Cold Shoulder to Warm Welcome for Khrushchev

enemies, /. e., Communists.
And we must be on our guard.
However, Americans cannot
condemn communism really.
because it feeds many mouths
though it closes many minds.

It's pretty strange that just
as the Geneva conference is
breaking up with no prospect
of a summit meeting in view,
Eisenhower suddenly comes
to Khrushchev's rescue and
offers him, without condition.
the h ads Of government
meeting the Kremlin tyrant
has been angling for, to
restore his prestige and show
the restless captive people
that America is hand in glove
with their oppreSsors. And
Eisenhower had solemn My
promised the United States
public that he would not
meet KhruShchev on the
summit level unless the Reds
made some concession that
would justify the summit
meeting. Now Eisenhower has
not only given Khrushchev
that meeting for nothing but
the chance ito deSecrate
American soil with his pres
ence as well!

tended a warm invitation to
visit our beloved country.
This is a new low in degra-
dalton. mo, Mr.. Khrushchev,
please don't stab us in the
back, just cut our Threats so
we can watch you" What
are the leaders of our coun-
try thinking about? Won't
they ever learn, or will it take
another Pearl Harbor?
Thank God, John Foster
Dulles did not live to see
everything for which he
worked and sacrificed cast
aside and trampled under
foot by the fawning politi-
clans, who will be falling all
over each other vying for in
vitations to rub shoulders
with old bullet-head Khru-
Shchev.
I hope that every red
blooded American will give
"Old Man Communism" the
coolest welcome ever accord
ed a foreign visitor to our
shores.

I don't agree that Ameri-
cans should give Khrushchev
the same friendly treatment
accorded Vice President
Nixon by the Russian people
during his visit to Russia.
There's lot of difference be-
tween the representative of a
country like ours and the
leader of the Communist
conspiracy.
I believe he should be
treated courteously (don't
throw rocks, but I should
think that no real American
would want to greet him with
open arms (no doubt many in
this country would like to
greet him with closed flSts).
After all, his smiles can't
wipe off his black spots, nor
can anything he may have to
say undo the work he and his
henchmen have done and are
doing.
Anti Communist.
Americans can't seem to
remember that it is deeds,
not words, that count. All
of the smiles, handshakes
and preferred bouquets, re-
plete with hand-kissing, can
not obliterate the knowledge
that the Soviet government
still holds slaves and has
permitted killing and untold
torture of millions of people
in still captive nations.
The Russian people, smil-
ing and friendly to visitors
do not rule-have no choice
but to grin and bear it."
Their socialist dictator con-
trolls every person and the
peril of non-conformity is
Punishment, Imprisonment or
death.
Of course, the Russian
people cry peace, as re-
ported by Vice-President
Nixon's companions on his
visit there. What sane per-
son does not cry peace?
But we know we shall not
have peace until the Rus
sian rulers respect contract
and individual dignity and
