the United States, are everything
that is vicious, everything that
stands against freedom. Walls in
Paris are plastered with posters
containing the most libelous state
ments. Handbills are being circu-
lated in unlimited quantities tell
ing fantastic lies. Moscow knows
that if France does not fall under
communist domination soon it's
battle for Europe is temporarily
lost, so she is withholding nothing
in her effort to discredit the
United States. The swing away
from Moscow in the recent munich
pal elections, in spite of the force
and the viciousness displayed by
the communists, has given fresh
evidence of the true desires of the
French people.
The Ramadier Cover m e n
showed great courage last spring
when they refused any longer to
tolerate communists in their midst.
The working people have shown
new courage in these elections, for
it was in industrial areas the gains
were made. This new spirit can
grow rapidly but it needs encour-
agement and hope. If these ele-
ments of sanity are to hold the
line they must be assured of food
which in France is spelled BREAD.
Italy too evidences a new spirit
reflected both in the election re-
suits and in the readily visible at
titude of the people. They are
working and with determination to
rebuild Italy. 1t is moment when
little practical help can bring
results, a moment we must not
miss.
The fact that a special session
of our Congress was called gave
very definite lift to France and
Italy both, and may we'll have in
fluenced many in the recent vote.
'Interim help" is of the utmost
Importance. Being a woman l find
myself wishing we could work out
way to give it outright to both
France and Italy in recognition of
the effort they are truly making
to withstand the advance Of COM
munist Moscow. Then we could
work out the longer range recovery
program that will give all Eu.
ropean countries the lift they neeo
to get back on their feet, with
greater freedom, knowing that
with this immediate "interim help"
France and Italy can hold the line
until the spring. l suppose free
gift will have little if any consid-
Grafton but immediate help is i'm
perative if Russia's determination
to subdue France, and Italy as
we'll, is to be thwarted. Surely it
is little enough to do in an effort
to prevent the advance of the
Power of the Kremlin to the east
ern shores of the Atlantic while it
can still be prevented.
Yes-I am glad to be back for
there is so much work to be done
if our civilization is to be con-
tinued.
