One Is led to believe that his major
crime is his comparative aggres-
siveness in organizing workers.
Hate campaigns on the interna-
tional level have been instituted
to justify aggressive wars to
strengthen the position of Amer
ican industries in foreign count
ries. A prime example is the Span
ish-American War, in which Span
ish colonies, including Cuba, were
liberated" for the benefit of us.
corporations.
World War Is an example of
retaliation on the part Of Ameri-
can munitions manufacturers
against Germany because Ger
many sank American ships selling
munitions to Germanys enemy
England. This hate campaign was
so intense that many American
towns, including Young America,
Minnesota, were forced to change
their names from German names
to names more in keeping with
American traditions.
The hate campaign against Cuba
has been going on since the Cuban
people took the land away from
the American sugar corporations.
Cuba could not however be "iber-
ated" in the traditional way of
dealing with Latin American
countries which Is merely to
send the Marines-because of the
crisis to American capitalism In
the remainder Of South Amer
lea.
Cuba did however feel the brunt
Of American economic power and
a hate campaign against Russian
soldiers in Cuba. This hate cam
paign has however been lessened
since the clamp down on the
Cuban refugees. The hysteria
among the American citizenry has
In turn lessened to such an extent
that the political analyst Sam
Lubell reports that most Americans
are now resigned to the fact
that the Russian soldiers will re-
main in Cuba. One Is led from this
to believe that a further lessen
ing Of the hate campaign might re-
suit in the acceptance Of Cuba It.
self. The fact that very few Amer
leans owned any property in Cuba
before the revolution adds more
force to this view.
In the past year the hate cam
paign against Russia has lessened
and the one against China has in
creased but the one against China
will soon be forced to have q
change in direction. The hate cam
paign against China has tradition
ally been to arouse sympathy fol-
the Chinese peasants. Wall Street
Journal now reports in effect that
maybe China finally has a regime
that may be able to feed its mas
ses.
Fear Of a revolution in Halt
caused a hate campaign against
Duvalier. The Dominican Republic
was for a time expected to do the
dirty work to keep American corp.
crate interests intact. The lessen
ing Of this hate campaign in re.
cent days implies that the Ken.
nedy Administration now believes
that the oAS has succeeded In
making Duvaiier's position ot
power secure and therefore the
American corporate interests are
secure.

glorious larceny.

pAGEAN FEASTS
Are SOURCE
OF CUSTOMS

Most of the customs now as
sociated with Christmas were
originally pagan or non-Chris-
tian, according to The Ency-
clopedia Americana. Saturna-
liza, Roman feast celebrated
in mid-December, provided the
model for many of the merry
making customs of Christmas.
From this celebration, for ex-
ample, were derived the elab-
crate feasting, the giving of
gifts and the burning of cand-
les.
Lights also played an impor-
tant part in most winter sol
stice festivals. An obscure fig
ure in the early mythologies
of the East emerged as a sun
god. From the LIST century
BIC. this figure Mithras, was
adopted by an increasing num-
Der of Roman soldiers and
others. Mithras' greatest fes-
tival was that of the winter
solstice, the time when the god
began to return to his wor-
shippers.
In the 5th century the West
ern church ordered feast cele-
brating the birth of the Savior
to be observed on the day of
the Mithraic rites of the birth
of the sun and at the close of
the Saturnalia.
Among the German and Gel
tic tribes the winter solstice
was considered an important
point of the year and to COM
memorate the return of the sun
they held their chief festival
of the Yule, which like other
of the Yule, which, like other
pagan celebrations, b e a m e
adapted to Christmas.

Candlemaking Among
Oldest Professions

Candlemaking is one of the
worlds oldest professions. An
ton Will, a German immi
grant, was one of the first
candlemakers in til e United
States. He made candles over
a kitchen stove in Syracuse,
New York, about 1855, founded
firm which now makes can
dies for the Vatican.
Another American firm once
fashioned candles in the like
ness of Lillian Russell and also
made the worlds biggest wax
lights, an 18-foot memorial
gandle lighted once a year at
singer Enrico Caruso's tomb in
Italy.
The frontiersman., 1963-12-19

Though Christmas comes but
1nce a year, there is certainly
no one and only way to cele-
rate it. In addition to tn e
many customs that are gen.
orally shared - lights, bells,
trees, gifts, Santa, prayer and
feasting = the special ways of
observing the holiday are as
'aried and numerous as tn e
communities n d families in
volved.
Often the history and Gull
ture of a community is the in
spiration for the way it cele-
brates Christmas. In o t h e r
cases the customs" are con-
