This left a profit of $509 million, or an average return of $9.3 million per year on investments in the hundreds of millions of dollars. From such statistics, it is impossible to . honestly conclude that Kenne-co- tt has taken excess profits from Chile in the amount of $410 million as asserted by President Salvadore Allende of Chile. You probably favor a world governed by the rule of law, rather than by the rule of men. The rule of law will not prevail unless the United States stands behind generally accepted principles of International Law with respect to this and similar cases. I find it impossible to believe that you want American businesses to return to the principle of maintaining their own foreign relations activities with foreign countries; but unless the Government of the United States stands behind the enforcement of generally accepted principles of International Law with respect to legitimate dealings between our businesses and foreign governments, then our businesses will be forced to return to diplomacy or withdraw from foreign operations. American taxpayers, American Government, and American working people of all clases stand to lose from this expropriation without compensation. With no less than unemployment at 5.5 of the work force, with the recent forced devaluation of the dollar, with 60 billion Eurodollars and 3 billion Asia dollars in existence, the economy of the United States is not in good condition. The loss to Kennecott by expropriation of El Tenicntc is also a great loss to the United States economy. By the reckoning of Kennecott, it deserves about $180 million as its part of the net worth of El Tenicntc, and it deserves to be repaid the $92.9 million which it loaned to El of these Teniente. A write-dow- n amounts by Kennecott means an even greater loss to the economy, due to the velocity effect of money. But the greatest loss of all is the loss of respect for law that is generated by acquiescence in what, at this stage, looks like a bold robbery. The rales of law should not be subject to the whims of individual interpretation, lest we return to the law of the jungle. I am requesting that you use the power of your office to determine the facts and to see that justice under generally accepted is principles of International Law done. Justice means equitable results for both Chile and Kennecott. I shall very much appreciate hearing from you regarding this case. Yours very truly T. O. Breitling i Continuing Soviet Victories The Soviets win again. And whenever and wherever they win, we lose. In a war, India backed by the Soviet Union, dismembered Pakistan. Most Americans, even those who know it happened, think so what? But there is a very big what, which goes far beyond the detachment of East Pakistan from the Pakistani central government and the two-wee- k formation of new a independent state, Bangladesh, a vassal of India. Next, border areas of West Pakistan may also be taken and divided up between India and Russia. This would fulfill an g dream of the Russians, to the czars. Russia back going wants more of Southwest Asia. Russia always wants more. Next Afghanistan? Northern Iran? The Soviet Union and India are the balance of power in Asia. And what are we doing? We are feverishly age-lon- - promoting increases tremendous in trade with our number one enemy Russia, and our number two enemy Red China, while we continue to disarm. It now develops that Russian Ambassador Nikolai M. Pegov gave India secret assurances that a Soviet fleet is now in the Indian Ocean, and. . .will not allow the U.S. Seventh Fleet to intervene in the recent Pakistan-India- n altercation. The Soviet Ambassador reportedly promised Soviet military action against both the U.S. and Red China if they intervened on Pakistans side. It is now charged that our policy drove India into Soviet arms and that the pro-Pakist- an strategy is to Kissinger-Nixo- n support Red China against The Real Revolutionary In our world today it is easy to rind onesself labeled by a title exactly opposite to the truth. If a person decides to oppose the existing form of government in our country, in favor of a return to original constitutional government, he is called a revolutionary. The truth of the matter is that he is a patriot. Anyone who favors the socialism of today is a revolutionary. He who favors the government of today is also a traitor to the constitution of the United States as it was originally written. Many people back down from, honorable positions because they do not understand what they really are. John Adams was no revolutionary. He and his fellow patriots based their actions on the common laws and traditions, as British subjects, which had been in force, in most cases, for hundreds of years. King George III and Parliament were revolution Russia. Personally, I is fair dont believe it for anyone to . dogmatically and categorically say which side Henry Kissinger is on. Who can say? Anyhow, here finally is an issue I can agree with the killers of the Kremlin on: Henry Kissinger is a security risk. How To Average Comfortable For a long time the polls have claimed that the majority of the American people have for getting out of Vietnam now. The catch is that the pollsters with customary been diabolical cunning invariably loaded the questions. The choice was they n our efforts continuing in Vietnam, stepping up our efforts, or getting out. The people were not given the only logical choice which could explain our ever going into Vietnam in the first place: to win. We could have won ten years ago, and any- month since, with virtually no casualties, by bombing the Ho Chi Minh Trail and the Haiphong Harbor. Of course, we might have sunk a few British ships, and our Russian gave no-wi- - friends might have been upset. We havent won in Vietnam because we didnt want to. We prefer to help the enemy. I, too, am for getting out completely, if the only other alternative is the treason our leaders have been perpetrating against our country. Claiming that a majority is against the war in Vietnam, given the choices of stalemate versus getting out is like saying that if a man stands with his left foot on a hot stove and his right foot in a bucket of ice water, he is, on the average, comfortable. aries and were, in fact, conducting a revolution against their British citizens in America. We have a similar situation in our country today. Our elected and appointed , officials are conducting a revolution against the citizens and Constitution of the United States. They are governing by presidential edict which is unconstitutional and by Supreme Court ruling, which is also unconstitutional. Politicians are using the earnings of the citizens of the United States to conduct this socialistic revolution designed to enslave those very citizens.

Senator Howard Baker, Jr., the mediocre moderate from east Tennessee, wants the taxpayers to preserve for posterity the fairy stories news labeled by the TV Junior networks. Baker bemoans the fact that although the Library of Congress keeps on file copies of every daily edition of most of the newspapers in the United States, no such record is being kept on national television news. This, he pontificates, is an anachronism of almost inconceivable proportions. He is appalled that the networks dont even file their own news programs. May I suggest. Junior, that - want the networks probably them destroyed? What future generations think they hear Castro and will when Mao -- described as the of their George Washington countries?

Copyright 1972, The American Way Features - cans through a socialistic revolution. The British were the revolutionaries, not the Americans. Today when you stand up for the Constitution of the United States, which many of us believe to be divinely inspired, make sure you realize that you are the patriot. Those who misuse you are the revolutionaries. They know this and have always known it. They are satanically clever, however, and they know that every patriot they disarm takes them one step nearer to their socialistic goal. words of Josiah Gilbert Holland in God Give Us Men.

Nor did I, of course, mean veterans injured in war. And there are doubtless other grdups which should be excepted. Perhaps this is the wrong approach.
