Land of wishful thinking, of
which our proposed recep-
ton of the Kremlin's MUIR
derer-in-chief as a guest of
the Nation is only one more
disheartening example. 1t all
only seems to prove the old
saw that history only shows
us that mankind has an al
most infinite capacity for
making the same old mis-
takes over and over again.
We can never hope to ac-
complish a thing in our own
defense until we take of our
rose-colored glasses and stop
deluding ourselves about the
nature of the enemy who
faces us. II we refuse to save
ourselves, no one else is going
to do it for us.

What have we come to-
this Land of the free and
home of the brave?" Do we
no longer want freedom? Are
we no longer brave? Is a cold
war so much deadlier than O
hot one that we not only fail
to resist invasion by the enc
my. but send him a formal
invitation and then put his
flag UP for him-even before
he gets here?
Millions Of freedom Loving
Americans from the Ameri-
can Revolution to the present
have died to keep such "visi-
tors" and their flags from our
soil. On behalf of our World
War I dead, John Nc Crae
wrote,
Take up our quarrel with
the foe.
To you with failing hands
We throw
The Torch. Be yours to hold
it high.
II We break faith with us who
die,
We shall not sleep, though
peoples grow
In Flanders Fields"
And what Of the men in
Arlington Cemetery? Are we
holding the torch high? Or
are we afraid it might hurt
Mr.. Khrushchev's eyes?

1t would be fitting and
proper to fly all American
flags at half-mast during
Mr.. KS tour Of the United
States of America as a trib-
ute especially to American
flyers who were shot down
without warning, and to the
millions Of people the world
over who have been and are
still being butchered by COM
munism Of which Mr.. K. is
the arch-director.
Let no true freedom-loving
American think for one min
ute that the fat smiling face
of Mr.. K. indicates a change
in the black treacherous
heart of this murderer, just
waiting for us to be lulled
into a state of compromise
and relaxation of eternal
vigilance. so that he might
be able to fulfill his threat
to bury us.

Why haven't we heard
from the last bulwark of
democracy. the D. A. r., on
Khrushchev's visit? We hope
and pray the dear girls will
keep their powder dry.

Regarding the forthcom-
ing tragic visit to our shores
of the H a n g m an of the
Ukraine" the Butcher of
budapest" or the "Torturer
of Tibet" those being a party
to his invitation might par
TALLY undo the harm they
have done by arranging to
have the Dalai Lama tour
the United States during the
same period as Khrushchev.
This would give the Amer
lean people a clear-cut OPP
portunity to demonstrate
their preference for the I'M
derdog and a man of God
over his oppressor, the leader
of the forces of darkness.

= So
Now that Nikita Khru-
shchev is coming to the
United States, President Eli
Senhower ought to demand
that Russia carry out free
elections to which she agreed
in the Baltic states, Hungary,
Poland, Czechoslovakia and
in the other satellites.
