Boston | =li- \ And vhen I read these stories, compounded of callousness, ignorance, end perversion, I think of the future strife and misery and needless death to which such propaganda can lead use we shall either concentrate on meeting the needs of people from Rome to Hong Kong or we shall follov’ the course of other empires. As the greatest, . richest, most poverful nation in the world, we have a unique opportunity for services: The vorld is watching use’ It ie time to give a positive demonstration of leadershipe I say that we have nothing to fear, vhich guns can remedy; that ve have nothing to fear which can't be cured by genuinely helping the peoples of the world, If we gat on the side of the people, if we substitute tractors for tenks, and aid to tha pecple for aid to monopolies, Ttaly will not become a dictatorship of either tha Tirht or the Left, But if we stend in the way of reform, if we cater to the interests of American and Italian monopolists, then Italy rill choose communirm or go fascist under the pressure of unresolved problems. “e can't vin if our purpose is to support internneationel big business. It is time for us to cet on the side of the people. I don't want American pressure to force the suppression of democracy. “e spent a lot of American lives and a lot c° money to Liberate Italy, 80 that she could yebuild on a democratic basise I don't yrant us to spend more billions to put her back in the state we found her at Anzio. Our present foreign policy is breeding civil war for Italy, because our present Administration is moro concerned vith the interests of huge monopolies than it is in the welfare of the American people or the Italian | people.
