Editor's note: The Yegua
Philosopher on his Johnson
grass farm on Yegua Crash
must have a touch of indigos*

Dear editar:

has been workin toward a war
machine since the last war or how
careless the United States, Eng-
land, France, and all the rest have
been in lettin our machine run

thing about international affairs,
which doesn’t necessarily disqual-
ify me for talkin about em, a pri-
vate citizen has as many rights as
a Congressman in this country, in
fact I don’t
even know
anything much
about national
affairs, state
affairs, county
affairs, pre-
cinct affairs,
farm affairs,
well I do
know a little
about farm af-
fairs but I
don’t intend to J*
employ that
knowledge, you run your business
and I’ll run mine, is my policy, if
I’d wanted to farm any better I’d
a started years ago, but what I
started out to say is that while I
don’t know anything about inter-
national affairs, I know a little
somethin about human nature.
And one of the things I know
is that Stalin ain’t no fool, that is,
in the long run he may turn out
to be one, but with the experience
of Hitler still fresh in his memory,
with the futility of one nation’s
attempt to whip the world still
starln him in the face, he ain’t
gonna try it.
issue of your paper from year
before last that Russia can’t whip
us. She could do us a lot of dam-
age but she couldn’t whip us and
hold us.
Therefore, when everybody,
even me, knows Russia is supplyin
the material to help the Chinese
fight the Korean war, will some-
body tell my why we should use
up men and energy scrappin over
unidentified ridges in Korea? Un-
derstand, there may be a valid
reason, and if it’ll prevent an all-
out bombin war, everybody’s in
favor of the ridge fightin, but if
I was punchin a votin button in
Congress, and understand I’d much
rather punch only a starter button
on a tractor out here on the Yegua,
I’d punch one in favor of tellin
Russia, not China, that if she
doesn’t call off the war in Korea
and the other places she’s nibblin
at, we’ll start deulin with Russia
and forget about the ridges and
gulches we’ve been foolin around
with for over a year.
Of course ain’t nobody asked me
for my opinion. Next week I will
try to get back on somethin lighter
The international situation may be
like the problem of grass in my
crops: the people in a position to
solve it ain’t got the drive to do it
Yours faithfully,
