WASHINGTON STUMBLES AROUND
BLINDED BY THE LIGHTS

vised 70 years ago go to Luxembourg
or Athens and grow up with the
graft!
All our foreign policy springs from
the belief that we had a unique
weapon, the atom bomb. In spite
of Einstein's advice to the contrary,
we thought there were no scientists
in Russia that could make one. Elm
stein said he knew of two. Russian
artillery has been superior to ours
for % years. Our Brass Hats have
never found the secret.
The plain people can be prosper
Gus under almost any kind of gov
eminent if honest men run 1T.
Sweden is a Monarchy. The Swedes
are prosperous and unafraid of their
giant neighbor, the Soviet Union.
Ireland is a Republic. She has no
army, or navy. She is in a four
hours flight from Leningrad. The
Irish are prosperous and unafraid of
Russia. Poland, Hungry, Czecho-
slovakia are Communist. In a few
years these nations have achieved
prosperity that they have never
known before. Perhaps the secret
why these five examples under such
varied forms of government are pros
porous and unafraid is that they at
tend to their own business. They
are not sending their men or money
to Greece, Turkey or Luxembourg.
A a%YN
of gloom. We strain to win an arm
ament race against nation with an
theology that needs and desires
peace. All our big minds know this.
Russia would disarm tomorrow if we
would disarm.
Our troubles arise from our disre-
gard of rule of government of our
founding fathers. The military has
become insubordinate, even superior,
to the civil authority. The eco
nomic royalists' run both civil and
military. We fight ideas harder in
The courts than dishonesty or theft
Or actual treason. Cong. Thomas
vas chairman of the un-American
that lifted 13 show
,olks from Los Angeles and punished
hem with one years Imprisonment |
md $4,000 fines. Thomas himself |
las been under indictment since Feb |
'uary for larceny from the federal |
reasury. Why has he not been
ried? Is Tom Clark's elevation to
he supreme court partly explained |
" the delay his office has permitted |
he government, as now organized,
# the prosecution of Thomas? Is
fraid that jury would find Thomas
utility?
Is the strike of the Steel Work
ers because Big Steel will not obey
the orders of the National Rela-
tons Board? If SO, which side is
subversive.
We have spent $33 billion in pre-
ense that we are containing Com
1unism, but really to sustain the
markets for our makers of airplanes
nd other munitions, and to keep our
'rass Hats in luxury at home, and
haunting their gaudy raimant in the
,orld's angry face. We have used
ne Marshal plan to destroy factory
wners in Britain, France, Italy, to
lake customers there, buy our pro-
ucts in preference to those made at
ONE.
The Appenine water powers that
