Is the Final Pattern Emereing?

There two questions of supremely vital Importance
posed for the American people by the Presidents demand that
the United States contribute 100000 Greece
and Turkey One of these questions how much of these
funds to be used to relieve human suffering The other is
what justification exists in taking unateral action issues
that properly should be referred to the Security Council of the
United Nations.
Hard appraisal of the contents of the Presidents
speech must the clear that the object
of the funds for which he asks bolster the fascist
arca and grating regime of the present government
against the h tne same tCe people VINO Iough oeo ana
died. opposing the German nazi hordes the little
pie who have been given representation in the governments
only government which has mishandled the affairs of
the country that is weaker than the end of the
despite the pouring in of S700O00000 of UNRRA funds plus
British military ad which has brought
ton to the of the little people of Greece while the
privileged groups represented in the government have lived
luxury and lined their budgng pockebooks at the expense of
the nations contributing to the UNRRA
We venture say that there is single American who
would hesitate to give approval to appropriation for the
relief of the Grecan people, but certainly informed think
ing American will draw the line boserng the present un
representative governments strength to suppress the masses
of Grecian peoples who demanding truly
sentative government
Analysis of the Presidents speech dcose it full of hypo-
First he that there time action
through the United Nations The key in this organza
ton in session in Moscow.
He stated that if the United States extends assistance to
Greece and Turkey it will be frank admission that ota
tartan regimes imposed free peoples by direct indirect
aggression undermine the foundations of international
and hence the security of the u. s.
Analysis of this statement must lead to the conclusion that
the United States dfferentaes between toaaransms that
there must be totataransms but bad toaaran
ISM We remember distinctly and in fact in his speech he
referred to them that objected renuous
the kind of otataansm that the results of the elections in
Poland Romania and Bulgaria provided these totaaran
coming within the orbit of Soviet influence Hence they
bad.
Reasoning from the premise must assume that
the United States does not look with dfavor such total
regimes those in SPAIN Argentina in Turkey
and the unrepresentae of Greece representing
nothing but the feudastc privileged groups and the
tocracy.
These statements made concerning the government
made information from prejud-
of Communism Immediately following the peb-
September Robert Conway of the New York Daily
and Seymour Fredn of the New York Herald Tribune
trip through Greece and reported widespread
ornamental corruption the suppression of the most basic
civil liberties and the tragic misuse of American relief
political weapon by officials against opponents"
Just what is this emergency facing?
many of the American people it must this: That
propose to not only maintain the status quo
country but that to bolster failing capitaistc
all of the countries adjacent to the Soviet Union
maintain in all of those countries at matter what cost to
power of exploiting classes while rendering
pharsaca lip service to the rights of peoples for
ment of their choosing
In apprasng the of the proposal of the President
let American forget that the final this of
politics which to be embarkng the life of
American youth Do you think it's worth it?
