Kaesong, which was agreed to be free
of fighting for truce talks. An Ameri-
can dropt bomb on the Sanctuary"
We, after bold denials finally admitted
the truth Such conduct is beyond the
pale of international law. If it was ac-
cidental, 1 have not read that we made
any decent apology. A sad fact of aerial
war is that bombardiers do sometimes
drop bombs on their own men. A Butte
boy was seriously wounded in War II
by a bomb dropt from a United States
plane.
The Congress tamely delegated it's
power of making a treaty of peace to
the generals in the field. This war has
cost directly and indirectly the Ameri-
can Workers $50 billion. Juggle as you
may, the worker of farm and factory
produces all real wealth, and by the
sweat of the brow, pays all public
debt that is not repudiated,-ours may
be if it gets much bigger. The true
casualty list of American boys is now
above that of our losses in the Japa
nese War, i. e., 1000.
And so far we have not been told
word of what the Enemy demands
at the Peace Table are, or what Ridge
ways demands are. If the Enemy de-
mandS merely our retirement to the
38th parallel, it should have been con-
coed in a half hour. When we went
dDON6 that parallel, war Oh dSSTeSSlOu
by us developed And millions of Ameri-
cans would so vote, and to grant this
demand. If the demand is that we get
out of Asia, why Ex-President Hoover
broadcast last January that we should
get out of Asia. Millions of good Ameri
can citizens who are Republicans and
plenty of Democrats, and all of us
ProgreSSiVeS, would take Mr.. HoOVer'S
advice on this, and so vote.
Are irving to save face" before
the world? We lost face" before all
the world, about victory, within an
hour after Mr.. Hoover broadcast last
winter that we had lost the war in
Korea. Ever since that fateful even
ing, like a wild gambler against
spiked game, we have been playing |
faster and looser with money which we
may re-earn, and with lives of our gall
ant, noble young Americans that can
never return.
If the Enemy has in fact bought
enough planes from Russia to give
air superiority, then our Navy should
be ever watchful,-the Enemy may
Duy enough submarines to sink bat
-leships. The Soviet Union has more
than we have. 1t has about
vice as many fighting planes as we
nave.
Russia has no wish to fight us, or
my nation. Sweden, next door, gets
countries. A Communist economy buys
n foreign markets, but has little need
% sell in such.
Woodrow Wilson said the first World
War was caused by a scramble for
world markets. Russia is going to get
he Iranian Oil, by simply bidding more
n gold than England pays the Per
slams for it in paper money. Basically
t all hinges on finances built on real
goods and gold, and not on gadgets
md paper money. Because of our top
leaVy public debt, our car makers
must pay an excise tax of above $500
IN each automobile made. The So
lets have no great public debt; no eX-
ess tax on cars. So they are selling
GOOD cars all over Europe for $3.50
ach.
While Nero played the fiddle, Rome
urned. While secret peace talks are
DING on, or being stalled for 80 days
5000 splendid young American boys
re killed or crippled. What in Fl -
re they talking about? Will they keep
up until their mouths are stopt with
ust?"
Is the increase in income taxes TO be
Sed only to get more of our splendid
Dung men killed or crippled?
