HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 27 MARCH 1965 Gen. Non Remimeo M.A. Post B Board THE JUSTICE OF SCIENTOLOGY ITS USE AND PURPOSE BEING A SCIENTOLOGIST The reason we have Justice Codes is to have justice. We don't want or need injustice. When we have no codes, "justice" can be anything any authority cares to make it. We have had too much caprice passing for justice. It is time we had justice. Committees of Evidence work. I recall one Tech Director accused of tampering with a student. I was told he was about to be disciplined and sacked. I stopped that action and had a Committee of Evidence convened. Accurate testimony revealed the story false and the Tech Director innocent. Without that Committee he would have been mined. I know of other instances where a Committee found the facts completely contrary to rumour. Some are guilty, most are innocent. But thereby we have justice and our necks aren't out. If a person is to keep the law, he or she must know what the law is. And must be protected from viciousness and caprice in the name of law. If a person doesn't keep the law knowing well what it is he or she hurts all of us and should be handled. The enturbulence of the society around us is fantastic. There is no just civil law left, really. It is that lawless and disorderly condition in the society about us which makes it hard for us to work. Shortly we will be even more powerful. That power must not be lawless or we will have anarchy and dismay, enough to stop our growth. If we have a superior law code and legal system which gives real justice to people we will swiftly flow easily over the society and everybody will win. Where we fail to apply our own administration, technology and justice procedures to the society around us (let alone Scientology) we will fail. There is too much truth in our lives not to cause a social upheaval. Therefore, let us have justice and expand into higher order, not plunge the world into darkness because our power as a group struck innocent and guilty alike. A Scientologist must understand his own justice system. Without understanding again there will be no justice. Already the following points need correction in the uninformed person concerning our justice. A Committee of Evidence is not a court. It is simply a fact-finding body with legal powers, convened to get at the facts and clean up the ARC Breaks caused by rumour. When it has the truth of it, then a Convening Authority acts-but only in exact accordance with a Justice Code. Our justice really rehabilitates in the long run. It only disciplines those who are hurting others and gives them a way to change so they can eventually win too-but not by hurting us. A Scientologist who fails to use Scientology technology and its administrative and justice procedures on the world around him will continue to be too enturbulated to do his job. That sounds extreme to anyone. But if you look it over, you will find that the "power" of the "Society" and "State" is pretended and is made from an effort to be powerful where they actually lack power. Our situation is quite the reverse. Ours is the power of truth and we are capable of power as a group, having power as individuals due to processing and power of wisdom due to superior technology. Therefore when we grant too much beingness to their "power" we are granting validity to a falsehood and so it recoils on us.
