ON THE OTHER hand, like the house fly, Commu-
nism cannot thrive in a clean, wholesome atmosphere.
The lesson the free world has learned is that the lead
ers in the Kremlin understand only strength. The
clearest example of this took place recently when the
United States made it clear that an attack on Turkey
would be resisted. All at once, and without warning,
from playing up the Turks as preparing for war on
Syria, Russia has declared that there would be no war,
and coincidentally enough, Syria withdrew her demand
that the United Nations investigate these charges.

FORTY RED YEARS

NO ONE IN the satellite countries, and even in the
free world can possibly miss the impact OF ~ years OF
the emergence of communism as a way OF life. Moscow
and all Russia, along with the satellites are ceIebrat-
ing the anniversary Of their great revolution on Novem-
Der 7. Paraded for the benefit of those who must be pre-
sent, and as a challenge to representatives OF the free
world will be the massive war equipment built up over
the years.
THIS CELEBRATION leaves much for grave
meditation and Watchfulness. Little did the world rea-
lie that the theories of Karl Marx would one day be-
come the guideposts for the most sinister form OF die
tatorship. Lenin Whose original name was Vladimir
Ilyich Ulyanov) seized upon these theories to build up
8 small conspiracy after he learned that the Russian
industrial workers did not really want revolution, but
better living conditions.
IN ITS DESIRE for peaceful pursuits and a pre-
occupation with the development Of a better life the
free world little realized that this system would even
tually become a deadly factor to be reckoned with. To-
day Russia has among the worlds fastest and best jet
planes, atomic and hydrogen bombs, guided missiles,
and of course, Sputnik. An entire nation OF over 200 mil
lion people is armed to the teeth and geared for total
war.
BUT MORE THAN all this is the disturbing know
ledge that Communism has for its ultimate goal the
subiugation of the whole world by whatever means may
be best suited for the time and condition. No small ma
ton near the borders of Russia has remained free. 1t
has either become a satellite or been wiped off the map,
as was the case with the Baltic nations of Latvia, Esto-
mia and Lithuania.
THE THREAT TO the very existence of the free
world is implicit in Communism, and there must be pre-
