SUGGESTIONS
from a Soldier
San Diego, CAL, March IL, 1915

Peoples Voice Publishing Co.
Dear Editor:
Just a few lines from soldier one
of the many that wonders what the
score is.
1t appears to me if there is any
hope of keeping the morale of the men
in the service in condition to win
the present war, it must be done with
out so much silly speculation in the
papers, and over the radio, as to the
possibilities of arranging another war
among the United Nations as soon as
this one is over.
From my observation this sort of
talk has a very demoralizing effect
on the many who do not seem to get
the correct meaning from the articles
or comments.
Of course it is not all the fault of
misinterpretation as there is appar-
emily few people who consistently
hate Russia because it has been the
popular thing to do, and others who
would incite hatred and suspicion be-
cause they think the Russian philos-
ophy might spread to, and even en-
gulf all of Western Europe thereby
making it impossible to exploit mil
lions of people and depriving them of
a very good field Of speculation.
I sincerely wish you people at home
in your organizations, be they social
or religious organizations would make
a special effort to destroy any pre-
monition that war with Russia is in
evitable
If you will get Mission to Moscow
by ex-Ambassador Davies (25c at book
stores and newsstands for pocket edi-
tion) and if you have an aversion to
reading and studying the whole book
just read the epilogue and put it be-
fore the group. Mr.. Davies is emphat-
ically not a Communist but he will
show you how utterly ridiculous it
would be for ourselves and Russia to
indulge in war as it would be for
reason of ideals only, as he is sure
Russia has no imperialistic designs,
and we surely know we haven't
When we hear anyone anticipating |
was with Russia let us try to make
them see that at best we could just |
completely destroy civilization, and |
fight a war only because we were |
made to believe it is the proper thing
to do, by those few people who thrive
and profit on human misery and suf-
fering.

Whether Hitler is dead or alive or
just simply disappeared is of little
moment as his policy will continue
just the same. The nazi policy is to
destroy as much of civilization as pos
sible before being brought to bay.
Places over-run by nazi hordes are
systematically being depopulated by
wholesale executions, herded into la
Dor battalions for German exploita-
ton or starved to death, examples
are: Jews, Poles Greeks and the civil
ian population is occupied Russia In
liberated Rzhev, out of a population
Of $1,000 only 447 remained locked up
in a church to starve as the naz1
retreated. While Hitler's campaign
in Russia has been total failure
from military point of view, he can
still muster more men on the Russian
front than Stain is able to produce,
the ratio being about Is or IL million
to 10 millions in his favor. Another
