William c. Bullitt took a prom
inent part in the recent inter

hereditary aristocIat-to be- born
into. He also. was born into lost

Bullitt had as much TO say
about that Inflated Ford uaaen

he turned up as Americas am

That especially adants him 10
today's situation.
Bullitt stands in solid with the
Soviet government. and. all

Churchill unluckily made in his
celebrated broadcast dealing with
POSTWAR relationships.
Bill hints at possibly including
the Axis peoples, too.
What will happen 10 them.
Well, says Bill, the United
States certainly will not insure
or guarantee their slavery. This
Is almost an offer OF liberty to
