Show The Paper That Dares To Take A Stand October 20, 1972 OUT By Congressman John G. Schmitz Tbe South Koreans bad four in 1936, it was very convenient divisions along the 38tb Parallel, for him to have Lie as Minister " They bad been well trained, and the personnel were brave and patriotic, but they were equipped and organised as a constabulary force, not as troops of tbe line. They bad only light weapons, no air or naval forces, and were lacking in tanks. artillery, and many other essentials. Tbe decision to equip and organise them in this way bad been made by the State Department. Tbe argument advanced by tbe State Department for its decision was that it was a necessary measure to prevent tbe South Koreans from attacking North Korea, a curious myopic reasoning that. of course, opened tbe way for aNorth Korean attack. ' General Douglas MacArthur, of Justice for Norway. And it was the Soviet delegate who first proposed that Trygve Lie be elected president of the U.N. General Assembly by acclamation, waiving the secret ballot requirement. In view of the fact that the U.N. Undersecretary-Genera- l for Political and Security Council Affairs which includes was then, as he has always been, a Communist, it is no wonder that General military policy MacArthurs Top Secret battle plans for hitting the enemy at their home bases became public knowledge within a very short time after they were sent to Those plans were rejected and General MacArthur . who wanted to win, was relieved Reminiscences and brought home. After that, General MacArthurs no further offensive action was observations are very significant undertaken in Korea under in light of what became the either Presidents Truman or first military operation in Eisenhower, although General American history to be directed Mark Clark later reported that outside of American sovereignty thc Communists there were an internationalist under command, which presided over War II the first post-W'orld disaster that would bring us closer to accommodation and surrender by merging into a socialist government. That military operation was, of course, the Korean War under United Nations command. It should 'have been no surprise to Americans familiar with the history of international communism and of Marxists throughout the world when one-wor- ld Secretary-Genera- l Trygve Lie called on the United Nations to get America involved in the first of our no win wars. As Isaac Don Levine pointed out in his book, Tbe Mind of an Lie had visited Assassin, Moscow in 1921 and, according to Trotsky, had been identified with the Comintern in early Washington. The UTAH INDEPENDENT of th unfriendly to the USSR. During those few days that Lodge asked for, one of the most brutal massacres in the history of the world took place in Hungary', crushing the peoples spirit so completely that they now accept slavery in virtual silence. The same policy was followed in our most recent no win war in Vietnam. At the time of thc recent North Vietnamese military invasion of the South, a State Department representative who spoke at a large-sca- le luncheon for Members of Congress and their staffs was asked why, when we knew weeks ahead of the time that an all-oattack was coming, we did not act to stop it before it started. The answer was: We wanted them to come through so we could expose them as ut And our Air Force commander in Vietnam, General John D. Lavelle who, like General MacArthur, wanted to act and in fact did act to prevent the loss of life by attacking the staging areas for the invasion was, like General MacArthur, aggressors. Congressman John G. Schmitz says that U. S. is involved in wars due to membership in United Nations. (R-Ca- relieved of his command .) and retired from the service. This is how the American mind and spirit are being conditioned to accept and substitutes for victory ultimately to see the price of peace as surrender of U.S. sovereignty to the United Nations or whatever government been destroyed by an offensive. Then in 19S6 the Hungarian people rose up and briefly threw off the Soviet Communist yoke. Soviet leaders had to know what, if anything, the U.S. and the U.N. were going to do. before sending in Russian tanks to crush the freedom fighters, The Hungarians were pleading for our help every hour, on the hour. But our U.N. Ambassador at the time, Henry Cabot Lodge, suggested to the Security Council on November 1, 1956 that they adjourn for several days to give the Hungarians and Russians time to resolve their differences, while the U.S. State Department sent a telegram to Communist butcher Tito stating that the United States looked with disfavor on Liberty Monument & by Ogden Kraut Frederic Auguste Bartholdi In Paris, just slightly more than a hundred years ago, a listened intently to the small but important group of Frenchmen met at the home of the noted professor and writer, Edouard de Laboulaye. With earnest enthusiasm Laboulaye talked of a monument that should be built as a symbol of the liberty which the Americans and the French have loved so well. It should be a project combining the efforts of both natins, Laboulaye said. He spoke with much feeling as he reiterated the stories of the French and Americans who fought side by side during the Revolutionary War for independence. One of theWorld's distinguished restaurants... impressive words. He was a young sculptor, and to him was to be given the task of designing this international colossus. It would be a token of friendship between the two countries aiid a symbol of freedom for all nations. Bartholdis first assignment would be to go to America and announce the news of this new undertaking, and then select site for its construction. As his ship neared the New York harbor, his eyes caught a glimpse of Bedloe Island. Thats the spot for my statue, he remarked, as he sketched a figure of a woman on a scrap of paper. It will be the largest statue ever built, and I a will name it Liberty, enlightening the world, he declared. Returning to Paris, Partholdi went immediately to his good friend Alexandre Eiffel, Th only rMtaurant in Utah honored and racommondod by American Express and Gourmet Magazine.

The large arm and torch of the er I I I I I I L. Principle Statue of Liberty arrived in New York in 1876. Over a million people came by to see the statues fingers larger than a man. Everyone supposed it was going to be a kind of lighthouse. In 1878 the head arrived and was pulled by twelve horses to the worlds fair. Finally on July 4, 1884, the completion and the acceptance ceremony took place.

The President of the United States appointed Senator Evart to speak at the dedication; then when signaled, Bartholdi who was up in the torch was banner to cut the large which draped the statue. During a patriotic expression by Evart, the crowd clapped and cheered; Bartholdi thought it was his signal, and down came the big banner. Ships in the harbor saw it fall and began to blow their whistles. These signalled the cannons to fire, and then the band began to play. No one heard the end of the speech. The massive graceful lady, whose flowing robe reached to her feet, stood 305 feet from the torch to the base of the pedestal, to become the largest statue ever built.
