Truths Pondered While
Riding A. Anchor
MR.. MODESTUS
WATCH RUSSIA
. PLAY THE GAME
. WAITING FOR THE DAY
AFTER HITLER COMES
STAIN
Watch Russia!

Watch Russia!
We are watching Communists, il
America
Many of these are just queer; while
some seem to be perverts-
But, near at hand, they are com
paratively simple problem
Deport Communists, if possible
lmprison, if justified
Ridicule them; destroy their reason
for existence here
By making American living condi
tions what they should be
But Russia: that is something else
X x
All Of Russia's resources
Are under control of the man
Stain
And the clique which he chooses
and organizes
Stain is Of the old school of In
ternational Communists
Who started revolution in Russia
with liquidating Romanoffs-
Whose vision never stopped at Via
divostok, Poland, Finland
Who calmly announced that they
would make any promises
TO acquire power to set the whole
worlds on fire
Whose treaty with Hitler was in
entire agreement with that purpose
Whose playing fast and loose with
Roumania, Bulgaria, Japan
Is planned to promote utmost pos
sible war among capitalist" lands
Who cheers England Ola little
and then closes up
Who promises oil and grain to
Hitler, and don't deliver
X X X
Watch that ruthless, enormous,
spider-web-
Around it's eastern meshes move
Japan, China, Britain
On its tricky western fringes
stumble Germany, Sweden, Turkey
Maintaining listening posts in all
lands, whether civilized or not
Persistent pressing it's mission of
disorganizing this civilization
Using every resource Of science and
mechanics, in all lands
Flouting every ideal, Of democracy,
religion, or ethics
Demanding benefit of all Christian
laws and standards
Repudiating all traditions of estab-
lished social order
Claiming freedom Of speech and
press in democratic lands
While clamping suppression of lib
critics Of utterance on it's own--
This paradox employs hypnosis of
its might and wealth.
Bewildering minds Of simple, we'll
meaning progressives-
To further objectives announced be-
fore Lenin died.
X X
Concentrating
All power and resources into one
hand
Russia learned the weakness Of her
still primitive cultural level
In that fierce baptism Of Finland's
land and people with fire and blood
Stain knows that German discipline
would smash his armies
That British cool leadership would
pierce Russia's heart
If either were facing Russia in full
power
But Germany, blockaded for years;
Britain, bled white by bombing
VIII later have little left to face
the Russian menace
SO Russia, louting democracy,
keeps England guessing
Russia, itself totalitarian, plays a
game with EIitler's boys
Moves pawns in Balkans, Middle
East, on Pacific borders
Feverishly preparing the while, for
a Soviet role in the great play
Which cannot be effective, 50 long
as rivals are still strong
X X X
Russia has men, by the million
Also metals, from gold and platinum
to IRON
Food, in grains and meat, and oils,
are abundant there
But Russia's will is, as yet, the will
Of only one man
The mind Of Rusaia'a vast popu-
is not yet formed
This is the price the world must
pay for Czardom--
Long after the RomanoHs were
buried in quick-lime---
