THE BIG BATTLE LINEUP

This concerns (and ought to inter
est liberals, progressives, pinks, reds,
radicals or what have we? And the
Battle of Armageddon into which we
are maneuvering. Those increasingly
persistent eruptions we hear over the
earth are just the preliminary warm
ing up. The atomic cannonading from
the sky will come later.
| AS battle-plans are now being drawn
there the one-purpOsed objective of a
Consolidated Monopoly Combine (by
proxy on one side and the Divided

Just to console the fearful and faint
hearted it may be stated that those
too-bright colors would all bleach out
to a colorless white if half the human
justice that has been promised in sew
eral thousand years was realized.
From the standpoint of self-interest
(the only kind there is just now the
CMCs are as wise as serpants (and
gluttonous as buzzards) while the
DSRs, etc. act like flock of fool-hens
in a hail storm. The former accept,
with palpitating hearts, into their fold
any re-canting ranting renegade who
will agree to use the smear-brush Con
his former associates) with one hand
and white-wash brush Con his former
enemies) with the other. The CMCs
draw no race-creed or clear-conscience
line. The welcome mat is out to any
turn-coat on the sole condition that
he'll agree to spew when the CMCs
gag. But the DSSLPs are not so gen.
erous. They will have no taints, tints
or things among them. When the for
mer heaves they hove.
The CMCs are hard-boiled realists,
not droopy-eyed dreamers. They want
to win the Big Battle and they know
that more depends upon the division
and confusion of the DRSs than on
their own pin-point precision bombing
Thus they strive land succeed quite
well, thanks to u.s. to create division
and confusion by chattering, with one
side of the mouth, about freedom

rob the earth and all that's on it,
