themselves, the peace of the world demands
they return to the cid, grim business of finish
ing the enemy-Germany. . That enemy has
not only twice attacked-but twice double
crossed EACH of the Allies. Yet both blocs
are in an out-and-out horse race to make the
Germans their wives.
Haven't the ruins of Coventry. the torture
of Stalingrad and the graves OF Normandy
proven that a Nazi with a hand grenade and
a bayonet is as trustworthy a pal as John
Dillinger with a tommy gun?
The Nazi underground cells which Hitler
placed throughout the world Gncludlng the
United States are twitching like a snake
without a head. The body of Nazism Is still
very much alive.
Why does Molotov think the great leglons
of the Russian Army died before Moscow!
To protect the Romaaian Iron Guard and the
Ukrainian traitors? . Why does Bevln think
the magnificent Royal Navy covered the floor
of the Arctic seas with its sailors? To pro-
tect fascist Sir Oswald Moseley? . . Why
does Byrnes think Bradley, Hodges and Pat
ton left American dead from Casablanca to
the Rhine? To protect Fritz Kuhn, the I'm
tried 26 alleged seditioaists and Joe Newt
liams?
Be'ore they replace the fangs of the Nazi
serpent, won't Molotov, Bevin and Byrnes
please realize--for the sake of the generation
of 1955-that there is no such thing as a pet
cobra or a reformed NaZl?
The world is running a fever while dlplo-
mats squat on their brains and behave as
though they are wondering what is holding
up the undertaken. After swapping head
locks in Paris, the boys In the zebra-style
britches are ready for another tangle In New
York. Ironically enough, the outlook for the
Allies was all peaches and cream until the
power p~oliticos disguised as peace Makers
commenced graphing for larger chunks of
real estate.
Listen! That sound you hear is the dove
scampering toward the nearest foxhole. E.
The spree of strong-arm diplomacy can only
send this battered planet reeling toward an
other war. When leaders of nations trans
form confabs into night club braWls it usually
is most harmful to the drunk involved. E.
Just look a the gleeful smiles (f their mutu-
al foes) goading them into another struggle.
|. And only a few days ago Goering and
company proved what the payoff was for in
ternational rough-housing.
The deplorable squabbling Of the former Al
lies verges on insanity. Any third-rate idiot
can see their i~ncessant h~aggling has already
done much TO strengthen those who despite
them. Franco and Peron were never more
powerful. Today their griny paws have as
tigAt a grip on their nations larynx as they
had when Hitler and Mussolini were the
worlds leading bully-boys. The Russkys are
eager to assure Americans that peace is their
honey chile. .Okay, let the leaders of Russia
start convincing us by disowaing and con-
demning our native communists. DO that
pronto, Joe, because your fair-haired bores
here are doing SO much to hamper Russo
American relations you'd think they were all
named Molotov.
Save a shudder for the syrupy attitude
toward Maitland. While Americas economy is
totteriNg on the brink of initiation. we are
supplying coolies of coin to patch up Germa-
ny's economic machinery. And when Ameri-
cans are hawking apples on street corners
We doubt if it will comfort them to realize
we saved Germany from a depression.
Yezzir. There was a free election in Berlin
this week, but we'll save our whoops until
he same free elections are held in Dixie.
The latest binge by reactionaries should
give intelligent Americans the Willies. Hell,
We wouldn't mind If the communist boo forced
communists alone to walk the plank. But
dictionaries toss the red flag at anybody
who dlsagrees with them-anybody. And
that includes liberals, conservatives and Re-
publcrats. When reaction comes through
the door democracy flies out the window.
Reactionaries shrek about fighting commu-
nlsts as camouflage for Disgusting their own
brand of ~fascisnl, which is what they called
1t in Germany. . Over here it is Ham
Fishism.
The Daily Worker is the local communist
rag that Is fond of wrapping itself in the
lag and posing as a patriotic American. But
there IS one fact it never mentions out loud.
That fact completely destroys its patriotic
pretease. During the war the Daily Worker
registered with the State Dept. as a foreign
agent!
Things are popping on the subversive front.
The democracy-defiers have never been more
brazen. Incompetence and downright ~indiffer-
ence by our law and order brigades have
made 1t simple for them to secure beach
heads on street corners. All of Goebbels'
frothing didn't do as much to spark the re-
surgence of the anti-American gangs as did
the feeble decisions of the justice dispensers
and the U. S. Supreme Court. Are they
trying to trick gullibles into believing our
commufascism plague isn't anything to fret
about
