General Eisenhower For
Dictator
BY LOWNDEs MAURY, Butte


Rome called herself a republic She
believed that her government was Re-
publican. SO did Athens. SO did Sparta
In fact all three were oligarchies based
on chattel slavery But in the class of
free citizens, our Republican or Demo-
cratic concepts arose and were cher
ished. Sparta by the way for it's free
citizens as distinguished from the
slave class, known as Helots, was a
strictly Communist republic, just as
Russia hopes to become, and just as
the Jesuit Society organized the Indians
in Paraguay, (and raised their stand
ards of living; they grew so rich that
both Spain and Portugal seized their
wealth and destroyed them after their
regime endured $50 years)
In Ancient Rome, whenever the Ma
tion was in danger of destruction by
outside forces, (Rome was more I'M
popular abroad than the United States
has grown since V. j. Day. a dictator
was appointed When that happened
the powers of the Roman Senate were
suspended until the emergency was
over. The Tribunes of the people could
not issue for the immediate trial of
one imprisoned, what we call now
Writ of Habeas Corpus. The Treasury
was controlled by the dictator. When
he walked abroad, the Lictors, his
body guard, cleared the way.
a dictator, RADIUS, was appointed
when Hannibal was at the gates of
Rome. Fabius used the same plan to
destroy Hannibal that China is using
against us; the slow ground holding,
wearing-out process Hannibal the
Carthegenian, was in Italy, far from
his African base, just as we are in Ko-
rea about 10000 miles from Wash
ington. Though Hannibal was in
spired military genius, the plan worked
against Carthage, then much richer
than Rome. The final battle was be-
fore the gates of Carthage Let us pray
that the final battle which the Cold
War is provoking may not be in New
York.
Macarthur has not the military gem
Jus of Hannibal Macarthur had 300,-
600 men in No. Korea when he threat
ened to destroy the Chinese power
plants on the Yalu River. His forces
were divided Not with 1000 men as
our Press said, but with about 1885,
600 men armed with American guns,
obtained via Chang kai-Shek. The Chi
nese answered the American threat by
beating about $4,000 of MacArthur's
men in West Korea near the Yalu,
and then forcing his $4,000 men on the
East Coast of Korea to withdraw to
the 3Sth parallel.
MacArthur's error was an old one.
Sheridan divided his far superior num-
wall Jackson's, into three parcels.
Jackson with a much smaller force, |
defeated them all three in three days, |
and joined Lee the 4th day, attacked
from the rear, and insured the Southern
victory at the 2nd Battle of Manassas. !
Hannibal in Spain once pretended to
retreat across river. The enemy fol- |
lowed. When half were across, he des-
troyed them.
Whether our generals in Korea have |
the genius of Hannibal and Jackson,
or are1 comm on place, the United States |
is being worn out by this war 10000 |
miles from base. China endured loss
of million, and did not quit in the
war Japan waged against her in 1898 |
and 1889.
Carthage was mercantile power, |
just as we are He forces were largely |
mercenary. General Eisenhower, with |
billions, has toured Europe trying to
organize France, Britain, Italy, Spain, |
West Germany, into mercenary militar-
ism for the defense of America. He |
has failed everywhere, except in Spain |
Frances pauperized country. The Eng |
lish and Europeans think that Amer |
lean Economy is disintegrating, and |
that to answer this threat, Europe is |
asked to arm against an enemy that
does not exist.
The big Brass" is the right hand
clique that runs our Economy. There
are six BIS: Big Business, Big Banks,
Big Brass. This clique has clear, but |
short term insight into the future.
It's estimate of distant coming years is
as poor as that of the Southern Slave
holders. (My grandfather was one of
them.)

said some years ago that these two
things would happen. Everybody knows
1t now. The masses have better hind
sight than foresight.
