are not yet perfect- but they saw the
rea l benefits ofcommunism cannot be
experienced and enjoyed
untíl
the
whole world has becomecommuníst.
Now as to Russian Communíst
strategy. They admit they cannot
conquer
al/
nations without one final
all-out milítary war . To them that is
the LAST RESORT, but that
ÍS
the
prima ry reason for keeping the
Soviet Union military strength at
either No.
1
or No. 2 in the world.
Their first approach however is
EDUCATION.
It
is not alone education
in communism. It is, first, education
on the EVILS of other systems {which
a re many). Second is on the advan–
tages of communism.
Then comes guerrilla warfare.
This was used in South Vietnam, and
U.S. milítary forces were untraíned
a nd no match for that kind of war.
AMERICA DIO NOT WIN-she pulled
out! The Communists have taken
what American soldiers fought and
died to protect! 1 wonder WHEN
America wi!l WAKE UP!
Among Communist teachings,
which 1 read in the U.S . Communist
Party study course (about 50 years
ago) , are that the END justífies any
means. Communísts are taught to líe,
to misrepresent, to líe under oath, to
use any pretense or deception to wín
a poínt.
YOU'D BE SURPRISED íf you knew
how many Russian Communists are
kept as full-time spies in the United
Na tions building in New York! Or
for that matter, even as full-time
career diplomats in the S tate Depart–
ment in Washington. The man who
approved and issued my press pass at
the San Francisco Conference in
1945, a leader in the State Depart–
ment , was later tried for being a
Communist agent.
So much for that brief sketch of
the history and methods of Commu–
nism.
But WHAT Now? In what manner
a re we sitting on a whole flock of
smoking hydrogen bombs?
President Carter first put a grain
embargo on Russia. Of course that
hurt somewhat, but they expected
that, and decided the results were
worth it. Next he has virtually boycot–
ted the Olympic Games scheduled to
be held in Russia thi s summer. Sure,
that hurt too-but as 1 said before,
they took that as a calculated risk. The
April 1980
United Nations passed a resolution
against them. But they have felt the
stakes are high enough to be worth it.
Now the oil-rich Arab nations passed
a resolution against them. But 1 can
hear Mr. Brezhnev saying with a
smile, "Well , how many divisions do
theArab nations have?"
Where the DANGER lies is thi s:
President Carter has said that the
Persian Gulf is a n American VITAL
INTEREST. He has threatened even
mílitary action if the Russians viola te
it by moving into the Persian Gulf.
Look at a ma p. Most all oil–
producing Arab nations export theír
oil through the Persian Gulf! Whoev–
er controls the Persian Gulf controls
the world's OIL!
Those stakes are pretty high! The
Kremlin knows it! How far will they
gamble?
Look at the record. Under Presi–
dent John Kennedy the United
States used military force to BLOCK–
ADE CUBA! Moscow knew that was
only the first step. A President who
dared do that was COMMITTED to go
FARTHER if the Russians engaged
U.S . blockading ships. And THAT
would have been a war
in the U.S.
area of the world!
What have l always said? 1) The
Russians DO NOT want a nuclear
all-out war with the Uníted States
yet!
So the Russians backed off, for,
2) they will back off in face of an
equal or superior military force .
THAT'S THE ONLY LANGUAGE THEY
UNDERSTAND!
Recently in President Carter 's
administration, it became known the
Russians had armed military men in
Cuba. Mr. Carter warned them-a
sort of slap on the wrist. They only
smiled and left their troops-and
they are STILL THERE! There are
other times recently when Mr. Car–
ter has talked, and DONE NOTHING.
You may be sure the Russians are
weighing all this carefully. IF they
proceed now through Pakistan into
the Persian Gulf,
would
the United
States fight ? Frankly 1 doubt it. In
any war short of NUCLEAR power, we
cannot match the Russians in the
Persian Gulf- in
their
backyard!
Yet
if
the Russians do go ahead,
the only kind of war we can match
them in ÍS ALL-OUT NUCLEAR WAR.
The United States should start by
