So, the Big New Hitler Yankee Plan looks to the preliminary sei- zure, under the terms of the North Atlantic Pact, of Iceland, Norway, Britain, France, the Low Countries. Whereas Hitler had to march in and openly take some of these countries, Eisenhower is already there, before the big as- sault really begins, to prepare the West European army. But where is the Army big, enough to seize Moscow? Life admits there are difficulties. It doesn’t think American soldiers should do the whole job. Can- non-fodder must be found. Under the NATO (North Atlan- tic Treaty Organization) Bisen- hower has in Western Europe less ~ than a dozen effective divisions. Life complains. But General Has- so von Manteuffel, “whom Life quotes respectfully and adoringly, his memory fresh with Nazi mili- tary defeat, says that 80 divisions are necessary to do the job. That isn’t so easy. [Life admits that the people of West Europe have no stomach for the Yankee scheme. The Germans don’t want want to arm; the French fear German rearmament. Yet, Life says, there is hope. Franco has nearly two million wretchedly equipped men who should be built up. “And there are sturdier forces,’ the maga- zine finds. Tito could give 30 divisions — he is fondly looked upon as a military ally in this criminal adventure. Greece has nine, Turkey 20. Rounding up the manpower of other countries in advance, Life -concludes that the job can be done. But it frankly admits that the time is not yet—preparations are not up to the mark. It mentions 1952, One could ask, “If this new Hitler Blitz Plan is supposed to be the reply to ‘Soviet aggression,’ why does not the Soviet Union act now, before the Americans are ready?” To ask the question is to ans- wer it. This Life plan for the attack upon Europe and the air- borne, capture of Warsaw is it- self the plan of aggressive war. There is no threat of aggression ‘from the side of the Soviet Un- ion; if there> were, the Soviet Union could have acted in West- ern Europe long ago. The fact is that the Soviet Un- ion has reduced its armed forces, carried through three successive cal envelopments starting in southern Norway, ending in big assault on Warsaw. BRAND NEW KIND OF WARFARE We could take the offensive against the Red Army in Europe with a startling doctrine ef attack which is‘called ‘vertical envelopment.” Lire shows how this could be done The heading from Life’s blitz plan article. Maps above, reproduced from Life magazine, show how the Yankee blitz plan is centred on Warsaw, via Norway. Warsaw, Te- building from the ashes of Nazi destruction (left) would once again be bombed, this time with atomic weapons, if this plan, which Life scheduled for 1952, ever is launched. Five Power Peace Pact Petition is most effective weapon to block it. \ demobilizations and is fighting for world . peace through disarma- ment. The intended “victim” of this new Blitzkreig has proposed an immediate reduction in arma- ments of from one half to one third. It has fought for the aboli- tion of the atom bomb. It is patiently struggling for a Pact of Peace between the Five Great Powers. Queer plans for “ag- gression,” these! Life’s scheme, replete with _maps, photographs, dates and de- tails, is a plan of aggression for the seizure of Europe. It is the West European edition of Mac- Arthur’s plot for ‘the conquest of China. The first section of Life’s article deals extensively with the views of General Manteuffel. Here you see the. intimate relationships built up between the U.S. War Deparment and the Nazi gener- als who move freely in West Germany and are surely in close ’ discussions with the Bisenhower command. What the U.S. Army intends to do is to scrape up all available manpower in West Europe by bludgeoning and corrupting reac- tionary governments to come up with cannon-fodder who will die under the direction of U.S. gen- erals for the domination of Europe. Tactical atomic weapons are boasted about by Life. It is said LUANG) AA A) wh til a CTT Oe eT] Yankee blitz plan Simian Tt ies TL e these are being perfected for field warfare as well as the destruction of cities. Clearly the intention is to light the flames of atomic fire throughout Europe, to burn and destroy, pillage and ravage and bring the whole of Europe under Wall Street’s boot, even if it is a smoking ruin. Canadians are assumed to be part of this invading army. While Life does not mention us by name (maybe it takes the St. Laurent government for granted) Cana- dian brigades are soon to be sent to Europe under Eisenhower's command. This country is looked upon by the Pentagon as part of the U.S. military domestic establishment and if the devilish plot for the seizure of Warsaw is allowed to be carried through, then Canada will be dragged in from the be- ginning by the !U.S. Life is a journal of the top big business circles of the United States. It is’a member of the House of Morgan. Last year it published in full MacArthur’s plan for the re-conquest of China in the famed Osborne interviews with the Yankee Mikado. Now Life leads the way with the public description of the con- quest of Europe and Eisenhower is its new favorite. Perhaps Wis- enhower and his plans will meet MacArthur’s fate. Life could not have published its lavish layout of pictures and details without the full coopera- _ tion of the U.S. War Department. We can take it that the plan is on the desks of the Yankee mili- tary much as Life published it— complete with Nazi General Mann- teufel’s marginal comments, no doubt. Can Canadians stand for this sort of thing? Is this the grim forecast of our future, the sort of thing mothers must think about when they tuck their babies to sleep at night and when a father sees his-son for the first time in long pants? Neither Western Europe nor ourselves is in danger of aggres- sion from the Soviet Union. If any Soviet citizen were to write or to speak as Life does he would be tried as a war propagandist. If a Polish, Hungarian, Chinese, or a Czechoslovakian citizen were to do it, he would be tried in a peo- ple’s court. The main propaganda in the Soviet Union and Poland — the proposed targets for the U.S. air- borne Marines—is the propagan- da of peace. Life’s article is a bare-faced piece of Yankee warmongering which should be banned from Canada. It is a threat to Can- adian security and national sov- ereignty. * The reply of Canadians must be to roll up hundreds of thous- ands of new names on the Peti- tion for a Pact of Peace. Just as the movement of the people: throughout the world in opposition to MacArthur’s adven- tures in Korea and for banning of the A-bomb brought results, so the world-wide Appeal for a Pact of Peace can stop’the march to war of the new Hitler-blitz planners in Washington.
