the awesome facts of Communist Victory . To do this requires money.
We nave radio programmes established, but not enough . We
need money to expand them.
We are printing tens of thousands of pieces of literature
- but not enough . We need to print hundreds or thousands of booklets, pampnlets etc . This can be done only if we receive the necessary financial support.
The dedication of the Communists knows no bounds . &hey
give of their time, their money and their energy, To defeat them
we must be dedicated to the Cause of Christ and to the Cause of
Christian Liberty.
We pledge to you our ever increasing efforts to bring
about the victory which our faith expects.
Will you help us?
sincerely yours in
Christian Service,

Dear Friend,
The outreach and influence of the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade continue
to increase . The Printing Press which we installed a few months ago has achieved
dramatic savings in our printing costs and a consequent increase in the number of
pamphlets and booklets which are being circulated.
As in most healthy, growing infants the appetite of the Printing Press for
paper, inks etc is increasing . The more we print, the greater the demand . That is
exactly the way it ought to be . This aspect of our work is pleasing, but, of course,
it automatically creates problems . For instance, when we produced " The Communist Mind " we found that many people requested quantities for free distribution . We
welcome these requests . We believe that the outreach comes first and that the financial considerations must follow.
Our whole programme has met with a most encouraging response . We receive
letters from all states of Australia and from overseas which indicate a very favourable
reception of our work . Continuing requests for literature, tape recordings and films
are being received . Our Radio programmes are meeting with a favourable response.
Our lecturers are being enthusiastically received wherever they appear.
It is only in the financial field that we have experienced difficulty, This applies
particularly to money for our local needs . (The financial response to our missionary
programme has been encouraging) . Last week, for instance, our income was £40 less
than our expenditure, and over the last six months there has been a deficit of more
than £1, 000 . This deficit has been met by securing short term loans from some of
our friends . These now have to be repaid and we are confident that you will wish to
help repay them.
We are delighted with overall response . The members of the Crusade staff are
enthusiastic in their desire to reveal Communism's true nature but we cannot do a
really effective task unless our finances are stablized . It would be tragic if we had to
curtail any aspect of our vital work . The Communists continue to slice thinly and to
slice often at the areas of the free world while Communist territory remains inviolate.
To maintain our freedom, it is vital that we expose the tactics which they employ.
We need, and we need urgently : (1) an immediate sacrificial gift to meet our
pressing needs . (2) Regular supporters who will give 101- or £l or more each month.
This can be done in one of the following ways . (1) By using the enclosed card and prepaid envelope . After each month's payment we would receipt the card and return it to
you with another envelope for the next month's payment . (2) By arranging with your
Bank Manager to remit a fixed amount each month to the Crusade's bank account.
Receipts for the amounts would be written and forwarded with the quarterly Newsletter.
Our work is of great importance and it must not be hamstrung because of our
financial limitations . Will you help us to get on with the vital task of educating people
to the true nature of Godless Communism which, if exposed, can be dramatically defeated .
Yours very sincerely,
Elton ils on, Director.

Dear Friend,
The perilous position occupied by Australia in a vulnerable zone
of a troubled world concerns all thoughtful people . We all desire a world of
freedom for ourselves and our children but the signs continue to grow more
ominous that this desire may prove delusional . The atheistic and aggressive
Communist forces threaten to overwhelm us e
The perplexing problem is what to do . Awareness of the danger
and an inability to do anything to stop it are frustrating indeed.
The Christian Anti-Communism Crusade is making a valiant effort
to grapple with this problem . The essential elements of an effective campaign
are informed and skilful workers, the necessary tools of communication (including literature, films and the spoken word) and adequate financial support.
The Crusade can provide the first two of these requirements but
the third is lacking . The workers, led by Mr . Elton Wilson, are informed,
eloquent and dedicated . The literature produced is of fine quality and there is
an abundance of tape recordings and films °
I am concerned that many who approve of the work of the Crusade
are unaware of the financial need ° Mr . Wilson relinquished a profitable
business to accept the position of Director of the Crusade . He has not received
one penny of salary or remuneration from Australian sources . He addresses
scores of meetings and from the majority he does not receive even travelling
expenses .
To carry on, it has been necessary in the past year for the American
Crusade to subsidise the Australian work to the extent of £3, 000-0-0 . In addition
to this a debt of £1, 250-0-0 was incurred, This is money which could be spent
most profitably in a country like Indonesia.
The answer to the financial dilemma is for those who desire to
defeat Communism to share the financial burden . If we can recruit 1,000
regular monthly supporters our problem will be resolved . In America the
Crusade has 50, 000 supporters . Is is visionary to believe that 1,000 can be
found here .?
Please become a Share Partner in our programme . Fill in the
accompanying card and return it with the assurance that you will be giving active
support to the forces of freedom, and helping the Cause of Christ who came to
make men free.
Since the situation is so serious and the need is urgent, please
accept this frank appeal and act at once .
Yours very sincerely,
(Fred C . Schwarz)

Dear Christian Friend,
Recent world events do not leave a great deal of room for complacency.
During 1963, while certain waves have receded, the evidence confirms that the
tide continues to flow in favour of Communism . The Communists can survey
their annual balance sheet with confidence . There are more people under Communist tyranny now than at any previous time in history.
The problem of Communism must be faced if our every-day freedoms
are to survive . Such freedoms as the right to worship as one chooses, the
right to influence one's children as one chooses, the right of free association
and of free expression have become so commonplace in our Society that most
people seldom think about them.
It has been well said that " Freedom is only one generation removed
from slavery" and it is the responsibility of each of us to play our part in
preserving the freedom which exists within our Society. Before we can be
effective in the struggle against Communism it is absolutely necessary that we
understand its real nature.
As the enclosed invitation shows, it is the aim of the Christian AntiCommunism Crusade to conduct a public dinner at The Canberra Hotel, Edward
and Ann Streets Brisbane, on Thursday January 16th at 6 . 30 p . m. The tariff
for the dinner will be 12s . 6d . and the speaker will be Brisbane-born Dr . Fred.
Schwarz .
We trust that you will be able to attend and that you will encourage your
friends to accompany you . As this will be Dr . Schwarz's only meeting in Brisbane
during his current visit, we are anxious to make it an outstanding success and we
hope that you will be able to help to make it so.
We look forward to meeting you on January 16th.

Dear Christian Friend,
Instead of our NewsLetter, we enclose this month, a copy of " The
Communist at Work" . This is a chapter of Dr . Schwarz's book " You
Can Trust the Communists " . We have published it at this time because
the Communists are becoming increasingly active in Australia through
" front " organisations . This subtle approach of Communism has been
quite successful in duping many people of goodwill.
An understanding of the basic Communist techniques will go a long
way towards preventing the manipulation of good people by the Communists
We are particularly anxious to distribute this booklet to University
students because a great deal of Communist effort is being directed to
this area.
Would you help in the distribution in the following way?
(1) By requesting from us further copies for distribution to your
University friends,
(2) By generously supplying us with funds to make possible the wide
distribution of Crusade literature including " The Communist at
Work" and " You Can Trust the Communists . "
CONCLUSION.
Communism is not a " working man's movement " , although it pretends to be such . It is a movement of ruthless, godless intellectuals
who attempt to scientifically manipulate all strata of society . The Communists have been generally successful beyond their wildest dreams, but
wherever there has been an understanding of their tactics, they have been
singularly unsuccessful.
Your assistance will help us to tear away the veil of deceit which is a
necessary part of Communist advance.
Sincerely yours in Christian Service,
(Elton Wilson)

Dear Friend,
A few months ago many people believed that Communism, as a
significant force, had ceased to exist . This produced a climate of complacency which has worked tremendously to the Communists° advantage.
Recent world events, as well as those of a more local nature,
have tended to dissipate some of this complacency.
It is the belief of the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade that
the only effective basis for counter-action to Communism is knowledge.
We have maintained this viewpoint since our inception and it is encouraging to see that many thinking people are appreciating the wisdom
of this approach . It is of vital concern to us that the widespread knowledge of the true nature of Communism be imparted to Australian Youth
and with this in view we have decided to conduct a series of Youth
Rallies .
The first of these will be held at Willard House, Ann Street,
Brisbane, (opposite City Hall) and the second will be held at the Masonic
Hall, Pacific Highway, Hornsby, N .S .W.
We would appreciate it if you would make either of these meetings
known to any Young People of your acquaintance.
We promise to those who attend an evening which will be interesting
and challenging and which will be attuned to the needs of the Youth of today.
Yours very sincerely.
P . S . We enclose some invitations which we trust you will be able to use

Dear Christian Friend,
In recent weeks the Communists have met with dramatic successes . In the IndiaPakistan dispute the Chinese Communists have cleverly manipulated the Pakistanis and
in so doing have gained a tremendous amount of influence in that area . At the same time
the Russian Communists have been able to appear as peace-makers in this dispute and as
the saviours of India against the Chinese aggression at the Sikkim border . The total effect
has been to increase the power of the two Communist giants and to cause a serious decrease
in the influence of the West.
At our doorstep Indonesia is pursuing policies which are in many ways indistinguishable from those of the Communists Banning of all types of Anti-Communist activity in
Indonesia is a matter of very great concern . The establishment of a Communist Party in
West Irian must inevitably be the forerunner of infiltration and subversion in Papua and
the rest of New Guinea.
The present situation is very black indeed, but it is by no means hopeless . One of
the great areas where hope exists is to be found in the fact that Communism runs counter
to the normal stream of human emotion Communism, is, by its own definition, a form
of slavery.
The tragedy is that those people who are more and more coming under direct Communist influence are not fully aware of the totalitarian nature of Communism . Many of our
northern neighbours do not know that if Communism comes to power there will be an assault
upon their family rights, their rights of association, their right of criticism and their
religious freedom The alleged economic improvement has never proved to be a substitute
for the right to exercise ones own basic desires . The choice of those who are conquered becomes brutally narrow - flee, submit or be crushed . If our northern neighbours are conquered it is predictable that many will attempt to seek refuge in other countries . Whither
shall they flee? And if the conquest of our northern neighbours results in our eventual conquest whither shall we flee? Or shall we submit?
It is plain common sense as well as a Christian duty to ensure that Communism does
not conquer Since Communism runs counter to human emotion it can only come to power by
deception and it must remain in power by force.
The Communist Party of Australia has an income estimated at £250, 000 per annum.
(Yes, one quarter of a million pounds every year!) This massive amount of money is being
directed to the destruction of all that we hold dear,
The whole of the programme of the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade is directed to
exposing the deception of the Communists during their phase of attempted conquest . It is a
matter of great concern to us that our programme has thus far been limited by a totally inadequate income There is so much that can be done and so little time in which to do it . If
we could be released from the day to day strain of financial existence the efforts which the
Crusade could make would be rewarded out of all proportion to their size . At the present
time our financial survival depends upon help from the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade
in America In other words the ordinary American people, who are our main supporters in
the United States, are subsidising the Australian Crusade's attempts to keep Australia free.
Surely we Australians are as concerned about our own freedom as the Americans are about
theirs and ours . Surely freedom loving people can match the sacrifice of the Communists
who desire the destruction of freedom . Will you help us to initiate a programme which will
yet bring about the defeat of a Godless monopolistic force? Will you contribute generously
or become a share partner in the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade? Together let us make
sacrifices to ensure that future generations of Australians will enjoy the privileges which
have been bequeathed to us? A share partner card, which we hope you will use, is enclosed.

1st November, 1966.
Dear Christian Friend,
Not so long ago the Communists throughout the world were confident that
their victory was both assured and imminent . In some areas this confidence led
to arrogance . The Communists became so sure of victory that they apparently
felt that the mask was no longer necessary . Like so many of their predecessors
in tyranny the lust for power clouded their sober judgment.
At the present time some of the Communists are complaining - they are
not quite so vocal in espousing their theory of "inevitability" . But, surprisingly
enough, they continue to believe that as surely as the sun rises, they will go on to
final victory . Each setback is regarded by the faithful Communist as a manifestation of the continuing power of "reaction" and their blind faith in their own "progressive" nature gives to them the confidence (sometimes arrogant - sometimes
quiet) that they will be victorious.
The events of the past couple of years should have proved conclusively the
utter absurdity of many of Communism's claims . It has become abundantly clear
that Communism is an untenable doctrine rejected en masse by the very people who
theoretically should support it . Setbacks in Brazil, Ghana, Algeria, Indonesia,
Vietnam and elsewhere as well as the deep divisions now evident in the Communist
camp have dulled the edge of their previously dangerous blade.
Despite this, Communism still poses a serious threat to our security . This
threat will remain for some time to come . The doctrine of the exclusive right of
any group to rule is an exceedingly dangerous one . Not the slightest evidence exists
to suggest that the Communists have been chosen of history, and yet at the heart of
Communist doctrine this false belief resides . A continuing threat to the rights of
free men is posed by the very existence of such a belief and of a powerful party able
to propagate it . That is why those who love freedom and who believe that tyranny
should have no place in our society, find it necessary to engage in programmes of
education regarding the true nature of Communism.
It is because of this necessity that the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade
carries out its educational programmes . This is done by means of frequent public
lectures, the screening of films, the distribution of tapes and literature, radio
broadcasting, etc . There can be no doubt of the effectiveness of our programmes,
but they are limited because of the limitations of finance . This letter is written in
the hope that you will make a sacrificial gift so that this vital work can not only
continue, but expand .
Sincerely yours in Christian Service,
(L . M . Schwarz)
