In the Mail Bag Syracuse, Ind. July 4, 1950 The Syracuse-Wawasee Journal, Syracuse, Indiana. Gentlemen: l| seems to me that we are drifting closer and closer toward World War 111. I hope I am wrong! But the fact is: Our young sons are already in a shooting war in Korea. Some of them already six foot under ground and many more will die. Is it true that 25 million people in North and South Korea are much better than 475 million Chinese in China? We spent more than 2 billion dollars in China trying to save Chiang Kai Chek’s Nationalist China from the Chinese (Russian supported) Communist Red armies. We failed miserably in China as we did elsewhere. Knowing the fact that it will be impossible to save 475 million Chinese, our ruling circles in Washington, D. C., finally decided to abandon China after we spent more than 2 billion dollars there. It was a waste of our money! In other words, China was delivered on a golden platter to the U. S. S. R. If China was not worth to send our big bombers and our troops there in order to fight and “liquidate” Chinese Communists then why are we sending our bombers and thousands of our young men to South Korea? Is it true that South Korea, just about as big as the state of Indiana worth fighting for? The answer is no! The United Nations (Union of Nothing is a right name) and its U/ N. Security Council requested or rather ordered our ruling circles in Washington, D. C., to send American planes, ships and soldiers to Korea in order to /~4tck north Korean Communists. If we are to obey instructions and orders from the U. N. then how about our state and federal courts and the U. S. Supreme Court and our Congress? Shall we abolish our institutions in Washington, D. C., discard our Congress and Senate and our courts of justice and be judged and supervised by U. N. and its Security Council? We, Americans don’t want to be ruled and regulated by foreign political organizations like U. N. by sending our troops, planes, guns and ships to South Korea President Truman took the military law into his own hands by ignoring U. S. Congress. He made a mistake! Only the U. S. Congress has a right and power to declare war—not the president. We learned out bitter and very costly lesson in China. That Was not enough I guess! We cannot lick all the Communists all over the world by spending billions of dollars. I am not a Communistic pro-bono-publico and never was one of them. I don’t want any of that stuff. Being a correspondent of several different language foreign newspapers opposed to Communism,. I can say only this: If I were in Communist Russia, I would -not last 59 minutes. But as long as I am living and working and getting my ham and eggs and juicy pork chops in the U. S. A., the country where I was born 59 years ago, I am safe right here and Uncle Joe Stalin’s “firing squadst” could not even scratch the tip of my nose, no joke! Yes, we are sending our troops to South Korea. What does it mean? This means we are making trouble for ourselves and this trouble may pull us into World War 111. What then? Big shots in Moscow’s Kremlin all ready hollering like Russian wolf hounds, demanding withdrawal of bur troops from Korea under the pretex that Korean trouble “must be settled by the Koreans without any foreign intervention.” A good many American people are of the same opinion especially American mothers whose sons may die on Korean battlefields today or tomorrow. Let the Koreans cut their own throats like the Chinese did for many years. We have nothing in Korea that may be useful to us. Both North and South Korea with their treeless hills and mountains are noth-) ing but Asia’s “poorhouse.’; There is nothing in Korea which we need; not even enough rice to go around. Shall we fight for them and feed them now? We are already supplying one half of the world with “free American dollars” (page Marshall Plan) plus our free coal, meat, grain, clothand what have you to give to other nations as a “free gifts” at our expense. Shall we add Korea to our long list of lucky nations getting our free gifts and calling us Uncle Shylock? That is exactly what we are doing now in South Korea where we have no business to be. In the past five years we spent many, many billions of dollars in order to curb Communism in Europe and Asia and to assure independence and “democratic life” in other nations where we have no sphere of influence of any kind. We are wasting our money in this deal everywhere and, at the same time, forgetting our own people and their needs. Why don't we spend more money at home and quit once and for all to be international banker?

SYRACUSE-WAWASEE JOURNAL, Syracuse, Ind.

PAPAKEECHIE LAKE The Maurice Lung’s are in residence, in an apartment over their Bait Store. Their cottage is taken for the summer by Mr. and Mrs. J. H. MoGarry and family, from Fort 'Wayne. Kent Hare, who can always catch any kind of fish with any old kind of bait, furnished the fish for a Fish Fry, at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Willis Hare, last Sunday. Mr. Hare’s parents, the Raymond Hares, of Nappanee were guests. The spacious grounds of the Leo Kowallik home, will be the setting this week, and next, with Bible School for Papakechie and Wawasee children, who could not get in to the Syracuse Bible School Program. Some young ministerial students, of Goshen College, and some of the young wives of students, are conducting the school. The College sends cars to collect and return the children, for hours of from nine to eleven thirty A. M. This is done by the Young People’s Association. Refreshments are served also, (evidently a big “hit”) by the children’s mothers, cooperating in turn. Perry Hunger, who has been ill in his home north of town, is slightly improved. Year in and year out we are spending more money than we take in from our taxpayers. Our national debt is still going up and up. Stalin likes that too. Now we are fighting an undeclared war in South Korea and weakening ourselves. That is exactly what Stalin wanted. He wanted to pull America into some kind of trouble in the Far East in the hope that it may be possible for Stalin’s 180 divisions of troops, 5 million well-armed men, backed by 74,000 war tanks and 19,000 first line aircraft and 14,000 second line aircraft plus 486 undersea crafts (submarines) to rig up another “Pearl Harbor” somewhere in Europe which can be overrun in a few weeks by Stalins 44 armored (panzer) divisions, or in the Middle Elast, Turkey, Iran and Iraq. Shall we drop a truck load of atomic bombs and kill 3,4, 5 or 10 million North Koreans because they have a Communistic government? It won’t do us any good. Shall we drop another truck load of atomic bombs and kill as many people (non-Russian people) in eastern Finland, eastern Germany, the Baltic States, Poland, Roumania, Hungary, eastern Austria, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and Macedonia all of them under Soviet rule? Lt won’t do us any good. As I have stated in my article printed in the Syracuse-Wawasee Journal, June 2<9th “atomic bomb is not a decisive weapon for war” on a large scale. The- Soviet Union and its Red armies by the dozens could not be defeated by bombers br atomic bombs alone. The Union Socialist Republics having about 11 million square miles of territory controling the lives of 20-0 million people, and dominating more than 600 million other peoples in western Europe and Asia maybe defeated by a continental (world’s) army of not less than 25 million well-armed troops, which is impossible for Uncle Sam, John Bull, Mademoiselle France and their small “Atlantic Pact” nations to mobilize and arm such great armies. At present time we have only 4 divisions in and around Japan. Not enough to start with. In case of World War 111 Stalin’s Communist Empire can mobilize 500 or 600 divisions of troops in the U. S. R., and as many divisions from Red China and other countries dominated by the Soviet land. What can we Americans do with Stalin’s limitless man power and who is going to help us? Opr allies in Europe are of the opinion that rich Uuncle Sam will have to do all the fighting. That is exactly what may be in store for us, if and when comes World War 111. Our allies in Europe may desert us unless we are willing to give them additional 40 or 50 billion dollars as a “free gift” and do all the fighting for them at our expense in lives and money. It is too bad that President Truman can not attempt to consider these things before he ordered thousands of our troops to go to South Korea and to fight North Korean Commies having big help from Stalin’s powerful Far Eastern Red Armies. We are in a jam now! If we lose South Korea, Korean and our soldiers, our light and heavy equipment to the Reds what the? Can we depend on iU. N. (United Nations) to help us solve this dangerous puzzle? The answer is no! Do you remember old days when the League of Nations ordered Benito Mussolini to pull out of Ethiophia “or else?” What happened? Mussolini laughed hard at League of Nations and took Ethiophia. League of Nations did nothing! We are afraid the United Nations are facing another Mussolini in Korea. What will be the result? It is too early to answer this question! Cordially yours, John N. Melnick
