under the direction of the United
States, and which even a majority OF
the South Koreans do not approve? Is
it any worse for Russia to sell equip
ment and munitions to one. side than
for us TO sell to the other? Isn't that
2 glorious business for a Christian CD
nation to be engaged in?
THREE PERTINENT QUESTIONS
And, speaking of Christianity what
are our preachers and the professed
followers of the 'lowly Nazarene" do
ing about it Are they living up to the
principles they profess to believe in?
Are they saying anything about it?
Do they believe in turning the 9TH
err cheek" or have they revised that
part of the scriptures to read turn
and Smite him on both cheeks and give
him one in the eye for good measure,
and like a bunch of damned hypocrites
singing praise the Lord and pass the
| ammunition?
For my part 1 never did hold TO that
idea of turning the other cheek, but
| don't go in heavily for sticking either
cheek in front of another fellows
punch. If Christianity means anything
TO its followers they should in all logic
and consistency be actively opposing
the rabble-rousing war mongers rath-
er than sitting silently by, and by their
silence giving assent to a violation of
the ethics of Christianity
And now, speaking of DEMOCRACY
Big-hearted Uncle is proffering a loan
of sixty or hundred million to that
great exponent of democracy. FRANCO |
of Spain. Shades of Thomas Jeffer- |
SON. Franco who by dictatorial meth |
DDS and with hired mercenaries, over
threw government set UP under
peaceful democratic procedure Fran
co, who with the aid of the legions of
Hitler and Mussolini, established the
school and set the stage for world
war number two and who only re-
Trained from joining the Axis powers
when he saw they We're sure to lose ,
What are our congressman and sena-
tors thinking about? Do they for one ,
minute believe that the Franco regime {
IAN be trusted to stand with America ,
against any power that has chance .
If winning? Franco will get the loan f
+ he invests in arms and ammunition =
We can bet he will turn them on us if ,
he tide turns that way. =
