The Sidney herald., 1963-01-30

t1more, Dean AcheSon, Dean
Rusk, and at times John Fost-
er Dulles, who came to see
the futility Of that policy and
showed that a policy of firm
ness was successful.
In order to make sure that
the American people continue
a Soft-on-C Communism team,
Skousen said, the Communists
have launched a massive at
tack against anyone who talks
against Communism. This pro-
gram, which he said has been
the most terrifically successful
brain washing project that ever
happened in America, was or
dered out of Moscow in 1861.
Soon loyal Americans were
calling other loyal Americans
"rightists, fascists and extrem-
lists" These three words, he
said, are right out of COM
muniSt.
SkOuSen summarized what
he called a series of miScalcu-
lations by advisers in the US.
State department, which he
said have been responsible for
allowing the Communists to
get where they are today. He
said this has come about, not
because these advisers were
lacking in the desire to defeat
communism, but because they
tended to believe the Com
muniSt leaders, and to take a
chance on Communism, hoping
they would mellow.
He said we in America are
pretty much in the same stu
alton as we were in 1939-we
still have people in the state
department who think you can
trust the Communists, who
want to trade and make friends
with them.
Skousen traced the spread of
Communism since 1889, stating
that World War II was trigger
ed by Stain, when he signed
a non-aggreSsion pact with
Hitler, with plans to double
cross Germany and come in
later to conquer the world it
self. In 1941 a similar non-ag-
gression pact with the Japan
csc war lords Stain turned
Japan loose in the Pacific.
He said that congressional
investigations later disclosed
that Hopkins apparently gave
atomic secrets to the Russians
and was responsible for ship
ping about one-haf of Ameri-
cas- refined uranium salts to
Russia in 1943 and 1914.
He said the outcome of this
proved the folly of seeking
friendship with the Communist
through generosity. He said a
mind must be dealt
with the same way it would
be dealt with in any major
city. First, it must be COM
pletely demobilized and dis
armed. This is what we did to
the Japanese war lords and
Hitler. When this was accom-
pliShed we proved we were
not vindictive and that we
wanted to be friends. At the
end of World War II, Skousen
said, Americas two greatest
friends turned out to be con-
quered Japan and conquered
Germany
Skousen said the soft-on-
Communism team gives bad
advice to presidents, whether
they are Republicans Or Demo-
Gratis. He said President Ken
nedy got bad advice on Cuba,
negotiated with Khrushchev
and secretly promised him that
if he removed his missiles from
Cuba he would guarantee the
us. would not try to over
throw Castro and would not
allow any other western hem
isphere nation to do so.
Skousen climaxed his talk
with a message of hope, stating
we must work through both
our political parties to keep the
American eagle in the center
of the political spectrum.
We can reverse the current
trend in a matter of months
and communism could be
smothered in a matter of two
or three years, and Krushchev
knows it, Skousen said.
There are massive peaceful
pressures available to us IN
the economic and political fields
that could absolutely smother
communism and allow every
one of those people to come
-
forth free in our lifetime. We
need to stop negotiating and
coddling and look forward to
the day when they will be over
thrown and their people Will
be free, Skousen said.
"Im not saying that these
mistakes that have been made
are irretrievable errors, but
they were mistakes of human
beings who got bad advice, and
we do not want to repeat them
1 want to see tie day when Am
erican presidents are getting
advice from American advls-
ors," SkouSen said.
