Judqinq the Reds

JlOuBHJS OH JIle COlQ war are
quite Illuminating; they typi-
fly the current thinking Of
many in the West. He be-
Titles the opinions of those
who judge the Communists
by their past actions, and
who firmly believe that we
are in a struggle for our very
survival. Mr.. Wadsworth
seemingly accepts peaceful
co-exiStence completely and
states that IAN honorable
formula without surrender or
appeasement is imperative"
Just what is this magic for
mula" he has in mind? Has
negotiation, economic or po-
litical pressureS on our part
impeded the advance of
Communist expansion since
World War II? The Reds
dominate one-third of the
worlds population and one
fourth Of its land mass; and

sion, national revolution, CO.

ing to take over what is left
of the free world. Mr.. Wads-
worth conveniently overlookS
the Communist subversive
apparatus operating in every
free world country; he neg
lects to mention the Al mil
lion Communist Party men,
bers dedicated to the cause
of total Communist world
domination.
II Mr.. Khrushchev is such
an advocate of peace, why
is he feverishly increasing
the power Of the Soviet
armed forces at the expense
Of the material well-being Of
the Russian and satellite
peoples? Mao Tse-tung is
pictured as extremely "belli-
gerent" and "bellicose", but
Khrushchev is now "moder-
ate" and peace-loving": If
Mr.. Khrushchev is so peace
loving" why did he install
nuclear missiles in Cuba,
which could very well have
led to q nuclear exchange?
Why do the Soviets threaten
us with total destruction
every time we stiffen our
backbone and attempt to
physically stop new Com
munist expansion? Does Mr..
Wadsworth consider threats
such as these "peace-like"?
The militant anti-Com-
munists recognize the Com
munist conspiracy for what
it is, total and unequivocal;
they believe that KhrushcheV
is Just as evil. Just a dedi-
Gated and just as dangerous
as Lenin or Stain. II history
proves the militant anti
Communists wrong, they will
gladly be called fools. II,
however, they are proven
right, Mr.. Wadsworth along
with millions Of others will
indeed be dead or enslaved.

James ]. Wadsworth says
that opponents Of a disarma-
ment treaty are "in error"
in their belief that the So
viets would "cheat or abro-
gate the treaty by deciding
not to live up to It," and
adds that the Reds would
live up to a treaty "as long
as they consider 1t in their
interest to do so :"
It is a known fact that. Of
some so or go treaties and
agreements negotiated by
the Soviets during their ex-
istence. all but two have been
broken by them-and also,
that the Soviet government
has, at one time or other.
broken its. word to every
other government in the
world with which 1t has ever
negotiated.
In arguing that opponents
OF a treaty are "in error"
by believing that Soviet
force or threat OF force"
makes negotiations unwise
or impossible. Mr.. Wads-
worth has actually nullified
his own argument by admit
ting that "neighbors" can
live In comparative amity
despite disagreements "un-
less either try 10 force
their respective ideas on the
other" There you have the
nub OF the problem. So long
as any Communist remains
alive, he will try to force"
his ideas and customs on
all his 'neighbors":: and
