This threat needs to be publicized, and not deadened by the delusion of detente. However, if one will simply read all that is written about Communism in the Encyclopedia Brittanica. available in school and public libraries, the basic danger will be pretty well And knowledge is understood. power. What is NOT understood is that neither Russia nor China is apt ever to assault America with landing craft and conventional armies. As this writer sees it. Russia could not venture into a large war because of the danger of revolt by its own slave people, and the nations it holds cap- Rumania. tive Hungary. Czechoslovakia. Poland, Bulgaria, others. Such internal revolt w'ould result in the sabotage of the Russian MILITARY-INDUSTRIA- L COMPLEX". By wrecking just the trans-Siberirailroad, that 4.498 mile lonely link between East and West Russia, and China, a Russian military action would be aborted. Also, if real enmity does exist between Russia and China (there is reasonable doubt) neither of them could get involved in a large scale war with other nations because of mutual fear of the huge combat forces allegedly deployed along the vast expanse of the Russo-Chines- e border. China can afford the manpower for an overseas war. but lacks the navy to transport and supply it. Russia does NOT have the manpower to fight a conventional war. simultaneously police its slave states, and maintain its China border guard. It seems doubtful that either China or Russia would make a first strike nuclear attack on each other or on America. From what information 1 have been able to gather, if either nuclear power attacked one of the others with sufficient force to wreck strategic cities and harbors, enough fall-omight be released into the earths circulating air currents to make life impossible even in the attacking countries.

(2) Communism, avoiding major conflicts, is slowly gaining control over smaller nations. If it takes over, eventually, all but the United States, we will be isolated and helpless without the raw materials we must have to exist as a defensible modern nation. (3) The communists have mounted a shocking effort to destroy our morals and morale, hoping we will be more likely to yield to eventual encirclement and blackmail. This is being done by the infiltration of our institutions. Witness the changes in our public schools, which no longer teach virtue, free enterprise, pride of country, and the need to have a good working knowledge of our own English language, and of mathematics. Instead our children are forced to absorb texts written by communists, radicals, perverts and criminals. The object of this brainwashing could only be to cause our children to become spineless adults with the warped fixation that America is just another' country" therefore not worth fighting to preserve. Better Red than Dead!!" It will not be possible to destroy the Communist conspiratorial giant w ith one stone, as David slew Goliath. But we can render him helpless in another way by cutting off a foot here, a hand or even a finger there, until we render him helpless until his very size and bulk will be his handicap. Lets get rid of his spy nest, the United Nations. Lets clean him out of the schools our taxes support. Lets do WHAT CAN BE DONE, and DO IT NOW.

Despite the fact that our pay rates, including wages, interest and dividends on our savings, were never higher we havent got the dollars to replace cars, let alone pay for other needs. We know this because we are all experiencing it as individuals, but the same thing is happening to industry and that we do not seem to understand. Businesses also are unable to replace their old equipment and plants with new ones that would be more efficient and productive. Taxes reduce their profits by 50 percent. Everyday business costs for materials, labor, fuel, insurance and so on, are rising so fast there just isnt enough money left to replace obsolete and wornout equipment and plants; and these costs of replacements have risen as fast as new car prices. Businesses are in just as tight a squeeze even with high profits as individuals are even with high wage rates. - and the rubber-stam- p Congress for the labor bosses is . elected, the is leadership AFL-CI- O attempting disclaim responsibility their creation.

President Fords message to Congress on the economy sounded like a man trying to patch an innertube full of holes while the stem was missing .from the valve. No matter how many holes he patched, the tire would end up flat until the stem was replaced. The stem of this countrys inflationary problems is not a five percent tax surcharge on anyones income. It is not more of gas. It is not more production of food by food growers, nor making $3 billion available to the hou :.ng industry. It is not adding 13 weeks of unemployment insurance benefits to those out of work. It is not vigorous laws or the reduction of foreign oil enforcement of anti-truimports or any of the other things recommended by the President. Any and all of these suggestions might be worthwhile, but they are secondary remedies only; and achieving one or all of them will be just so much whistling in the wind until a serious effort is made to cut back on federal spending. This is the stem of the nations economy. Plug up the valve from which flows billions of dollars, and then an effort can be made to patch the other minor holes in the economy. But as long as presidents and congressmen continue to insist that their pet projects not be deleted from the federal budget, as long as those who make laws continue to turn out speeches in favor of federal economy but return to Washington to vote the spending of more federal dollars, there can be little relief from the inflation that is stifling this country and doing great harm to its citizens. President Ford said that he would not play politics with the future of this country. For that statement, he got a rousing, standing ovation from members of Congress, all of whom were trying to tell a nation-wid- e television audience: Ya dern tootin, Gerald, and thems my sentiments exactly. It was a spectacle that should have sent adrenalin charging through the bodies of all Americans watching. But politics have played such an part in this countrys past that one tends to ponder automatically on hearing such statements just the reverse of that which was intended. If the President really wants to get politics out of the countrys future, he could have ridden the horse of reduced federal spending right into the hearts of Americans everywhere. The idea of taxing again those people who have become over bearing the cost of operating this country finds little to recommend it. The middle-incomehave no relief in federal subsidies, free food, food stamps, scholarships for children based on need alone and the many have. And other methods of assistance which the neither is their income so abundant as to put them in a bracket that another tax wouldnt matter one way or another. The middle American once again finds the millstone around his neck, even as the water rises.

He heard the evidence and then he presented his miles-per-gall- Congress.
