wrong ,and that Christianity alone is, the sole salvation of humanity... Christ was not the originator of his philsophy. N _. Beople talk about Communists and fascists and other "ists" as being agents of e foreign country, I say, that I would classify Catholicism in this countr¥ or any country as an agent of. the Vatican and its dictator, the Yope. Most of the Orthodox . Cetholic# homes have the picture of the Pope hanging on the wall, . The Catholic's first duty and obedience, therefore is to the ope and the Vatican. The Popes through the centuries have been the most ruthless and the shrewdest and the sinisterest politi- cians whose intrigues were behind every major bloody war, Anti-semitism has been their favorite sport. About the Wallace affair. Youx are as untruthful ebout him as you are ignorant. He is one of the few honest and great humanitarians in this hypocritical world of ours. He is hated by his enemies because he stands for peece. Our current hysterical atmosphere can be traced to a subconscious, but nevertheless overwhelming desire for another war; for the simple reason thet the last war is indelibly linked in our minds with prosperity, more money, better clothes, better food, better living in general and last but certainly not the least-- more excitement, - ; American ' @ur losses were comparatively slight; (for every Ruxstzn soldier 14 Russian soldiers dieal in battle); our physical gains were tremendous. Now that the war is over, and we are beginning to feel the pinch resulting from shortcomings of our peacetime economy, we have cast about for’e potential enemy, and naturally we seized upon: Russia. It takes little difference to point out that the next war . will probably destryy all of us. It didn't the last time, aid it‘ We won, didn't we? We have the atomic bomb, haven't we, We have subconsciously been drawn to the xim# sole alternative of peace with breadlines, or war and the abundant life that .proceeds from it. As far as I am concerned, three years in the Army with twice overseas, will do me for a lifetime. I am a conscientious objector as far as violence and war is concerned, : I am indcotrinating my son along these lines, . Calling Wallace a Communist is another ignorent remark, because it has become a sreat past-time of "patriotic" Ameridhs to foul a man's good name. Reactionaries who have been satu- rated in the anti-Russian hate gospel, naturally geel it their duty to belittle a man like Wallace who Knows tha% pesce is possible only if there is e little more of the Golden Rule practiced and e little less of mtionalism: Wallace represents the hope of the “forld for peaee. -In him is a chence, perhaps the only chance-- for the little people of the world to work out their problems so thet 2 better life, not premature death in an atomic-bacteriologic war, is achieved, , Because he is so completely honest, because he is so tolerant of the rights of others, he is seining deil in prestige among the ordinary folks, , ° vs ; ~ ° —~2-
