Kershner Alarming Contrast The Schacter family of seven all studied Russian before they moved to Moscow in 1968, where Jerry took up his new job. The children attended Russian schools. The whole family made friends with Russian people. They lived as the Russians lived. All of them together have now written a fascinating book, An American Family in Moscow , Little, Brown & Co., telling about life in the leading communist country. It is unbelievably drab and uninteresting. The food is plain and unattractive, and one must stand in line for hours to get it. Clothing is expensive, very plain and with little styling. Housing is very scarce and inadequate. The rooms are small with kitchen and bathroom equipment meager and often inoperative for want of repair. Bad as jt is in Moscow, it is much worse in other parts of the country. But the military equipment is modern, functions well and now exceeds that of any other country, including our own. By contrast, in the United States, we have tempting food in abundance, attractive clothing, beautiful housing and many luxuries that are little known and certainly not available in the socialist countries. needs.

Brown Letters to the Editor Dear Fellow Patriot: note your letter to the Utah Independent favoring Governor George Wallace for president. I must commend you for your realization that the balance of the list of bureaucratic leeches is certainly nothing to choose. I note also that the quote he made in the American Opinion was December I is declining in comparison with that of the USSR. While we are reducing 1971. Alotofthingscanhappenin five years, friend. I have no quarrel our military strength at a frightening rate, the communists are increasing their striking capacity. It would be a bitter joke on us to find out someday that the Russians had denied themselves luxurious living in order to build up their military strength while we, quite heedless of the necessity for survival in a world that has now turned to force rather than to friendly cooperation, have lolled about in our extravagant luxury while failing to maintain military strength adequately to maintain our independence. Surely, for blindness there is no equal to the heedless attitude of our government while the communists focus all their energy on building up their military might. If Nero fiddled while Rome burned, are we doing any better running to cocktail parties, listening to radio crooners, using up our scarce energy in vacation with the John Birch Society(Im not a member) but I generally concur with their viewpoints.

He performed like a real statesman for a while, but then one day a trained assassin got to him the intention being to shut him up for good, for he was beginning to make waves that the Kingmakers didn't like. I have no way of knowing just WHO paid the wages of Mr. Bremer for this job, or where he was given his instruction, but I strongly suspect that federal tax dollars (yours and mine) financed it, but that's another topic for discussion. Regardless of the ways and means it became painfully obvious to Mr. Wallace that the preservation of his life was nothing short of miraculous, and even though he believes in miracles, he decided not to push for a second one. Someone has talked to Mr. Wallace, and obviously he feels constrained to listen and go along with the program. Why, he even apattended with apparent proval a black caucus meeting or two. Undoubtedly he was advised to do so, and it seems to me that slugs can four or five thirty-eigdo wonders to sway the political philosophy of some people. I am not condemning him for changing his political posture, just pointing out the fact that he has.

COMMUNISM I IN k MEXICO Washington Congressman ad- ), Larry McDonald, dressed the House of Represen- tatives today claiming that the marxists that Revolutionary brought Chile to ruin are now threatening to overtake Mexico. He stated that the people of are menaced by the collec- tivization of their property at the insistence of their President, who has placed in high official positions the very communists who brought Chile to disaster. There is no mystery about (D.-Ga.- .how this occurs, stated McDonald. The same individuals float from country to country, planning the Communist takeover of whatever nation is foolish enough to afford them the op- portunity to do so, he explained, The congressman cited evidence that millions of Mexican land farmers, under earlier reforms, have been permitted the use of small plots of land, but are denied any title to them, so that they have neither equity or credit, except what the government may afford them. The government has recently adopted the view that these farmers should work collectively, he said, uWhen they refuse, they are denied credit and, in cases, even thrown 0ff the land they were allowed to use; He said other farmers who do possess their land are being jected to organized campaigns of intimidation and violvence. The tactics are precisely those used to bring ruin to Chilean agriculture, stated McDonald. Small wonder, since the program is being run by the same individuals. We ought to consider what it would mean to the United States to have Mexico in the condition of Allendes Chile, or Castros Cuba, A situation so McDonald. U.S. close to the border would be nothing short of disastrous, he concluded. sub-Mexi- co s R A. n :s |
