ACQUISITION OF TERRITORY

To the Editor:
! The invasion of Poland seems to
tus a terrible thing; but England has
been the most profuse in her pro-
pagandizing of the terriblenesS of
said invasion.
/ Do pray tell me how England ac-
quired most of her territory! Do you
i think that natives of said countries
approached England with supplica-
tions to rule their countries? Just
how did England acquire Egypt, In
dia. New Zealand, Canada, Australia,
Hong Kong. Scotland and the rest
of her territories? Surely you would
not infer that she made just pur-
chases of said territories?
Did she not trample on the weak
at every opportunity in order to ag-
orandize the British Empire: that
England that was SO profuse in her
criticisms of Napoleon? Why are
there so many anglo-maniacs in
America? Has not England availed
herself of every opportunity to dis
credit America and Americans? Did
the doughboys take any special lik-
ing to the English? No, they did not!
It takes "bamboo'' Americans to
participate in such asininity!
Personally, l love America, I am
no subservient idiot to any English
man. There have been innumerable
incidents in history that would prove
even to a moron that England is not
our friend and never was. The Ma
tional Bank Act of 1868, per Sc, is
enough to prove that.
Personally, l detest the English,
they are mediocre at their best q
have often talked with "bamboo"
Americans that mimicked English
jargon. l have often wondered if said
Americans thought they We're using
pure English in SO doing. I can only
say this English as spoken by the
English is corruption of Limehouse
COckney. Limehouse is the slum dis
trict Of London. Have you ever had
the opportunity of listening to one
that speaks pure English? l have
English is classed as a Germanic
language, and is a very common
sense language. Slurring and dis
torting the voWels and consonants
is no sign Of culture. The formula
tors Of the English language have
had in mind at all times to produce
a language that is best understood.
During and prior to the HWriter on
the Avon," Shakespere, it was the
custom not to follow any set of rules
in the use of the English language,
but the sole aim and purpose was
to express ones self so that they
might be best understood.
All philologists laugh at the enun-
Citations of the English. Any one that
has studied and heard only pure
English would be unable to under
stand the English Then after they
had learned to understand the pre-
Valent enunciations Of the English,
would evoke only laughter. The Eng
lish murder beautiful thing, name
ly the English language.
1t is only natural that a nation or
empire that has grasped every inch
of territory that it can very safely
grasp, to try to remove the mote
from his fellow-grasper' eye. Mot
to: What is right for England is
wrong for the rest of the world. It
is honorable and right for England
to seize India; but it would be very
wrong for India to attempt to seize
England. Hitler is a murderer; but
England just slew: I guess they call
it manslaughter. Why was the Eng
lish pirate, Henry Morgan, given a
lordship, for "slewing"? The whole
sale murder Of Arabs, Indians, Egyp-
tians, Crimeans, New Zealanders,
aborigines of Australia (now extinct,
murdered by the English), and in
Vulnerable other aborigines was just
"slewing," and not murder.
"To seduce their neighbors to a
favorable opinion, and afterwards to
believe implicitly in this opinion of
