tween them guarantees world peace
Lack of friendship between them
means the end of the hopes of all
men for peace and security.
The Vandenberg foreign policy, and
it has been the vandenberg policy for
the last year, is the "get tough policy
For a reason beyond my. understand
ing this bullys concept of statesman
ship has appealed to the American
people. l have never thought of the
people of my country as people ap
proving of DULLES.
Our propaganda press tells us we
must get tough with Russia. About
what? What principles do we stand on
in International affairs? In two short
years we have, in partnership with
British imperialism, made a mockery
of the great ideals of the Atlantic
Charter which became the charter of
the United Nations. Let us be firm
in defense of principle, but first let
us declare and UPHOLD our prin-
ciples.
"The Big Lie" Once Again
In Action
The peace we want depends on unity
and friendship but this get tough
policy is not one which makes friends.
It is not intended to make friends. 1t
is based on another strategy borrowed
from Adolf Hitler, and it is intended
70 oh oh
fight as the Czechs and the Poles did,
then we will yell that we have been
attacked and that we must wipe a
great nation from the face of the
earth in self defense
Russia is our rival in power and as
such she stands between the mono
polists and the conquest and exploita-
ton of the whole world. Russia is the
opposition which must be liquidated.
This is the unholy bill of goods the
majority of the American press has
been so busy selling the Americans.
While we are in the mood to ask
ourselves questions, let us ask our
selves where we are heading. Are we
to become moral lepers to make few
men who are already far too rich
richer? The conquest and exploitation
of the world requires that the ex-
ploiters provide a police force to keep
the vanquished PROSTATE. This will be
the job, the future of American boys.
And in the end, all moral considera-
tions aside, it won't work. there just
aren't enough American boys. But
having sown the seed of hate upon
the face of the earth, we like the Ger
man people will reap the harvest.
Our Birthright For Bar of Soap
If we have bought our own and our
children's destruction and eternal
shame, why did we do it? Did we do it
for bar of soap, pair of nylon
stockings? 1t would be bitter irony,
indeed if so much were lost for such
trivialities.
l don't believe mankind has chosen
death and destruction for any trivial
reason. | believe the truth lies in a
defect in human nature which is pres
ent in those who voted for life and
peace on November 9Th, as we'll as in
those who voted for the cake of soap.
This defect is prejudice. In the pre-
JUDGES of man lies the seed-bed of |
discord; i is here that the demogo-
CUES, the greedy prophets of hate, sow
the seed of disunity and it is disunity
which spells disaster for man.
The American people, despite a rich
heritage of freedom and principle,
have gone on, generation after gen
GRAFTON, nourishing prejudice Pre-
JUDGE is not something which can be
by others; it must be cor
rected by the individual in consulta-
ton with his own conscience. This, we
have not done. We have, each one,
blindly prepared the seed-bed for the
coming of the sower.
Seeds of Greatness Go Unsprouted
During the 1916 campaign some cam
didates talked of the dream of demo-
crazy, the dream of world unity and
peace, the dream of the vast potential
in people and in physical resources, II
the dream of building better world
for allpeople. These candidates broad
cast the seed of greatness but these
seeds are tender seeds which need
sweet soil to work in and the soil of
prejudice is acid and sour.
Other candidates spoke of hate and
fear, spoke petty manufactured SLAM
der, assassinated character, appealed
in every way to individual selfishness.
These seeds fell upon the soil of pre-
JUDGE and sprouted. The harvest is in.
What now? Where is our hope of
second chance to choose to be a great
people,.
America has always, in the past Z
been saved in her extremities by great
men, great leaders. Tom Paine who

lincoln who fought the same battle,
Who held aloft the torch to light mans &

So it seems our only hope of sec Z,
