reignty of small nations a la Cham
berlain?
Why does your friend, Mr.. Cham
berlain, fall in line with Mussolini in
ordering help for Finland? Has he
had a change of heart at last in free
ing 00,000,000 people in India and
other colonial peoples in Africa? How
did it happen that Mr.. Hitler is send
ing help to Finland now against the
Soviet Union? You remember your
vulgar phrase "Stalin has gone to bed
with Hitler"
In our own country Mr.. Herbert
Hoover, who symbolizes everything
reactionary in America, is organizing
help for Finland against the Soviet
Union. Our liberal President, Mr..
Roosevelt, who refused to sell NUM-
lions to the Ethiopian government and
came out with an embargo against the
Spanish Government which helped the
Fascists to slaughter the brave
Loyalists, has announced a moral en-
barge against the Soviet Union.
Does this united attack against the
Soviet Union mean anything to you
in the light of the ''phony war" when
Chamberlain is trying to establish
contact with some German forces to
attack the Soviet Union and "stop the
spread of Communism in Europe ?"
Does this not confirm Lenin's keen
analysis of modern society that the
world cannot be part capitalist and
part socialist and that sooner or later
the capitalist countries will mobilize
their forces and unite in an attack
against the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics, and that this attack will
especially be led by colonial empires
England, France, etc. because
freedom for national minorities is one
of the cardinal principles of the Soviet
Union.
You who shed tears about dear
democratic Finland, do you know that
the same Tsarist General Baron Won
Mannerheim who heads the present
Finnish government murdered in 1918
in cold blood 10000 Finnish workers,
peasants, and intellectuals, when he
with his white guards attacked the
legally elected government of Finland?
Did you know that the troops of the
German Kaiser helped Mannerheim
and his White Guards to kill more
than 100000 Finnish people who re-
sisted him? Do you wonder that the
Finnish people in America are cele-
brating now the liberation of their
Fatherland from the White Guards by
the Red Army?
Did you know that Finland has been
and is now the base for an attack by
the capitalist countries against the
Soviet Union? 'At the close of 1919"
says Dorothy Thompson in the Boston
Globe of December 8, 1889, "Baron
Won Mannerheim sounded the allies on
aid to the White Russian General
Yudenitch for his campaign against
the Bolsheviks."
Could you tell me who built recently
the large number of airdromes in Fin
land? Were they built for circus
show or as a base for an attack
against the Soviet Union by the
united forces of capitalism?
(Read the English weekly "The
Week."
We hear a lot about Finland paying
war debts to the United States. Are
those really war debts or it is money
loaned to the White Guards for an
attack against their own people?
Well, Mr.. CrOsswaith, I could go on
asking you a great many more ques-
lions, if space would allow. However,
one question I would like to ask YOU:
Are you really Looking Around and
Beyond" or is your intellectual horizon
so limited that you cannot see further
than the headlines in the newspapers?
Red-baltlng cannot be accepted as
an answer to these questions.
