Army Infantry sergeant 10 eoiie-
times enough to convince man
that the bayonet is better suited to
slicing roast beef medium rare
please" than the enemy, and KHAKI
lis a sounder color for dress clothes
than it is for uniforms. Let man
spend q few years in the Infantry
and he is likely to be 50 peace Loving
that the only gesture ne Will make
when q ruffian fells his (the In
fantryman's) wife with a hook to
the chin, will be to spread his cloak
on the sidewalk in order that his
wife will have q tidy place to land
But Russia doesn't want peace.
Gusev Made 1t Evident.
This never was more evident than
in the recent United Nations ad-
dress of Fedor T. Gusev, Deputy
Foreign Minister Of the Soviet
Union. Speaking, I presume, with
the blessing of the Kremlin, Com
rade Gusev attacked what he con-
sidered the e1travagant monetary
waste of the United Nations.
He said the 1s47 budget Of $685.
000, 600 was crazy: that $1,000 600
would be enough. He gave the
Co-ordinating Department" Of the
United Nations q smart slap across
the face.
In substance, he said there were
too many clerks, too many typists,
too many hired hands Of all sorts,
too many people who drew salaries
and nothing else, and too many
mimeograph machines and radios.
In saying that, Comrsde dusev
struck at the very foundation o6
this country's Government. The
keystone of our Government is
waste. Eliminate the waste, and
you do away with patronage. Elimi-
nate patronage, and you do away
with political bosses. Do away with
political bosses, and you do away
with political parties. Do away
with political parties. and-heck
the country is dead and buried or
worse, turned back to the people
the voters, the taxpayers, the men
and women and youngsters who
make 1t up.
Oh, Comrade Gusev, you are tun-
nellmg inside the very heart Of the
United States Of America, where
every man has O thought, and q
vote to back it up. The keystone
of Washington-the thing that
holds up the Washington Monu-
ment, that preserves the balance OF
Lincoln on his chair, the cement
that holds together the Jefferson
Msincrial-rts money, more money,
and still more money. .r4, ),
why Only One Billion?
Our leaders, our statesmen, feel
that it is foolish to use only o
billion dollars when two billion Will
serve the purpose. They feel that
to. let a clerk do the work OF one
when two can. do 1t In twice the
time. Is wasting our great natural
resources. What would United
States taxpayers do II they couldn't
20 to sleep at night knowing that
the gold they had earned during the
day was to be expended with
gracious, lavish, Cyrano sort d
hand? They would toss the fret
that's what they would do.
Americans like to wake up broke
They don't want to think that they
will ever be burdened with the prob
lem of owning their own homes, OF
having enough laid aside to take
care of their kids education, or
madness of madness-enough extrs
to ease up just bit, relax, and
enjoy themselves.
Comrads Gusev, your speech hur1
this country. Go on back to Rus
sia, that strange, weird land where
man is supposed to do q days wori
for his living. and not have q pait
assistant to stand by him while HI
works and say, Mice work YOU'RE
doing, chum. Wake me up wher
you're finished and we'll 60 get
paid"
