INFILTRATION OF BRITISH SUBVERSIvE PROPAGANDA
 IN U. S. A. TO BE FEARED

To the Editor:
 During the past three weeks it has been my pleasure to discuss the provisions of the Cash and Carry
 Clause of the Neutrality Act, through the columns of The Water bury Democrat. am deeply grate- full to you for printing these articles. Your paper has taken a strictly neutral attitude toward the combatants which believe to be the Christian view point, and it re- fleets the attitude and the opinions of many Americans in all walks of life. Recently, in an address deliv- cred by the Reverend Lodge Curran, president of the International Catholic Truth Society, Dr. Lodge said: Cash and Carry is the vesti- bule, to our entry into another World War"
 Many unsuspecting Americans, however, are still unaware of the fact that Great Britain is using her age-old tactics of propagandizing the United States. There is ample
 documentary proof that Commu- nists, leftists and subversive activi- ties have been foisted in this coun- try by British interests and at the present time nationwide campaign of propaganda is being disseminated by British interests for the sole purpose of disrupting our National unity-setting capital and labor at loggerheads, reducing our standard of living, and keeping our factories idle while under reciprocal" treat ies we import goods from all parts of the British empire so England can have a balanced budget. The old adage of Divide and conquer" When will Americans wake up and demand an Investigation of British propaganda?
 For many years the advocates of Universal World Federation of Na- tions under "one single government" and under the domination of the British Commonwealth of the World" has been advanced by Eng fish Rhodes scholars. The late An drew Carnegie in his book "Trium- phant Democracy" outlines world federation under British Common wealth of nations. Every American who believes in our Constitutional form of government, and in George Washington's policy of no foreign entangiements should read this book, as it unfolds plans for an In- ternat:onal Police Force, in which our boys would be sent to all parts of the world to quell the uprisings of peoples crushed under Britain's heel
 One of the foremost opponents of this so-called Commonwealth of Nations is Nicholas Murray Butler, president of the Carnegie Endow- ment of International Peace," a high sounding name for a Pro- Communist front. In the Herald Tribune" Sept. 4th, 1899, MT. Butler at Southampton. L. T., Sept. 8, 1889 advocated universal world fedora ton under lone single government" MT. Butler said, and here I quote his exact words-"There is no req son why those States which are called TOTALITARIAN should not be included in such 6 Federal

Syndicate, speaks of the terrible and novel vengeance" that Ger many promised Britain if she con- tinued the war after the downfall of Poland. Strangely enough those are almost the same words with which David Lloyd George, threat ened the Irish plenipotentiaries back in 1921 when he dictated Britain's terms and said that they could &C., cept them or take immediate and terrible war" as an alternative.
 Many Anglophiles of the type of Dr. Butler are greatly concerned with the plight of all Czechs and Poles. When Russia, like giant vulture swept down on prostrate Poland, did Britain declare war on Russia? Did the United States sever diplomatic relations with the So. viets? I should say not. We are OF kissing terms with the gorilla ot the Kremlin." We sy1npathize with Christian Poland who has been cru- cified by international finance. In. ternational finance because S5 per cent of the wealth of Poland was controlled by the Bank of England, MT. Butler knows the value of Propaganda. Like Carnegie before him, he knows that to create 8 world government, national govern- ments must collapse-but 1t is inter- esting to note that the Catholic countries are hit FIRST. Perhaps there is a deep seated reason why England did not rush to the aid of Catholic Poland.
 In the Congressional Record of Feb. 3, 1883, Rep. George Tinkham of Massachusetts enumerated the largest promoters of subversive movements in the United States as "The Carnegie Endowment for In- ternational Peace," the Carnegie Corporation" the Rockefeller Foun- Cction," and naming Dr. Butler, whom he termed "Disloyal and Sedi- tious" as the head of the first, and Prof. James Shotwell Ian expatri- ated British subject" as director of the second. Both Butler and Shot, well were denounced as spearheads for British propaganda.
 When Dr. Butler advocates Federal Union under a British Com- monwealth of Nations, he is att tempting to take American citizens to the cleaners. Instead of falling for his British propaganda, we are looking oyer his dirty linen. and putting it out for an airing, so all may see. Man years ago when Gen. eral Gage surrendered to General George Washington our forefathers said farewell to British tyranny and oppression. After one hundred and fifty years of freedom under the Constitution of the United States, we can still hear the echo of the vibrant notes of the liberty bell'' proclaiming to the world our inde- depence as . sovereign nation. Our forefathers were satisfied with our present form of government. and SC are we. There is only one thing left to say: To hell with Butler and his Federation of Nations. He and his Communist stooges, would teai down what we hold most sacred, for the traditional 30 pieces of silver.

other heavily armored British warships. For years the American admirals sat around the general board solemnly swearing that the battleship was invincible. She could withstand all sorts of pun ishment, they said. She could be hit by airplane bombs or submar- inc torpedoes, but she could not be sunk.
 General Billy Mitchell of the Army Air Corps tried to tell them differently. So did the late Ad- miral Moffett, head of the navy's air services and such civilians as Secretary of State Stimson and Senator Dave Reed of Pennsyl- vania.

Selected Poem
OCTOBER (Margaret B. Harkins, Bethany,

\MdrBaIeL Q. darkluS, 6eCna0y,
 in the New Haven Journal Courier) The view of all Nature is changing, The last gay robes of the year: And soon the bright colors be ranging, Into the brown and the sere. The hunters wise hound is baying,
 He longs to be of to the wood; The rabbit and quail betraying,
 The poSsum and coon if he could. The birds are flocking with reason, The bluejay calls loudest of all; They have sung their notes all season, But old joy is king of the Fall. His voice is harsh and defiant;
 He bids them go South. on their wayl Cold storms do not make him suppliant; Though the ice and snow he will stay.
