‘ In the Mail Bag May 18, 1950. - The Syracuse-Wawasee Journal, - Syracuse, Indiana. Gentlemen: ’ As a veteran of World War I I i can say only this: What is the matter with our much loving country, the U. S. A.? • Are we sober or 99.44 per cent drunk? We were foolish enough to enter World War I and we lost many billions of dollars and won nothing. In World War I was lost about 12 billion dollars which, we loaned to other nations and never got it back. It was a total loss to Uncle Sam’s treasury. Jn World War II we lost not 12 billion dollars but many, many, many times more. In all we lost about 280 billion dollars and won nothing. In World War I we American workers did not have to pay extortitant federal tax. We had to buy a few war bonds and it was enough to defeat Kaiser Wilhelm, his Prussian generals and field marshals and the Gherman Wehrmacht. In World War 11, we the American workers 60 million of us were able to buy most of the war bonds in the hope that madman Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Hirohito and their armies on the battlefield will be completely overpowered or destroyed by a superior military power and that Nazi Germany. Italy, Japan and their allies will have to foot the bill for the prosecusion of World War 11. Now, is it just about time for us millions of American workers, to exchange our war bonds for cash four dollars for every three dollars invested in War bonds. Can it be done sometime next year or in 1951 or in 1952? 'We doubt it! it cannot be done for the following reasons: 1. We are not balancing our national debt,-by pouring billions of dollars to Europe, Asia and Africa in order to fight bolshevism and communism. 2. We are not balancing our national debt by pouring two billion dollars to National China (page Marshall Plan) and then to abandon Chiang Kai Shek Chinese government so the Chinese Reds may take the whole China plus Formosa. The Nationalist China does not exist anymore so what? So we American taxpayers lost more than two billion dollars. Who is to blame for our reckless expenditures? Shall we blame Uncle Joe Stalin? The answer is NOT exactly! 3. We are not balancing our national debt by pouring of billion dollars to as many countries in Europe in order to “fight communism.” In other words, we are not fighting nor reducing communist activities by sending billions of American taxpayers money as a “free gift” to anyone in Europe who is willing to say “I am fiot a communist. Give me a few good American free cigars, ham and eggs, plus a few 10 or 20 dollar bills and I will try to fight communism.” That is exactly what we are doing now. 4. Worst of all, we are not reducing our national debt by selling billions of dollars of “brand new” bonds. We are just going down into the hole deeper and deeper.

could be happy and prosperous if the government is spending more money than it takes in from the taxpayers. Our present miserable failure when it comes to balancing our national debt is our Marshall Plan, a national headache to all of us. Shall we feed hungry Germans, Italians, Japanese and our other former enemies who tried to destroy us and our liberties? If it is true that our former enemies are too hungry then let them go hungry, they asked for it! We need our own Marshall Plan at home in order to stop selling bonds and to start balancing our national debt. If we could not learn of how to balance our national already outstanding debt of many, many billions of dollars then we are “kaput.” Kaput means finished in Hitler’s language. 5. We are not balancing our national debt by riding or pushing our Gay 90’s high covered wagons in every big cities and towns in the U. S. A., asking our housewives, factory workers, steel mill and foundry workers and farmers to buy more, more and more government bonds in order to “stop communism.” By doing it, .1 mean by poring additional billions of dollars as a “free gift” to other countries we are not stopping communism. We are promoting it. A very expensive and dangerous promotion, I should say. 6. We are not balancing our national debt by forgetting the slogan of our “Monroe Doctrine” America for Americans, and keep out of unnecessary foreign entanglements that may cause us more harm than good. 7. And| we are not balancing our national debt by giving billions of dollars, again I should say, as a “free gift” to John Bull, Mademoiselle France, Turkey, Greece and other countries calling us “rich Uncle Shylock.” We must stop our reckless spending at once and w e must
