the price of liberty and a
good defense backs it up. If
nations and people could be
trusted to keep their word,
armies would not be neces-
sary nor even policemen for
that matter.

Your objective coverage Of
the activities Of the various
groups in Washington on
October 81, in connection
with the Cuban crisis is
greatly to be commended.
The expression Of different
ideologies by peaceful dem
onstration, which took place
in great numbers throughout
the country, and reporting Of
these activities by the pub
licity media, are signs OF a
healthy and vigorous democ-
racy. Both support and OPP
position are valid evidence
of citizen participation es-
sential to this democracy, in
which we Americans take
great pride.
In stating our thanks, we
believe we are also voicing
the thanks of all concerned.

We should like to second
the clarion call to the cause
of Americanism as sounded
by Alfred S. Henning in his
letter. s v. .....
We, too, oppose the grandi-
ose schemes which have been
so blatantly foisted off upon
the gullible American public
by Un-American foreigners
in the United Nations. Dan
gerous, crackpot schemes like
world peace" and hare
Drained ideas like "disarma-
ment".
We fully share the intense
disappointment which some
must have felt as the hours
dragged slowly by and there
was still this damnable zone
world, not two or three
smaller pieces. On into the
night we listened to our
radios, tuning hopefully to the
CONELRAD stations, but the
treacherouS U. Mist silence
continued. Our hopes were
shattered as we witnessed the
elimination of the U. N. plot
and saw U Thant interposing
himself in our sovereign
domestic affairs.
But be of cheer; our
chance shall come. Within
the next few tense weeks
if we act with care-We can
once and for all, remove from
the world any chance Of
disarmament and end any
possibility of world peace.
We can expel the U. N. from
our sacred soil along with its
seditious talk of "interna-
ton cooperation; in short,
with care and forethought,
we can remove everything.

Our Government should
take immediate steps to de-
molished the missile bases
under construction in Cuba,
regardless of the promises
made by the SovietS. Prior to
current meetings of the Sc
curity Council at the United
Nations, and the evidence of
Subversion and wanton OPP
preston by the Soviets which
was ably presented by Mr..
Stevenson a few days ago, it
has been apparent that sin
certify of purpose as we'll as
agreements and misses
made at any time by the So
Wet Government, are nothing
more than guile and deceit
Surmounted by the desire and
intent to dominate the entire
world.
1t is hoped that our Gov
eminent will not be side
tracked from the essential
need Of destroying the bases
in Cuba and the removal Of
all offensive weapons located
there. This action is justified
not only for the welfare and
security of our Nation, but
the free world as well.

Has it occurred to you that
the Soviet backdown in Cuba
might have been motivated
by a desire to save something
from the wreckage? Castro
Is still there. Had we moved
in to clean out the bases,
Castro would have gone with
them.
