Show ABOVE THE Hullabaloo By LYTLE HULL TO JOHNNIE BULL AND SAMMIE FROM THEIR UNCLE JOE Dear Johnnie and Sammie: I am compelled to write to express o you both my deep appreciation of our cooperation In the matter of Spain. I am aware of course, that fear of being accused of entertaining fascist sentiments has blinded you to the realization that Spain is the key to the fulfillment of my ambitions ambi-tions to Western Europe and the world. For If I can wipe out the present dictatorship In Spain and replace it with my camouflaged puppetswhom pup-petswhom you have both been kind enough to pretend are only innocent socialists I will control the mouth of the Mediterranean and have a stranglehold on the continent which even you little boys can appreciate. I lenow you were both conscious of the fact it was I who put it over you in the United Nations meetings of a couple years ago, where the members were jockeyed into collectively withdrawing with-drawing recognition of the incumbent incum-bent government of Spain. The reasons rea-sons given for this act of generosity to me were that no decent democracy democ-racy should recognize a country which was low enough to allow a dictator to control it, and that it would be unfair to real democracies like Titos and mine to force them to associate with autocracies like Spain. Now I appreciate that, boys I really do though my doctor says hysterics are bad for me. Maybe I should tell you frankly though in the strictest confidence of course that even your old Uncle Joe has toyed with these dictator theories. There now, are you shocked? I even confess to vague tendencies of this kind during the tinie ' we were comrades in arms against the Nazis. Well, those mean old realists, the French, are getting wise to what my acquisition of Spain would mean, and I am afraid they have spriled my best chance for world rule unles.; you will continue to help ms. But I imagine the French will wake you little boys up now, and that will about cook my Western European goose. But you did all you could to help me make the world the playground play-ground for my Slavonic brethren, and I am cic:piy -j-ateful. Don't I .ilways try to show it? |
