Plea For A Return


nit Society, and perhaps of Commu
nism.)
The attempt by Russians to convert
by argument, other Europeans to thell
political religion is no more an ac1
of aggression against us than the pre-
sence of Seventh Day Adventist Mis-
sionaries in Borneo, or American Mis-
sionaries in China, Brazil, Africa, is
an act of aggression on our part.
Communism is also political or
economic science. There is an appeal
in it to scientific minds. 1t is the
maturity of Socialism. j. B. S. Hal
dane, Albert Einstein are the two
leading scientists in the world. Hal
dane is an avowed Communist. Elm
stein, some years ago, was Social
list. He now says, ''Only the election
of Henry Wallace can save America
from war" Our technocrats of 10
years ago were scientific Communists
under a new name.
Symptoms
Lunatics sometimes, but not often,
know themselves to be insane. The
intelligent frequently recognize early
tendencies in themselves, but lose
power of self analysis.
We profess to believe in democ-
racy, but the world over we are
fighting for the reverse.
In China we have been actually
fighting against reform, betterment of
rule, since We day. 1t is a quality
of insanity to pursue a course that
the patient knows to be error. Cen
eral Marshall went to China; investi- |
gated; was disguised with the corrup- |
ton of Chiang's crowd: said he could |
not help China; returns. and now |
tells congress to give Chiang's China |
$40 million dollars. Is that rational? /
think that money is merely going /
into the pockets of the Soong family.
Not one American taxpayer in mil
lion is as rich as the SOong family.
Why tax me for them?
A lunatic pursues a course after ex-
pertinent shows its futility. We claim
to be a republic Republics do not
have kings. Republics do not execute
wOrkmen for striking. Last year we
sent 300 million dollars to support a
little king in Athens where a law eX-
listed for hanging men for striking for
higher wages Later it was discov-
cred that rs million dollars of goods
previously sent by UNRRA were rot
ting in Salonika-kept off the market
by some monopolistic merchants. And
after a years fighting with our Off
GERS and munitions. seven-eighths of
Greece is still in the hands of the
guerrillas. Is it rational to send $40
million dollars again this year?
The Greeks have a deep hatred for
Il, u, - /
Turks, and vice versa Is it rational
to try to support both at the same
time? A sane man does not try to sit
On two chairs at once.
Who won the war with Japan? The
only concern of the Jap Coolie is rice.
It is costing us 600 million dollars
a year to keep the Coolie in rice
Who won the war with Germany?
It is costing us 500 million dollars the
year to support American and British
Germany
Who won the war with Italy? Italy
did. We propose to take Trieste, an
open port, from our gallant allies, the
and donate it as an cleo
ton bride to our enemy, Italy. Italy
has cost us 200 million dollars the
year since We day.
Next after Hitler, the most hated
man in Europe, was Franco. We are
now seeking an alliance with that
fiend; considering sending him money
to increase his army by 100000.
The Arabs are poIygamists, bar
barians. Palestine was waste in
1912. Civilized Jewish refugees
were encouraged to settle there.
They have, by hard work, irrigation,
agronomy, made it a garden spot.
For Arabian oil, we are betrayine
them. Ibn Saud has go sons. Should
we back Arabs against Jews? 1t is
not rational.
We would not need any oil if our
Army and Navy were not wasting so
much.
One-half our liberties come from the
Franch Revolution. The estimate of
hose killed in that Revolution is 200,-
100. CZechoslovakia has twice the
of France of 1889 So far,
he revolution in Czechoslovakia
hows one man dead from jumping
rom window.
Is it sane for our press to say that
he recent revolution in Prague does
