The Inside of the Cup
To the Editor Of The star:
Two thousand years ago a great Teacher
proclaimed woe upon those who appeared
beautiful outwardly but who were full Of dead
mems bones within He likened them to a
cup with clean exterior but foul interior.
Would this same Teacher see a similarity
in viewing the Capital City of our Nation to-
day? Would He look beyond the beauty OF
parks and buildings to note the moral decay
and ugliness?
Inside the cup what do we have? A city
flooded with liquor, carrying crime and de-
bauchery on its crest. A city where noble
members of the police force risk their lives to
apprehend criminals only to find them re-
leased without penalty. city where murder
and rape are frequent occurrences, where jus
tice is delayed and where legal technicalities
and the emotions of sob sister" juries decide
grave issues. And now we find man on
vacation" Hospitality is allowed to tank up"
and cruise around until he procures an inno-
cent and helpless victim.
We have a beautiful city indeed, but when
will it be safe for respectable women to walk
on its streets? DR. GEORGE w. POPE.
The Threat of World Communism
To the Editor of The Star:
Seven hundred years ago man almost con-
ouered the earth He made himself master OF
half the known world, and inspired mankind
with fear that lasted for generations.
During his lifetime he was given many
names. among which was "The Scourge OF
God" "The Perfect Warrior" "The Mighty
Manslayer" and many others. To the present
world he is best known as Genghis Khan
We Americans have been taught the roster
of the great warriors that begin with Alexander
OF Macedon down through the Caesars, ending
with Napoleon Bonaparte, but Genghis Khan
was conqueror of more gigantic stature than
all the other generals Of history combined.
Genghis Khan, . nomad chieftain who
emerged from the Cobb Desert, waged war
upon the civilized peoples of the earth and was
victorious When he marched with his hordes,
it was over degrees Of latitude and longitude,
instead Of miles; cities in his path were oblit-
Grated; rivers were diverted from their courses;
deserts were filled with fleeing and dying peo-
pie and when he had passed wolves and ravens
often were the sole living things remaining.
We must turn back to the 18th century for
a realization OF what this meant. We flnd the
Mohammedans convinced that such an up
heaval of earthly things could be caused only
by supernatural visitation. and CONSERVATION
filled all Christendom. a generation after the
death of Genghis Khan, when the terrible
Mongol horsemen were riding over Western
Europe, when Boeslas of Poland and Bella Of
Hungary fed from the stricken fields, and
Henry, Duke of Silesia, died under the Mongol
arrows with his Teutonic knights at Liegnitz,
sharing the fate of the Grand Duke of Russia.
Frederick II of Germany wrote Henry Ill OF
England that the Tartars must be no less than
the punishment of God, visited upon Christen-
dom for its sins. Roger Bacon expressed his
opinion that the Mongols were soldiers OF anti
Christ, come to reap the last, dreadful harvest.
This belief was strengthened by . curious
prophecy attributed by mistake to Saint
Jerome. that in the day of anti-Christ a race
of Turks" would emerge from the lands be-
hind the mountains Of ASIA and would cause
universal disaster.
Genghis Khan Reincarnated?
Many thousands of people of the world be-
leve in reincarnation. Can 1t be that Stain
has emerged as the present Genghis Khan and
comes to us as kind Of incarnation Of bar
barrie power-as q scourge to destroy decadent
civilization?
Does all Of this mean that Stain, with all
OF the military might of Soviet Russia, intends
to force war upon the United States? The
answer is: We are at war with the Soviet
Union right now; we have been at war for
months. For u.s. 50 far, 1t has not been a
shooting war.
The cold war" itself is being waged with
;rlo IL md ,da
weapons If the United States loses this So
called cold war;" shooting war between the
Soviet Union, her satellites and the United
States is certain to follow.
What are the Soviet leaders trying to do?
Stain and his leutenants are plotting to rule
the people of the world from the Kremlin
Under Kremlin rule, communism would be
forced upon l46000,O0o citizens OF the United
States.
In every country of the world fifth columns
are using every means in their power for
eventual Communist dictatorship-by propa-
ganda, by economic sabotage by dividing into
theological groups and classes of the people, as
we'll as by creating despair and confusion
Communists are opportunists. They are very
quick to see and take advantage of every Sit
uation and method that will further the in
terests Of the Kremlin. In Poland the Red
Army occupied the country, therefore they
were able to take over and put their fifth
column in power, while in France Communist
leaders have used every means in their power
to destroy French patriotism-by propaganda
attacks on the French government strikes
sabotage, brutal attacks on nonstriking and
noncommunistc workers.
The writer wonders how soon the leaders of
our National Government will get next to
themselves and tell Joe Stain and his un-
derlings Of the Kremlin that the United States
will no longer tolerate being kicked around In
Germany. FRANK s. FLYNN
