DANGER OF A GREAT WORLD WAR
WHAT ARE WE DOING TO STOP IT?


telling the truth about Europe. No good come
from becouding the which the world facing
result Of soviet Russss recent military successes The
uprising in Berlin IS but straw which shows the way the
wind is blowing With opposition crushed at home, the
Bolshe7sts ready TO throw their hordes against the
nations Of central Europe which alone stand between
the communism Of the east and the civilization Of the
west Gen Bliss points to Poland as the only oulwark
against Boshesm the time admitting the super
ority Of Russian arms the Poles If Poland falls be
fore the red invasion Germany must be called to the res
cue, Europe may be overrun-
From the far east, too, rumblings Of impending
events which make the whole world trebe Soviet Rus
ensng the support Of China II the conflict with
Japan China dshearened by the peace conferences rob
berry Of her territory Is receptive mood There are
radicals China Just IN other countries, and weak
government cononts them Spued by hatred Tor Japan
Chinese leaders their opportunity for revenge in union
with Russia Thus great injustice Is quickly bearing
fruit the allied world lost its influence in China, when
it approved the Shsntung outrage
THIS, with another Russo-Japanese war looming in 81
IBERIA and with uprisings in Germany, the world may
well pause why such condition has been brought
about Has the allied woTld-has America-pursued the
proper toward Russia? First we sent our armies
onto the territory Of a nation with which at
peace Our justification military necessity, the
old plea that Germany made when she invaded Bel
GUM and which every nation has made when violating
neutral Territory But when the military necessity no
longer existed troops and the troops Of the a1es
stayed It only when an aroused public sentiment
demanded il, that agreed to withdraw iron RUSSIAN
soil
Now the allied powers are trying to defeat BOshevism
with an economic blockade This policy VIII fail Just as
did the military campaign Hunger not going to bring
order out Of chaos Hunger only makes mad men madden
And It Is not Lenne and Trotzy that VIII hungry, but
the women and children the innocent Of Russia
After all what business IS II OF ours what KIND OF
government Russia has We should thank whatever powers
there be that guide the desnes Of nations that It IS Rus
ss not the United States America that is trying out
the experiment Of communism. Let Russia have her i'll
Of it, Just quarantine her
Bolshevis VIII run its course In due time The world
IS still sane theory Of government long endure
which places at naught the arts and sciences religion the
home and all things which cherished by right living
and right thinking men.
The av TO overthrow Bolshevism is not with armies
and blockades No nation Is justified in the Of force
to impose on Russia any other form Of government than
she herself elects to If the poison threatens our
own life then must fight but so long as Russia minds
her business, we must mind ours
II Is true that Russia IS threatening Europe and the
orient But perhaps this because the world IS fighting
Russia with an economic blockade. The reds recently
showed disposition to make peace with smaller power;
more than likely they would make peace with the stronger
nations
Americas mission IN the new world crisis is TO show the
world what democracy attain We should be the great
example to prove that socialism IS not needed to give every
man his chance; that in free nation Ike ours all men
are equal Let mad old world see in Us country Of
happy prosperous and contented people, and time VII

If we could get any satisfaction out of telling how high
