with DeGauIe, fight Russia, fight
somebody-a drunken loser goes ber-
serk.
We have done some things of which
the enlightened opinion of the World
does not approve. Our self-praise in
our own Press has blinded our people.
To let them see, one must mention
acts of ours that are against rules of
conduct beyond dispute.
"Thou Shalt Do No Murder"
Our Atomic Bomb at Hiroshima can
be justified. 1t ended the war-saved
human life. Our bomb at Nagasaki
was plain, every day murder of 100000
non-combatant men, women and chill
dren = outside the rules of civilized
warfare-whateve that term means.
Poison gas is admitted to be beyond
the Pale the chief terror of the
Atomic Bomb is the poison gas gen.
Grated after the explosion. Strange
to say, the people killed at Nagasaki
were largely converts to Christianity.
Thus ended, for all the intelligentsia
of 1 billion Orientals, the myth that
Americans practice what our mission
aries preach. Hereafter, the funds
fondly sent to sustain our mission
aries in Asia may better be devoted
to slum- clearance in New Orleans, or
research for a cancer cure.
"The King Is Dead, Long Live
the King"
We are taking over the world hege-
mony of the defunct British empire.
The executor of that dead concern is
Winston Churchill. He has more in
fluence in Washington than in Lon
don. The Labor government in Eng
land knows some costly mistakes
made in the last 100 years by Britain,
and is avoiding them for the future.
1t realizes that democracy is rising in
the world; that oligarchy and royalty
are on the way out. For $50 years
royalty in England is the carving on
the vessels PROV = has no part in
guiding the ship. The same is true
in Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
We have Turkey in our budget, and
Greece, for 800 years, enemy OF Tur-
key, on our hands; all incompatible.
After spending 800 to 600 million
in Greece to arm a little king and a

taineers, who fought Hitler, and our
former enemies, the Italians, we
find "a of Greece still in the hands
of what our press calls Guerilas,
but men probably motivated by
democratic principles. Communism

their prices, they hid rs million dol
lars worth of our food at SaIonlka
until it rotted. The government we
support in Greece executes work
men who strike for better wages.
Turkey is an Oriental despotism
yet, in spite of adopting the Latin
alphabet, unwilling the women, and
few modern changes. 1t is probable
that the rulers of Turkey fear the
surge of a liberation movement in
Turkey more than they do Russia
Our military aid to Turkey is probably
used to keep Turks enslaved.
There are more Turks in Russia {
than in Turkey. In the event of war,
the Turks in Turkey would soon join t
