World Affairs

OF the world is the task which
President Roosevelt has pledged
the United States. This has
been made necessary because OF
the spread in the old world OF
doctrines that are one form OF
another of enslavement of the
common people to make great
and mighty the military and
political power of one man and
group.
Two things render accomplish
ment of a perfect dictatorship
today. One is other dictators and
the other is the United States
OF America. This ignores the
fact that the populations Of the
dictator lands, grooming under
the burdens imposed on them,
shall inevitably rise and smash
their oppressor in due time.
AS long as dictators wage
war on each other there is very
little chance that any one may
achieve the bright place in the
sun they each seek. And as long
as the United States presents a
united front made up of the
worlds mightiest navy and
heavily armed army dictator
ships cannot be made permanent
nor can they compete with her.
Thus ALL Of the dictators,
Guiding Joe Stain, seek our
defeat. Any other belief or
line of thought cannot be en-
tertained by informed folks who
are patriotic Americans in the
light of events abroad the past
several years and here at home
where sabotage has been start
ed by ism groups even before we
enter War-merely to prevent us
from arming ourselves. Most
OF those who tell YOU tina, we
are in no danger and that all we
haev to do attend to our normal
peaceful pursuits. are actually |
measuring YOU for your coffinl
The idea of Nazism, Commun-
ism Fascism and the Japanese |
brand of dictatorship is not to
help even the common folks of |
their own nation but to enslave
ALL common peoples they can
to produce things needed to
keep the government mighty.
These things range from food
and luXurieS and cannon fodder
Tor the masters. For the masses
OF the population bare poverty
and only sufficient food to keen
them able to work and no luxur-
ies-for there cannot be enough !
to share with the dupes. Those
who admire and like dictator
ships here merely hope that
THEY will someday be one of
the favored few And when thev
try to convert the people they
are not sincere, the way YOU |
think. They are sincere about
the blessings they talk of FOR
THEMSELVES. For the folks
they talk towel WHO IS GO

THINGS to make everybody |
wealthy? YOU of course inso-
far as it can be done. No one
country can be wealthy from
top to bottom and in a dicator- |

and generally ends there.
