formed an alliance, with standardiza.
ton of weapons and equipment, in.
volving all the countries of South
America? Yet the Soviet Union is
in just such position in respect to
American arms. 1t is not designed
to produce peace of mind.
The Administration foreign and
domestic policy is the policy of
the monopolists. This is basically
true no matter what surface differ
ences of greater or lesser Importance
exist. Here, for instance are some
of the men who have surrounded
President Truman, or who surround
him now. The list would have been
very similar had Dewey been elected.
A "WHO'S WHO" OF BIG
BUSINESSMEN
James Forrestal, former Secre-
tary of Defense, head of the banking
firm of Dillon, Read & Co.
Robert A. Lovett, former Under
secretary of State. Former partner,
Brown Brothers, Hartman & Co.
John Snyder, Secretary of the
Treasury, former vice president of
the First National Bank of ST. Louis.
Major General William H. Draper,
Assistant Secretary of War; former
vice president of Dillon, Read & Co.
Arthur S. Barrows, Undersecre-
tary of the Air Force, former presi-
dent of Sears, Roebuck & Co. CAS-
the import-export chief in the COM
bined U.S.-British occupation zone
of Germany, Barrows tried to liquid
ate Germany's "small, inefficient in
and concentrate all pro-
duction in 'large, efficient" plants,
that is, plants belonging to the very
industrialists who financed Hitler's
road to power.)
Lewis w. Douglas, Ambassador to
Great Britain, president of Mutual
Life Insurance Co.
John J. McCloy, President of the
World Bank, former member of Ora
vath, de Gersdorff, Swaine & Wood,
attorneys for the monster Nazi car
tel of l. G. Farben.
Eugene Black, Executive director
of the World Bank, former vice pres
ident of Rockefeller's Chase National
Bank
Robert Gardner, vice president of
the World Bank, former vice presi-
dent of Morgan's Guaranty Trust Co.
This is partial but typical list.
[ cannot think of any exceptions to
The rule that Wall Street rules Wash
ngton's roost.
We saw the name of one general
IN this list. We have others, the
generals who are above politics, the
generals who represent the nation
Ill the people all the time, the gener-
Ills who never soil their hands with
profit and loss and who have only
he selfless interests of us all at heart.
We have, for instance, Brig. Gen.
;. Saltzman (who happens to be vice
PRESIDENT of the New York Stock Ex-
,hange).
We have, in fact, general for
very monster corporation in Amer
ca, and practically every general ac-
i've in the field today has financial
interests in American monopoly. The |
Secretary of the Air Force, w. S.
'ymington, is president of the En-
rson Electric Manufacturing Corp.
These men are our government,
but not the government we elected.
The men who staff this under
ground government have made
fabulous profits out of the last
war, are making fabulous profits
out of the present uneasy peace,
and hope to make fabulous profits
out of coming conflict.
Wall Street is more than a phrase,
n orators term. 1t is a reality.
Vail Street today is Washington,
Washington is Wall Street.
HE "WHY" OF THE LOYALTY
,RIVE
When we understand this, we under
tand the sordid self-interest that
es beneath the Loyalty drive. If
he monopoly-cartels are to have full
reedom, they must take this free
ON from the people. This is newt
