But I have fought and shall con

/ fight the Truman doctrine and the
Marshall plan as applied because they
divide Europe into two warning camps.
Those whom we buy politically with
our food will soon desert us. They
will pay us in the base coin of tenn
porary gratitude and then turn to hate
us because our policies are destroying
their freedom.
NAME-CALLING ANTICIPATED F. I.
We are restoring Western Europe
and Germany through United States
agencies rather than United Nations
agencies because we want to hem
Russia in. We are acting in the same
way as France and England after the
last war and the end result will be
the same-confusion, DEPRESSION and
war.
1t just doesn't need to happen. The
cost of organizing for peace, prosper
ity and progress is infinitely less than
the organizing for war.
We who believe this will be called
Russian tools" and Communists"
but let the fear mongers not distort
and becloud the issues by name call
ing. We are not for Russia and we
are not for Communism, but we rec
ognize Hitherto methods when we see
them in our own land and we de-
nounce the men who engage in such
name calling as enemies of the human
race who would rather have World
War III than put forth a genuine effort
to bring about a peaceful settlement
of differences.
MESSAGE TO RUSSIA -.
One thing | want to make clear
peace requires real understanding
between our peoples. Russia has as
much to gain from peace as the United
States and just as we here fight
against the spreaders of hate and
faIsehood against Russia, the Russian
leaders can make q great contribu-
ton by restraining those extremists
who try to widen the gap between our
two great countries.
I insist that the United States will |
not be fully secure until there is real
peace between this country and Rus |
STA and until there is an international |
?olice force stronger than the mill
.ary establishment of any nation in
Guiding Russia and the United States.
am utterly against any kind OF inn
)erialism or expansionism whether
sponsored by Britain, Russia or the
United States and l call on Russia
Is well as the United States to look
1t all our differences effectively and |
rec from that prejudice which the
late mongers have engendered on
10Th sides. What the world needs is
UN disarmament conference to rid
humanity for all time of the threat,
lot only of atomic bombs, but also
f all other methods of mass destruc-
ion.
.MERICANISM ENDANGERED

lmericanism I was taught to respect
I the public schools of Iowa half a
entury ago. That Americanism was
etrayed after World War One by /
Orces which found their origin in
monopoly capitalism, yellow journal 1
SIN and racial bigotry. Today there
J a greater menace than ever before
"a menace more serious than has
yer confronted the human race.
That menace can be met and over
