against the Congo struggle

Warning against any new
imperialist aggression against
the Congo, either by overt sup-
port of Belgium colonialism, or
for their own special interests,
Soviet Chairman Nikita Khru-
shchev, in reply to an appeal
for aid by President Joseph
Kasavubu, and Prime Minister
Patrice Lamumba of the new
Congo Republic, declared ear-
lier:

“The demand of the Soviet
Union is simple: hands off the
Congo Republic.”

The. Soviet leader added:
“The Soviet Union whole-

heartedly wishes the lawful

A new emphasis is appearing from U.S. St te Department propaganda Sources.
Stewart Alsop, long recognized as an “inside maw” on State Department views, gives
this line the full treatment in an article in Saturday Evening Post, and reprinted by

the Vancouver Sun.

Using the film “On the
Beach” as a whipping boy,
he Claims that the assumption

there is no protection against

& lot of nonsense.” Speaking
Of the two central characters
in the film, Dwight and Moira,

occur to them, while the radia-
tion died away to a sublethal
level” — ‘Radioactivity from
fallout dies very quickly’—
“the average American citizen
would run about the same risk
as a combat infantryman in
Europe in the last war. But
after all, in the past a great
many Americans have accept-
ed that degree of risk where
liberty was at stake.” And
then the punch line; ‘As long
as our national power is whol-
ly concentrated in the nuclear
weapons, as it is now, we must
be prepared to use these
weapons in the national inter-
est.”

The need therefore arises to
play down the danger of nu-
clear war and radiation, and
condition the minds of the
people for such a holacaust.

The master having spoken,
his servants jump to obey.
Mayor Tom Alsbury, while
cluttering up his opinion with

munist garbage, manages to
go on record in favor of every-
body whomping themselves up
one of these shelter rigs, while
leaving himself an avenue of
retreat if the going gets too
rough with the voters.
