Stand The Paper That Dares To Take A Stand OUR ALLIES GOT THE MESSAG- ESchlesingers Map Showing Soviet Attack iTJ Continued from page 1 l,ers comP,eteIy ignores the Soviet superiority ill missile conceded by all to be at least It completely ignores the Soviet superiority in missile megatonnage, conceded by all to be at least The Vladivostok agreement paid no attention to the fact that the gigantic Soviet missiles can destroy our missiles in their silos, but our smaller missiles and MIRVs have no capability to destroy theirs. For the defensive lineup, we are limited to one ABM site in North Dakota, while the Soviet ABM site at Moscow defends twice as many missiles, plus their capital city with seven million people and great industrial, scientific, and government complexes. Finally, there is no provision whatsoever for inspection. The Soviets simply will not tolerate it. Satellite surveillance cannot detect MIRVs within a missile, reloads, or the deployment of mobile missiles. If President Ford and Dr. Kissinger are expecting the American people to fall for such phony equality with the Soviets, they are misjudging the intelligence of the American people. throw-weigh- t, 4-to- 10-to-- -l. l. on-si- te There is no way to read this amazing testimony that our Secretary of Defense has the Soviets advance assurance that, even if given kill six million Americans and destroy our abilitythey to resist or retahate, the Soviets can count on the remaining 204 million Americans continuing to cooperate with the ex-ce- pt Kremlin. accurate term for Schlesingers scenario is rategic surrender, that is, permitting an enemy to e attain a disarming capability us so that he can demand our total military and against political surrender. After we. have passed the preemption point (the point in timeat which the Soviets have achieved a e disarming capability and can credibly threaten a strike to preempt our attempt to build additional weapons), any cooperative relationships we might seek with the Kremlin could only be on the same basis that the slaves in the Gulag Archipelago cooperate with their captors. .. s first-strik- first-strik- Presidential Press Conferences It is time we recognize that presidential press conferences are merely television spectaculars that sometimes mislead instead of inform the public. During President Fords press conference at which he reported on the Vladivostok Summit, he made several misleading statements, and reporters let him get by with them without asking the obvious and relevant follow-u- p questions. President Ford three times said or implied that his Vladivostok 1 agreement put a limitation on MIRVs. This ; is not true. The agreement limited the number of mis siles that can carry MIRVs, but it did not limit the number of MIRVs. There is nothing in the agreement to prevent the Soviets from deploying 25,000 MIRVs if they want to, and they have the capability to do that.

Those words sounded harsh at the time, but recently, I m satisfied the Soviets Elmo Zumwalt said are cheating, and I they accurately express the way President Ford played out his role on the world stage at Vladivostok in believe most intelligence specialists believe theyre November 1974. cheating. We were led to believe by the Ford Administration Since President Ford played in the Rose Bowl and is an epert on football, let s help him to understand, a that the Soviets made some kind of concession in agreby football analogy, just what he conceded to Brezhnev. eing not to count the forward-base- d planes that we Let s assume that the coach of a grade school football have in Europe.

After all. the big abandonments were the giving away of strategic eastern Europe at the Yalta Conference table, and the huge population and land mass of China. Thus Cuba and Cambodia seem like small potatoes indeed, and the politicians seem amazed that any of us care. In fact, so contemptuous are they of the intelligence of Americans that they use the same old deceptions which were used to pull the wool over our eyes in China and Cuba. We are told the enemy may not be Communist. Purely a civil rebellion, the existing government is corrupt (the Communists much better!), etc., etc. Its an old record but it has worked so well in the past, I believe there will be an accounting if not at the polls, then surely in Heaven. Mosiah Hancock records in his journal a vision of those prepared to come to earth and destined to achieve positions of leadership. "What do you wish to be? He would sometimes say, I wish to be a judge, or an officer of high rank among the people' Then he would be asked, Will you sustain the laws of God and also the rights of all mankind? and the answer in every instance was. Yes. In my heart I believe Mosiah was right. We cannot with impunity willingly see our fellow humans be deprived of either material or spiritual well-bein- g. When we return to the heavens those responsible will be' asked what they did to sustain the rights of all mankind.

Today the only category in which we still lead Russia on the seas is in aircraft carriers. Russia, since the days of Lenin, has displayed an unflagging interest in the bottlenecks of the world's waterways such strategic points as the Suez and Panama Canals, the Gulf of Oman (controlling the Persian Gulf), the strait of Malacca, Gibraltar. With Jaynes reliable reports chronicling the decline of American seapower, the loss of our present control of the Panama Isthmus would be a staggering blow to our mastery of the oceans surrounding us. It would imperil our position in the Caribbean, where we have failed, and ceased to try, to eliminate Russias beachhead in Cuba. It is not that Russia has not warned us. Admiral Sergey of the Soviet Navy has told us Gorshkoff, Commander-in-Chie- f that the day is not far distant when it will be dangerous for imperialist navies to intervene anywhere, Did he have in mind the Indian Ocean where Madame Gandhi has tried to shut us out of our tiny projected base in Diego Garcia, while Ceylons Communist ruler has welcomed Soviet fleets to Ceylon? Or was he thinking of Panama, where the U.S. is allowing itself to be frightened out of its own Canal by the political cockroach Torrijos? The inexcusable haste with which Kissinger is rushing us into departure from the Cbnal Zone makes us wonder whether he understands Russia, and its world aims, at all, despite his pedantic books. -- Harold Lord Varney - crimes against Patrick Hale Salt Lake City, Utah STOP ABORTION I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!
