HOWELL To the Editor You may be interested to know that as a result of the advertisement advertisement advertisement adver adver- carried in recent issues of the Messenger and Ephraim Enterprise the local group of the Mothers' Mothers Crusade for Victory Victory Victory Vic Vic- tory over Communism has met with excellent response from citizens who are concerned about our country sending goods to Communist countries which permits them in turn to send military supplies etc for use against our sons fighting in Viet Nam We Ve think it is high time we stop supplying our enemies while they send our boys home in boxes We must win this war and as quickly as possible The Mothers' Mothers Crusade is becoming becoming becoming be be- coming more widely recognized throughout the nation every day We Ve have just been advised by our national president Mrs J J. J A. A Conant of Phoenix Arizona Arizona Arizona Ari Ari- zona the women and men in every state in the Union are carrying the petitions It is expected expected expected ex ex- that by next spring we can mobilize women from allover allover all allover over the United States and go to Washington DC D.C. armed with over two million signatures on the petitions asking that legislation legislation legislation legisla legisla- tion be passed immediately to stop trading with Communist countries that are sending supplies supplies supplies sup sup- plies to North Viet Nam and the Viet Cong Congo Mrs Conant is a very prominent prominent prominent prom prom- nationally known figure Last year she was Arizona president president president pres pres- ident of the American Legion Auxiliary and i in 1964 she was Arizona Adzona State president of the Federated Women's Clubs Other Other Other Oth Oth- er prominent women in every state are joining the Mothers' Mothers Crusade The Mothers groups have sent letters to President Johnson and to all US U.S. Senators and Representatives Representatives Representatives and state groups are sending letters to the governors and state legislators The female of the species is aroused and intend to do something about it in spite of the apathy in some areas and they will eventually in their efforts to stop trading with our enemies while we are at war All thinking Americans must realize that the nature of the goods we are sending Russia and her satellites help their economy and frees more of their resources resources resources re re- re- re sources to produce weapons to kill our boys We are repeating the mistake we made in World War Var II when we sent scrap iron ironto to Japan only to have it come comeback comeback comeback back in the form of bullets etc at Pearl Harbor Last July and August twelve export licenses were issued autho authorizing izing shipment shipment shipment ship ship- ment of nearly five and a half million dollars worth of scrap copper to Yugoslavia at times when copper was vitally needed in this country with the VietNam VietNam Viet VietNam Nam war in progress This is only a small item compared to all the machinery technical data etc we have shipped to Communist nations Russia is reportedly conducting conducting conducting conduct conduct- ing a huge lift air-lift to North Viet VietNam VietNam VietNam Nam and controlled Communist-controlled areas of Laos And as the Joint Chiefs of Staff have charged if Russia is allowed to pour arms into irto North Viet Nam by air or orsea orse sew sea se thousands of Americans will die needlessly in South Viet Nam It just doesn't make sense to aid and comfort Com Com- countries on one hand and be fighting them on the other other other oth oth- er hand Like Rep Dole of K Kansas has stated We strongly strong strong- ly believe in providing food for peace but just as strongly deplore deplore deplore de de- de- de providing food for war And we must agree with Gen who has said That in fighting an enemy one must deny him the weapons he uses and that might include a spool of or thread if it helps him The US U.S. Constitution states that giving AID and COMFORT TO THE ENEMY IS TREASON Article III Section 3 Communist Communist Communist success means our destruction destruction destruction tion why then should we help Communism to win It is hoped that every
