Bon't Go Too Far

Yes, she was real kind,

Was Mrs, Crawford,

For she'd let Hilda,

The young Indian girl,

Cry on her shoulder

Right in her own living room—
For Hilda was in trouble,

And Mrs, Crawford

Let it be known far and wide—
Or anyway—

To all her ‘white’ friends,
Over and over and over,

How she'd let Hilda

Cry on her shoulder,

Then there was Mrs, Robins,
She ran a store

And, as well,

She ran a kind of bank

For some of the folk more
Or less on the Reserve,

And, no, she never cheated them,
Not one little bit;

Not in money, that is,

But she never tired of telling
Anyone who'd listen

How really “they” were

Just like children:

And when she said this

She GLOWED,

Further down the street

Were Mr, and Mrs, Gray,

They were so understanding,
Experts on Indians

You might say,

Their story, which they loved

To repeat, also over and over
With a satisfied chuckle

To selected friends who were also
Well up in psychology,

Was how old Billy Harry

Had complained that

His name wasn’t in the local paper
The last time he was

Jailed for being drunk—

And wasn’t that just TOO interesting?

The biggest logging outfit in town
Was run by Art Ruskin,

So sometimes

Other businessmen would ask Art
About some of the Indians

He employed,

Ask about credit,

Now Art was fair, a regular guy,
United Appeal, Crippled Children—
The works,

And Art often used to reply,
“Yes, I’d say Charley,

(Or Leon or Adrian)

Is a ‘good’ Indian,”

That’s what Art

Used to say,

And this was much the same,

Really,

As the way his wife

Would raise her eyebrows

As she took a sip of tea

From that nice English bone china cup
And tell all her Bridge friends

That Charley’s wife was

A “clean” Indian,

On the other hand

There was the new banker’s wife,
Young Molly Carruthers,

(With a couple of LOVELY kids
And, my word, she was

In everything too—

W.I., P.T.A,, Eastern Star, W,A.—
In fact you might say

A pasteurized

Grade “A” product,

Was Molly,)

And she was so darn FRIENDLY
With everyone,

In particular she used to like

To talk with old Sam August,

Who used to be Chief,

She told him why one day:

“You know what, Sam?”

“What, Mrs, Carruthers?” said Sam,
“T enjoy talking to you,

Really do. Must be because

I can recognize you, Sam,”

Then she’d laugh, a little short
“Hee! Hee!”

And show such even white teeth
Without a single cavity,

“In fact, Sam,” she’d go on,

“TI like talking to most of your people
But, (Hee! Hee!)

I can't tell them apart,” —John Hope

U.S. ‘Invisible Government’
exposé in documented book

Cuban exiles riot in Washington
to pressure Mexico to join in anti-
Castro sanctions. Dramatic pictures
of viofence were front-paged by the
press. U.S. 0jficials expressed “dis-
may.’ —News Item.

South Vietnamese Premier Khanh
conducts a vigorous propaganda
campaign to invade North Viet-
nam,.opposed by U.S. General
Taylor. The issue ts formally re
solved by sending 5,000 more U.S.
troops. —News Item.

Top Goldwater aides attend an
ultra- Right school in Colorado with
18 students and 11 professors in-
cluding the anti-Soviet economist,
G. Warren Nutter. —News Item

he background to these items

and many others is given in
a book just published in Washing-
ton — which the Central Intelli-
gence Agency (C,I,A,) tried to
suppress—called “The Invisible
Government,”

Written by correspondents
David Wise and Thomas B. Ross,
this book suggests it is likely
that:

1. The Cuban exile “riot” was
organized and financed by the
C.I.A.

2. Khanh’s propaganda script
was written by C.I.A. men to
force increased U.S. intervention
and attempt to provoke North
Vietnamese counter-action,

3. The “studies” of Warren
Nutter, which claim that the Sov-
iet Union lost ground economic-
ally since the Tsar and are re-
jected by most U.S, economists
were financed by or done in co-
operation with the C.I.A.

The C.I.A. lures Cuban, Hun-
garian, Ukrainian, Chinese and
other refugees out of their own
countries, finances them, organ-
izes them, trains and equips
them for sabotage, arson, murder
and military campaigns,

Americans exercise complete
detailed control and despite den-
ials take the physical lead in
“exile” invasions. Two Ameri-
cans were the first ashore at the
Bay of Pigs. American fliers
decided the overthrow of Presi-
dent Arbenz in Guatemala and of

course, the South - Vietnamese
“army” would vanish without its
American cement.

* * *

The C.I.A. men treat their
foreign agents with utter con-
tempt, lying to them, discarding
them and assassinating them at
will,

The book explains the inner
workings of the C.I.A. and other
agencies of the $4,000 million
“intelligence community,” It em-
phasizes the C.1.A.’s illegal pro-
paganda and espionage activity.
It describes the wild contra-
diction between officially-pro-
claimed policies and the opera-
tive practices of the C.I.A.

The C.I.A. chief, a presiden-
tial aide, and three other top
officials form a _ secret body,
called the Special Group which,
according to the authors, is the
real decision-making centre of
the U.S. Government insofar as
its major cold-war actions are
concerned,

Virtually every key individual
described as a C.I.A. boss is
explicitly or implicitly by college
and social background part of
American high finance,

A self-appointed clique carry
out expensive projects ona world
scale, unknown to and usually
denied to the public, in conform-
ity with their secret decision on
goals and means: all at the ex-
pense of the American taxpayer,

The book says that the former
Guatemala President Arbenz
made the “big mistake” of car-
rying out land reform at the
expense of the United Fruit Com-
pany. According to Ydigoras,
later a puppet President of Gua-
temala, he was approached by a
retired United Fruit executive
and two C.I.A. operatives to co-
operate in the overthrow of the
progressive Arbenz Government,

The terms were:

*] was to promise to favor
the United Fruit Company and
the International Railways of
Central America — to destroy the

railroad workers’ labour union...
to establish a strong arm goy-
ernment. Further I was to pay
back every cent that was invested
in the undertaking.”

In the decade since, the C.I.A.
has arranged the assassination of
the first puppet and the exile of
the second.

The authors say: “And S50, 2
decade after the C.1.A.’s libera-
tion of Guatemala from Com-
munism in 1954, the lot of Guate-
mala was about the same. The
landowners prospered, the two
million Indians, still largely illit-
erate, toiled on for wages still
ridiculously low.”

* * *

The book emphasizes the offi-
cial denials and deplorings ofthe
State Department of policies and
practices actively pursued bythe
“Invisible Government.” The
best-known example was Stey-
enson’s United Nations denial
of the U.S. role in the Bay of
Pigs invasion,

Politicians of the “ Visible Goy-
ernment” denounce “State control
of intellectual life in the Soviet
Union” and claim “individual
freedom” in the United States,

The authors say:

“The relationship between the
C.I.A. and the universities is
two-way — the C.LA, secretly
finances research programmes
at some universities, in turn the
universities help recruit pers-
onnel,..

“Despite the possible loss of |
academic freedom, most univer-
sities and professors have shown
little reluctance to work for the
C.I.A.”

The authors deplore C.LA.
subversion of the traditions, law
and Constitution of the U.S.; its
undermining of people’s freedom.
But they say the cold war re-
quires this. Only it should be
done more selectively with more
Presidential control.
