The Reorganization Bill just passed by the senate by a very narrow margin may in reality develop into a disorganization bill—disorganization of the Union.

Its | program was comprehensive, satisfactory and enjoyable, German people and to prevent the spread of Communism in Central Europe. In Italy, Germany and Japan rights of the people are subject to the mili- tary aims of ruling cliques, which promise the of self-defense and the rigths that belong to the respective nations, Each military dictatorship speaks of liberty and praises justice to stir its people to att#KStipon éther people.

Why at- tack China, Ethiopia, Spain, Austria, or Czechoslovakia. Certainly, if Red Russia is “purged” and “purified” the satellites will fall and even the Jews will have no one with whom to conspire. The three-power. pact, against Com- munism seems not to operate: against Red Russia but, to mean military, action only where there are easy spoils to be plucked.
