Senator B. K. Wheeler:
United States Senate,
. Washington, D. c.
Reply received and read and di
cussed at our local meeting to our lie
ter which condemned your actions fo
plotting and helping plot for Worl
War III in which you blame your az
tions on the communists and someon
not mentioned.
Your isolationist attitude durin
war; and your belief in no attac
from abroad by any enemy proved t
be wrong.
You didn't think we should help t
whip fascism abroad, which you'll
have to admit has already been &C
complished.
You didn't believe in unconditional
surrender of the enemy and preached
for a more lenient peace for them
forgetting that these enemies were on
to demonate the world in the name o
ITO save the world from bolshevism,
which while killing and torturing limo
cent victims who only asked for {
decent world to live in.
You condemn the accomplishments
made at Moscow, Teheran and Yalta
which have already borne fruit.
| You would like to divide the United
Nations by excluding Soviet Russia.
You seem to agree 100 per cent
with what the New York Times prints
and also with your reactionary
Hawkes..
You are against the original" Bret
ton Woods" and "Dumbarton Oaks
plans, for a united world, to prevent
future wars.
You used to speak against interna-
tional bankers, but now you are for
them
You support the fascist Polish gov
eminent in exile. Your actions toward
world and national affairs coincide
with the other reactionaries here and
abroad, and smells of fascism.
We would like to know if you have
ever read the book under Cover" we
recommend it to you.
In answer to your letter in the para
graph as follows: (Quote) For your
information I can say to you, however,
that I am not in favor of fascism and
nazism.
have seen all three of them in OPP
GRAFTON and if you think for one mo-
ment, that communism would be
good thing for this country, you ought
to have to go and live in Russia for
awhile and you would change your
mind about it," END Quote)
I wish to correct you on your ter
ribly uniformed understanding of the
Russian way of life. you speak of So
Wet Russia as a communist state,
while in reality it's a Socialist state,
heading for a communist state in the
future to come.
Under Socialism today it's Every
one according to his ability while COM
is everyone according to his
need.''
You classify Russia a dictatorship
as bad as the nazis. There is die
tatorship in Russia but not the kind
you have in mind 1t is dictatorship
Of the majority. "The workers and
farmers" to the minority the former
rich the kulaks who robbed the poor
peasants of workers during the Gear.
This above named dictatorship van
shes automatically.
You may wonder Mr. Wheeler where |
Ihave read or heard the above facts |
IN Soviet Russia, which you will GER
.ainly class as from some communist |
)aper.
l am sorry Mr.. Wheeler to disap-
Joint you, but I have been to Soviet
russia and saw the Socialist system
It work with my own eyes.
am convinced that you are DELHI
rately trying to lie to the American
,eople in hiding the truth about our
lily Soviet Russia
I am very sorry to disappoint you
mother time but I have an uncle in
lussia, who has been in the logging
amps there for almost 20 years.
Mo- he wasn't born in Russia, he
yas born in Finland, came to America
nd worked in the logging camps in
he statee of Maine for Is years be-
pre- going to Russia.
I asked him how he'd like to come
ack here but he declined. He said
what we haven't got we know we are
ding to get" He said 1--WE have no
Unemployment, good wages, free medi-
al care and no capitalists to profit
rom our labor"
In conclusion Mr.. Wheeler, why are
ou aligned with reactionaries trying
} divide the nations, one against the
Their?
We believe in educating the people
the world on common understand
lg to help prevent future wars. We
elieve in democracy, but not the type
Oh call democracy.
We believe in broadmindedness
We. believe the cooperative system
our only salvation.
Don't forget Mr.. Wheeler that if you t
lcceed in bringing World War III s
)u may be war criminal. AS we
lderstand war criminals, they are: B
mes responsible for betrayal of their
'untry and people. T
Yours truly,
WAYNE MUSTONEN, Sec. t
Lime Creek Local No. 4O8. a
