Take Awoy Enemy's Crutch

ering Americans is: Why do we
continue to provide aid to the
Communists?
An answer to that question
should also provide a clue to why
our Government takes no construc-
tive action toward eliminating
Cuba as a Communist threat to
this hemisphere.
To those who maintain that the
United States has mo foreign poli-
cy,' we are forced to sadly admit
that there definitely is a foreign
policy-one of aiG and comfort to
the Communist conspiracy In spite
of what our State Department and
others in the administration say
to the contrary, actions speak
louder than words.
The record speaks for itself. 1t
is a sorry record of billions of your
dollars to bolster Tito of Yugo-
slavia, Gomulka of Poland, Sukar-
no of Indonesia, and noW-it ap-
pears that even Fidel Castro is to
receive handouts from your pocket
via the back ooor of the United
Nations.
Always the answer is the same.
We must attempt to WOO those ma
tiOns to our side who are not total
ly within the Communist bloc"
The eternal verify that you can't
buy friendship is ignored, as is
the hard fact that men like Tito
repeatedly and outspokenly pledge
their allegiance to Communism.
Meanwhile, American taxpayers are
being taken" along the road to
financial ruin-all in the name of
Fighting Communism.
The Reds have made no secret
of their intention to include the
United States in their overall plans
for world conquest. They constant
ly re-state this aim, and their es-
tablishment of Cuba as bristling
military base should help to con-
firm their intentions to the very
fuzziest of Washingtons' planners.
Yet the parade Of aid and trade
goes on as we continue to strength
en- our enemies, negotiate with
them on non-negotiable matters:
and generally treat them as if
they we're children who haven't
yet learned right from wrong.
rather than the coldly calculating
international gangsters that they
are.
We did not make the Com
munists our enemies. They ac-
complished that themselves. What
is necessary today is that we ap-
praise international Communism
for what it iS......a threat to our
survival, and then take positive
steps to end that threat. We must
follow in the footsteps Of the dedi-
Gated Americans before us who
preserved the Republic against all
of its enemies Americans, many
of whom lie today in military
/ cemeteries, who would have been
incredulOuS at open and fragrant
appeasement of an avowed enemy
1t is being said by growing
number of people that the Com
munist threat IS being encouraged
by our government, rather than
reduced. The reason given is that
a visible threat to world peace"
provides the stimulus to create a
world government The question
i then is whether we want to remain
American citizens-or simply COM
ponent parts Of a world order in
which we would be subjected to
ICl ldlll IOONlGC IOIllllldIiOu.
What is needed Immediately is
complete about face to a position
where specious reasoning for aid
to Communist nations will be
thoroughly rejected At the same
time, diplomatic recognition of
Soviet Russia ond other Red Gov
ernments must be withdrawn. For
without the prestige and other
benefits now afforded by U. S.
recognition, the enemy will be well
on the way to total disinte grafton.
