Americans have been swindled
out of their sense by Adolf HIT
ler's propaganda and therefore
cast about for some one else to
blame for every tragedy and In
convenience that befalls the
American people and for the
economic change, whatever form
it may take, which will surely be
the result of all our spending In
the fight against him.
President Roosevelt didn't
start this war, but tried to talk
Hitler out of his plain determine
tion to start IL.
The British and French hui
inflated themselves repeatedly
in their efforts 10 placate Hitler
and induce him TO be nice.
Wendell Willkie had no part
I'm making the war.
NOBODY but Hitler and Stain
~ wanted the war and Hitler
was the one who was determined
TO have il and touched IL off as
soon as he got Stains permits
sion.
Hitler had proclaimed his In
tention TO establish the Germans
as a super-race of warriors and
bosses who would live ever after
on the toll of inferior peoples.
The money he expended on the
creation of the military machine
which now serves him would
have made Germany the most
comfortable country on earth
and. in the material sense, the
most enviable.
Yet there are Americans who
blame the Treaty of Versailles.
the Preparations bill, the British
and French. the President of the
United States. the impotent.
degraded, prosecuted. destitute
Jews and, some of them. even
some mysterious spots on the
sun, rather than recognize the
plain. unacceptable fact that this
war is just another rampage of
an anti-social nation which has
kept the entire world in almost
constant turmoil for more than
u years.
THE Treaty OF Versailles wss
l. the best peace that .the en-
! powered leaders OF the victori-
OTIS nations could devise by
agreement and the documents
worst fault was its mistaken
generosity 10 a vicious marauder
whose own intention in the
event of victory was 10 enslave
Belgium and Holland. take over
northern France under politi-
cal protectorate and push over
into Russia and down the Bal
kans according 10 a plan now
revived and executed by Hitler.
The Germans paid no rcpara-
tons worth the mention. but
stole incalculable amounts OF
\ foreign money invested in the
country in good faith Of the
faulty assumption that the Ger
man veneer Of civilization and
manners indicated reasonably
honest character.
TIVE damage for what ythe
Il Germans were asked TO pay
but never did pay, wasn't all
military wear and tear.
\ They had looted wherever
they went and any machinery
they couldn't ship home as loov
from the factories OF conquered
countries. they wantbnly de-
stroyed so that France. for ex-
ample. would be unable 10 get
started again if France should
win.
Certainly the British perse-
cuted the Irish ard all the ma
tons who staked/ out claims in
Africa, maitreated the natives.
and certainly the United States
double-crossed. deported and. in
all possible ways. disgraced the
white race in all our dealings
with the native American In
dams who. by all rights, owned
the country.
But IL the British must expiate
or undo their prosecutions OF the
Irish and all the wrongs against
the African savage must be
righted before we may today
recognize the atrocious peril OF
Adolf Hitler then also we ought
10 give every inch of this country
back TO the Indians complete
with all modern improvements
erected on land that wasn't ours
and accept such status as the
few remaining authentic Indians
care 10 grant us out of the good
ness Of their forgiving hearts.
