NATIoNALIsM
From Statement by Isbrandtsen Editor Publsher)
National Pride is self home and country. is strength
and commands respect
The great debate in this Country the ques
ton to arm and all out for East and West or to de-
fend these shores and this hemisphere
This is not partisanship it is grave question that only
the citizens of these United States should decide They do
the fighting and make the supreme sacrifice No par
y of men should gamble with our heritage barter and trade
with life death The foreign and international lntu-
have much to do with policy lack of policy
Many high places in the legal profession have built
up Commissions in the interests of their foreign clients to the
derment of this country and its citizens gorifcation
and fat fee has done much to confuse national policies
and left this and prothat Americanism Natonasm
and National Pride lie dormant in fear of persecution by
authority fear of foreign and social recognition We fear
to be different from others We lack Intellectual and moral
courage to declare ourselves
The United Nations, super government fosted upon
u.s. has mandate to deplete resources, suck our
strength decide life death of people, We have
been engineered into nferiorty complex of bowling to
wards and debtors This lack of national pride
alzed upon by foreign directorate to furnish
ey and material to carry to perpetuate foreign
interest at the cost of possible destruction de-
terioration.
The cry goes out that the United States peril and
vulnerable This is reality. From the United Nations
the plea must not quit in Korea Korea the grave
yard of the flower of army International leaders would
risk about with Asia that they survive at the
cost of American life and treasure The American people
have awakened from overdose of sleeping pills, hit be-
the eyes with the realization that the battle of
creed and religion became paramount in OUR way OF life
Today face the threat of humiliation and while the
worlds advisors put self before service it they who led
the Horse Troy into midst Europe would sit the
sdenes and let take the blows America might crumbe
and the United Nations would become myth for historians
The founders of this Republic intended foreign
influences should destroy institutions traditions and
national honor should they be barered and traded in
and carried out by anyone labeled American citizen You
Nationalsm is undivided allegiance.
Europe advised did not need navy they
would defend Now comes the plan that we DO not need
merchant fleet they will make deliveries 1t could de-
stroy power our independence and forever our
trade and commerce
frao
to the outside world for the
ception for merchant ships abroad we radtonay
grant theirs herehs is intercourse with foreign peo
pies
The average person, while ready in the breakout to
take stand My Country right wrong finds it difficult
for this same reason OF his inherent loyalty TO follow the
taboos and shifting of experts in foreign dpomacy-a
buddy today is enemy tomorrow and around again
disarm him today put him in arms tomorrow.
We not nation of jugglers!
Our greater mental balance in these matters was when
our ears were less filled with barngs and hastings and be-
fore the time 35 years ago. when began
ing ourselves beyond our depth with the political and re-
gous deooges abroad That has been all contrary to the
traditional policy of this country
Our earlier way of conducting affairs at home
should be renstated-a reformation-so
ample for those abroad to follow if they five in
vincible watch and hold to that way of fefor
better way devised Our founders did not
templete its corruption.
We should have less nationalsm than the empires

The foreign agenda is to take all and give little; this
manifested by the token contribution in the Korean

We were once called Uncle Shyock Today we are the
undisputed Santa Claus (sucker).
Our State Department, partisan statesmen and dplo
