PRICE OF PEACE -
(Continued from page 2.)
It will mean greatly increased
taxes. It will mean federal control
over . most of oyr human &nd ma-
terial resources. We are willingf
We are ready! We are not afraid!
"That is, most of us are willing
and ready. Unfortunately there
are some groups enjoyipg liberty
in this country who still favor ap-
peasement of Russia. A few of
them hope for Russian victory.
.Since Chinese Communists en-
tered the battle these groups have
held more than a hundred rallies
in Washington, in New York, in
Hollywood, demanding' that the
United Nations get out of Korea,
demanding that the United States
reverse its foreign policy, demand-
ing, in effect, that we let Com-
munism have its way.
These groups are a threat to
our civilization. They are a men-
ace to the general welfare. They
are serving Russia and betraying
this country.
There is no place for them in
this land. This is no time for trai-
tors or the.ir fellow travelers. We
know who they are. We know their
apologists in our own government.
Must Shut Door
We need to shut the door against
them. We need to ferret out their
aiders and abettors. We need to
open every record in the State
Department to expose the Commu-
nists on our federal payroll. If
Senator McCarthy' has done noth-
ing else he has made it clear that
someone in Washington is afraid
of what the records might show.
The Senate investigation to de-
tect alleged Communists in govern-
ment service was rigged to protect
them rather than to expose them.
The people repudiated that white-
wash by defeating Senator Ty-
dings. .
Now it is up to the people more
forcibly than ever. They should
tell the Congress to outlaw Com-
munism, to throw feljow travelers
out of government jobs, to punish
as seditionists those who advocate
violent overthrow of our govern-
ment,
They should assure the patriotic
inen who occupy the pulpits of the
country that parishioners will no
longer support the pulpiteers who
counsel compliance with Russia in
the name of either pacifisfn or re-
ligion.
Parents should no longer send
their boys and girls to colleges
iand universities where in the name
of academic freedom, intellectual
crackpots seek to destroy faith in
our constitutional government and
in the integrity and virtue of our
democratic philosophy.
Freedom Way Crumble
Unless we as individual Ameri-
cans do these things, our funda-
mental citadels of freedom will
crumble and fall or become the
pliant forums for the apostles of
Russian dictatorship.
Then we, too, like the people of
the captice nations behind the
Iron Curtain, shall become the
helpless slaves of the Kremlin,
subject to the orders of the Amer-
ican commissars, deprived of our
property, of our suffrage, of our
free ,speech, of our chance even to
know the truth.
This is a living danger to Amer-
ica. which can be dispelled only if:
we act with courage and intelli-
gence and make known to our
leaders that it is the purpose of
America to fight for individual
freedom, not only here but
throughout the wox'lci.
You have neglected your rights
as a citizen. Employ them or you
will lose your freedoms eventually.
If you lose your domestic free-
• doms you won't be happy in your
job and you can't enjoy your ma-
terial profits.
■* If we lose the struggle with
Russia you won't be running' your
present business, but you will, be
doing the thin'gs the Politburo of
the American Soviet tells you to
do.
Not Too Pleasant
The kind of speech I have made
here does not please me any more
than it does you. I have heard
speakers say that criticism of our
government f and even of* Russia
should stop; that we have a beau-
tiful world and should be talking
about our blessings instead of our
dangers.
I can /not agree with them. I do
Six Bouts Slated

Saba and Brownwood fighters and

ing, Tobe Harris, Tarleton middle-

lene, winner of 47 bouts and
welterweight titleholder of the
Abilene region in 1949.

ston Lackey, Harlan Lans, Fletch-
er Lackey and Tom Tracy.
not think it is war mongering or
unfair politics to lay the lacts
on the table and interpret them
fairly and honestly. Unless the
people are informed they can not
act intelligently and unless they
are interested they will not act
at all until it is too late.
Your American citizenship is
the finest charter of human free-
dom known to man. Unless you
cherish and exercise it you de-
serve to lose your freedoms.
Fa ery one of us, whether em-
ployer or employee, is a soldier in
the line, defending our form of
government and our homeland.
There is no territory behind the
lines.
This is a great land in which we
live. Let each of us do his part
to keep it free.
