the world to get the CORY
details about what our own
Government is doing!
I will support open U. S.
military intervention in Cuba
right now. And, I will sup
port a policy Of U. S. leader
Ship-of telling our so-called
Allies either to follow us
or go join the other camp.
We have been carrying the
freight and paying the cost;
we are entitled to make the
leaders decisions. Why should
we continue to care what
other nations think?

Our President faces the
lonely agony of history's
ultimate command decision:
What must we do about the
Communist occupation of
Cuba? Communist cancer has
Frustrated our nearest neigh
Dor and friend. Ironically,
our alarm and determina-
ton to survive are Knocked
and condemned by the very
nations upon whom we have
lavished our money and
spent the blood Of our sons.
We, and not the criminal
conspirators Of the Kremlin.
are the defendants before
the bar of the United Ma
tions. Those once the friends
and champions of human
dignity and freedom make
common cause with the
butchers of Budapest and
the ruthless terrorists whose
crimes against humanity
curse God and mock all law,
truth and order. BY what
black magic do we stand &C
cuSed before our fair weather
friends with the butchers of
Budapest as our judges and
prosecutors? The answer is
self evident: The SlavemaS-
terS have marched to world
power and domination with
the Satanic use of their veto.
We have an unused veto
in the Security Council on
issues of substance. The Com
munist slavemasters have
used 1t scores of times to win
a world empire. We, who
never have used it, stand
condemned and humiliated.
Surely our survival and Sc
curity are uncontestable mat
ters Of substance. The
SlavemaSters say they have
a right to take over Cuba.
Must we stand eyeless and
broken before the bar of
history because we do not
have the wit and will to save
ourselves with the very
weapon which won the slave
masters a world empire and
the servile sycophancy of
those who once pretended
to be our friends?

Norman Thomas babbling
prompts me to write this let
ter. This country has too long
listened to the advice of
ush-brained idealists who
whimper about the possibility
of World War III and about
how important it is for us to
have the affection" of other
nations. The big majority of
the apathetic people of this
world will be on the side Of
whichever country is win
ming, no matter how mice"
the losing side may be. So
we'd better start fighting to
win, instead of sitting around
biting our nails because
other people may not like"
us If we act to protect our
selves. 1 think President Ken
nedy will have 80 per cent of
the American people support
ing him in any policy which
will prove this country is
powerful and will not heSi-
tate to use that power re-
gardless of what it does to
our prestige" The other one
per cent, like Mr.. Thomas,
apparently would prefer tenn
porizing which in the end
would leave us with our backs
to the wall when we would
either have to fight World
War III or surrender COM
pletely. A courageous policy
opposing the Communists
now will make another world
war less likely.

I decry your editorial
support of President Ken
nedy's pledge to use force,
as necessary" in Cuba and
Latin America generally. If
Mr.. Kennedy, indeed, intends
to send American troops on
such missions. he does not
have my support, and / regret
the ballot I cast for him.
