number of improvements in his handi-
work.
Evidently I am not alone in this
skeptical attitude for it seems that
man himself is not entirely satisfied
with the earth as he finds it. He no
sooner lands in a virgin territory than
he starts trying. to change the land
scape to some theory of his own.
However, L believe that the place
where there is the greatest room for
improvement on Gods handiwork rs in
the human race itself and if [ had
the power (and the inclination to work
over this alleged human race [
think the first thing 1 would do would
be to endow it with at least a logical
and consistent mentality. Even our
preachers who are assumed to eX-
pound their Masters gospel or preach
His commandments are neither consis-
tent nor logical. They tell us that the
commandment is thou shall not kill"
and then sing praise the Lord and
pass the ammunitiOn.'' For the life of
me | can't see the consistency or logic
In that,-but then maybe [ don't belong
to the human race. Might be only half
human at that
In one of the public places a few
days ago l found a stack of leaflets
each measuring about AXIS inches and
headed Cooperation Winds Of Freedom
which is put out by the Crusade For
Freedom (purportedly 16 million citi-
zens of the USA) and said to be the
same in size and appearance as the
w elYe million leaflets carried by
scientifically controlled Freedom Bal
looms to the prisoner peoples behind
the Iron Curtain
OF all the puerile argument placed
before supposedly intelligent group of
adult humans that it has been nv
privilege to see, this leaflet certainly
takes the sour dough biscuit"
Space will not permit me to quote
the entire message which the leafIet
carried supposedly to the people of
CZechoSloVakia, but the message reads
IKE telling fairy story to a group of
college graduates and expecting them
to swallow it hook, line and sinker'
Now this message is supposed to be
addressed to group of adults with
at least average intelligence, but a
sixth grade pupil would sense the pa
attitude of the Senders and
from sheer resentment turn up his
nose in disgust at this and any flu
ture message from the same source.
How then can this group of sixteen
millions of the USA" expect the mess
age to be received by the ADULT
citizens of Czechoslovakia (whom we
assume to have some intelligence) with
anything but laughter.
AT the bottom of the leaflet, however,
[ lind the meat in the nutshell. In CAPT
al letters the words CONTRIBUTE
TODAY" Evidently it is Just one more
If our numerous "rackets'' masquerad-
ng under the name of patriotism or al
ruism.
If sixteen million citizens of the
JSA trying to convince the adult
citizens of Czechoslovakia of the bless
ngs OF democracy have no more in
diligence than to attempt to talk
baby talk" to those people they need
lot expect any of the described re-
ults, 1t is really too bad however, that
he leaflets were so small (4xS inches).
Had they been twice that size the
'eople OF Czechoslovakia might have
ound some use for them.
All, well so it goes with this sup
'osedly intelligent human race" con-
istency is still a jewel the more valu-
BILE because it is so rarely found
Again in the Sept. 21st issue of New
ork's Wailing Wall (st)-vis. News
nd World Report-we find two en-
Ire pages devoted to an advertisement
1 one large company boasting of its
accomplishments in MAKING AMERI-
"A PROSPEROUS, while just two
ages farther on in the mag is an edi-
orlal by David Lawrence bewailing
he fact that America is facing bank
uptcy. Reminds one of the early dav
oWpoke who couldn't lie consistent to
pilgrim"
one paragraph of Lawrence's editor
II merits thought. 1t suggests ousting
rom power spendthrift administra-
ION and getting "one in which there
an be revival of faith and conf
ence." Again, the average citizen is
empted to ask, Where From?' Chair
ian of the Democratic National Com
llttee and Democratic officials under
lVest1gation charged with graft and
orruptlon. Chairman of the Republic
an National Committee and numerous
officials in an identical
pot. One wonders just where David
lawrence would suggest that Ame1i-
ans go to get an administration that
WOULD inspire faith and confidence"
Ho, Hum. Amt human nature grand?
