Show IfKrTLE Creek .'V There's one thing you con say about Old Khrushie, he's smart. Even after his recent disgraceful table-pounding antics at the U.N. he was almost the first to congratulate con-gratulate Jack Kennedy on his success Nov. 8. In a telegram to our young President-elect, Mr. K sent con- . gratulations and best wishes. "I hope," said the wily Communist kingpin, "that we can return to the cordial relations that our two nations enjoyed when Franklin D. Roosevelt was president." Wouldn't that be just ducky? As we can all recall, without too much brain-racking, during World War II and at the final dividing up of the spoils at Potsdam, Uncle Joe Stalin walked off with practically everything he asked for, including Uncle Sam's striped strip-ed shirt. Food, clothing, guns, ammunition, ammuni-tion, trucks, tanks, locomotive's, cars and the ships to haul them. Considerable of this vast quantity of American produce was an outright out-right gift; but some of it was on the "lend-lease" plan. If any small part of this borrowed material ma-terial has ever been returned, your writer has never heard of it. During the final phases of World War n American soldiers brought Hitler to his trembling knees and were poised and ready to take Berlin. Were our dough- ! ! ! - boys allowed to do so alone? No, Uncle Joe's troops were permitted to march in and share in the glory. And they are still there making trouble for us at every . turn of the wheel. Also, according to the Potsdam agreements, the Russians were given control over Mongolia, which had been overrun by the Japanese. The Communists still have all of that, too. Well, friends and brethren, the return, to the "cordial relations" of the 1940's would be just fine for Khrushie and his scurvy henchmen. But not so good for Uncle Sam and the rest of the free nations. Mr. K reminds me of a school teacher I knew years ago. Whenever When-ever there was a change in the administration a new superintendent, superin-tendent, supervisor or principal, this character -was always the first to congratulate him. Not only that, but the political pedagogue would continue his . buttering up tactics at every op-- op-- portunity. It payed off, too, in special favors and considerations from the top educational brass. Our Mr. Kennedy is a young-man young-man and new to the job. Khrushie is old, experienced, crafty and a master of the double-cross and rough-and-tumble street fighting. "Watch your step, Jackie Boy, watch your stop." So long 'til Thursday. |
