Comment On
World Events

There is no escape from the
worldwide struggle in which We
find ourselves. There is no mis-
taking the Kremlin's determine
tion to rule the world. The conflict
between communism and the prin-
ciples of western democracy is ir-
lreconcilable.. Communists regard
individual people merely as tools
to be used for the purposes of com
lmunist world rule, without regard
Ito their desires, their rights OF
l'even their lives.
Many Americans are not yet
awake to the issues and implica-
tions. Every one of US, and espec-
tally every worker, needs to know
the facts about Stalin's world con-
spiracy, his, strategy, the military
Istriking power and worldwide fifth
columns lined up against us.
We must recognize that under
communism there can be no such
thing as truth or honor or good
faith between men, and no religion
which places God above Stain.
Then America will develop the un-
divided will to win which can stop
the onward march of communism.

Soviet communism as a way of
life cannot stand the test of free
dom because it can never meet the
spiritual, intellectual or physical
needs of men. That is why it can
only be kept in power in. Russia or
any country by network of spies,
secret police and concentration
camps. Stain knows that if the
free world were permitted, to exist
alongside the communist world,
communism would eventually crum-
BILE. That is why he seeks to des-
troy the free world. He would drive
human freedom off the earth.
The communist drive for world
rule can be stopped. 1t may even
be possible to stop it short of world
war. We of the free world do not
have to equal Stalin's military
machine, but the USA and other
free. nations must have enough
military power and be so well or
ganized for its use that Stain will
find an attack anywhere in the
world too costly to attempt.

We must get the facts to peo-
pie everywhere. The message of
freedom and democracy has always
inspired people; it can rouse the
non-communist world, and win the
allegiance of dependent peoples if
we show them that the free world
offers them what they want---inde-
pendence and self-government bas-
ed on respect for human beings,
chance to raise living standards,
cooperation with other nations
founded on respect for national
sovereignty in world community
where no nation seeks to rule
others.
We must reach the people of
Asia with the truth before Stain
deceives them into accepting slav-
cry under him. We must find ways
of reaching the millions who are
oppressed behind the iron curtain
and work with them for their lib
Grafton.
Stalin's idea of world dictator
ship is a thousand years out of
date. The way of the future is
that of free men disciplined to live
together so that each can make
use of his rights while respecting
the rights of others, living togeth-
er in peace by reaching mutual
which they honor. We
can win the struggle only with an
all-out effort at great sacrifice.
Time is running out. If we delayl
that effort too long, we may be in
volved in a world war lasting forl
decades, in which every home will
be bomb target. We can win theI
because ours is the way
of human growth and progress, but
it will not be easy.
