The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1949-03-18

lies have told me so. The Press has
recently headlined that the Commu-
nists in New York have said that
they would join Russia in event of a
conflict. This seems, as usual, false
headlining. They actually said they
would do all in their power to pre-
vent such war. If they did say
they would join Russia, their stand
is reasonable, just as the Cardinals
is seditious.
We should remember that France
is one of the large empires. In
France, Thorez, the Communist lead
er, recently announced that his party
would join the Soviets against Amer
lea in case of war. 1t is the largest
single party in France, though not
majority.
In Germany we are spending 500
million the year in the air lift to
feed 21a million fat Berlin folks.
These four years ago were trying
to kill all of us. The German In
telligentsia are loudly crying that if
they can help it, Germany will not
be the battle ground of another
world war. The clever French OBJ
ject to our re-implementing the du
Pont and Standard Oil cartels with L.
j. Farben, and re-arming the Ruhr.
Sweden, at Russia's front door,
and unafraid, because she knows the
Russians need no foreign markets,
will not join the Atlantic Pact.
Woodrow Wilson said Rivalry for
world markets caused the World
War" (the first. 1t caused the
Second. 1t is Matching the Third.
We try to raise trade barrier
against what we call the Iron Cur
tain. We hurt ourselves by it. We
could sell billions of dollars in ma
chinery and cotton to Communist
China. We are pouting children.
For want of market, our factories
are laying off men. Britain is not
so stupid. Six weeks ago she made
a 600 million dollar trade agreement
with Poland.
Helping Ourselves Toward A Dust"
The avowed purpose of the Mar
shall Plan is to restore the factories
If the still capitalist countries of
Europe. These are our rivals for
he world market in machinery, auto
radios, sewing machines;
heir colonies are our rivals in cot
,on, tobacco, corn, meat. The more |
We help our rivals, the quicker we
each a glut - sequent unemploy-
nent, and bust. Any body but a
general can see that. The military
believe in force alone. They often
ook backward.
Forty months ago we occupied
apan to secure our trade in the
orient. 1t costs us 500 million dol
ars annually. Now we have no
oriental trade to protect, but we
till occupy Japan. They kid them
elves tn It the Japs are now our
riends.
The weak point in our levee
gainst the rise of Communism in
he world is Japan. The Japs love !,
S like we would love the Japs if one
f Hirohito's generals was in Wash
1gton ruling this country. Only
hildren and generals think other
yise.
The "Lux" in Benelux is Luxem-
urg; not as large as Silver Bow :
ounty. The Atlantic Pact is to en- : .
race Benelux. Are we to go to war !,
the ambassador from Luxembourg :
} Moscow insults Mrs. Molotov?
Congress has the sole power to de-
lare war, under our Constitutions 6
{ we enter the "Pact" we are COM \
lifting an international fraud, or we
re evading the Constitution without
mendment. :
Washington was all for federal :
uilding of canals and highways. He =
ould now be for valley authorities. ?
