his papers:
at is time for anger-nOt for

where II viii Be neither 4 menace

"Our army should go forward
into Mexico first, to feSeae Amer

Hearst revealed the whole das-

OUR FLAG SHOULD WAVE
OVER MEXICO AS THE SYM
Boil OF THE REHABILITA-
TION OF THAT UNHAPPY
COUNTRY AND IT'S REDEMP-
TION TO HUMANITY AND
CIVILIZATION"
And as is customary with him
Hearst sought to assure the Amer

solely for their interests" so he
concluded:
"Let our people advance as they
have always advanced. Under the
banners Of progress and enlight-

For War on Japan
That same month, Hearst called
for war with Japan. He said the
japanese we're conniving with
Mexico against the United States
Hearst gave not one hint to the
American people Of his real reason
for wanting war with Japan. But
the actual fact was that the ia
panese monied interests were COM

and other American capitalists In
the exploitation Of China.
Today Hearst raises the "Rec
scare" in his attacks on the Soviet
Union. At that time, Hearst
warned of the yellow Peril" and
said Japan had laid plans to cap
ture the Philippines. So he wrote
to the American people:
I'VE have set our hand to the

we have reached the end Of the
furfow. We have enlisted for the
fight; let us not desert Of desist
until the victory Il won" And IN
a more open call for war, he said:
What we conquer, let us con-
serve for the advantage and ad-

How Hearst Made . War
A certain Evangeline Cisnero
was arrested and imprisoned by tn
Spanish Bourbons. The young wo

Hearst sent two reporters an
two other men to rescue the gil

Madison Square Garden. Hearst
papers screamed with headline
about his remarkable achievement
The wall Street government al
claimed this feat Of "fescuing
