Sometimes this at- tracts spectators.” } Since that time the Yankee ‘“Herren- folk” have enlisted the services of a whole pack of mangy literary canines to lick their underbellies and attract the kind of attention needed to provide a “moral” base for a colossal crime—the crime of fomenting war upon all nations and peo- royalists of Wall Street. ; The “views” of one of these noisy war- - Mongering mongrels was drawn to our attention recently by a California corres- Pondent in the San Mateo Times. It ap- pears that one Lewis K. Gough (pronounc- €d, and aptly so, “Guff”), commander of the American Legion, had gone to Korea _ to see for himself just how things were going. Obviously what he saw there didn’t please him because he returned to this hemisphere full of Yankee bombast - 4nd guff, demanding that ‘the president of the United States, whoever he may be,” egin to wage full-scale war upon the _ People of Korea and China. This kind : of a war Gough calls “war with victory Jn line with the American tradition.” ')-There is no doubt that in numerous U.S. (and Canadian) circles, as in the Case of the mongrel Kravchenko, this Gough person attracted some approving attention to his “solution” for the Korean War.

Evidence which shows that while the Goughs have one idea of the “American tradition,” very similar to that held by the megalo- maniac Adolph Hitler until Soviet artil- lery buried him in the rubble of his Reich chancellory, these U.S. pilots, hating the foul nature of their mission against a “people with whom they have no quarrel, have othereideas of the great traditions of their country and its people, traditions written deep in U.S. history. Commenting on the evidence given by U.S. Lieutenant Floyd, O’Neal on his ~germ-bomb “missions,” Dr. Joseph Need- ham, FRS, biochemist at Cambridge Uni- ‘versity, former director of UNESCO’s de- partment of natural sciences and former scientific counsellor to the British embas- . $y-ingwartime China, said in part: _ “What Mr. O’Neal said interested me very much about the feeling of a new type of criminal which has come about in society. It interested me very much because I have done a lot of thinking about the question of blind and indiscrim- inate weapons of warfare. There is a difference which we all, I think, under- stand very well between the days. of old when soldiers went off together with rifles‘and swords, and modern times when men are asked to push a button and de- liver something without éven having the slightest idea of what it may be, or who is going to be affected or even how many thousands of people are going to be af- | fected by that button which they press...” The evidence taken by this commission (evidence which, as we have observed on » ~ previous occasions in this column, ‘bears out all that Dr. James G. Endicott and _ the Dean of Canterbury had to say on germ warfare in Korea) from members of _ the U.S. armed. forces—outraged when they learn the horrors of the “missions” they are ordered to undertake, not only ‘established a new type of criminal, pro- duced by Yankee imperialism, its yes- men and “running dogs,” but when this crime against humanity is fully assessed, how to determine and fasten the guilt upon the real criminals. When the ‘line-up’ takes place before _ the bar of world humanity, determined upon peace, dignity and equality, there is going to be a motley pack of sub-human bloodhounds “licking their underbellies” and cringing with fear before the silent accusation of murdered humanity because it chose freedom. people will teach the Goughs the true. meaning of American traditions! r ) ‘ 4 ¢ With the Yule season drawing close and 1958 not far off, a lot of} folks are again thinking of gifts; of those little things that express in a million ways the deep ‘longing of all people for “Peace on Earth, ~ Goodwill Towards Men.” How better to start off:1953 than by sending your neigh- bors and friends a subscription to the Pacific Tribune?

This fundamental truth was reco whose efforts brought the United Nations (UN) into being and who fashioned its governing statutes, gnized by those men and women or many. countries One of these statutes is a convention respecting political immunities for UN employees. The U.S. Congress which has spawned such un-American (and un-UN) — outfits as the Dies, McCarthy and McCarran ad nauseum “un-American Commit- tees,” did not and has not ratified this convention. Neither, of course, has the US. Congress ratified the Geneva Protocol prohibiting t gt he use of germ warfare. Thusis- standing aloof from humanity and democtacy, except what they themselves decree to be in’ their own special interests, the governmental spokesmen for, the Yankee war trusts can violate humanity abroad with deadly germ bombs as they have done in China and Korea; and, when it suits their war policies to do so, outrage the conscience character agsassination, smear and scandal. . ‘ i J During recent months the McCarran-McCarthy witch-hunting gang has been directing its oderiferous activities to UN personnel, accusing sundry officials and employees of “communism” or of being “fellow-travellers in communist-controlled _ subversive organizations.” Already this has resulted in a nu 7 mber of suicides of key UN officials, the most recent being Abraham Feller, head part: : of the UN legal depart- ment. Under pressure of this McCarran smear campaign against the UN, Secretary- 5 7 ‘yes‘man’ for Yankee im- perialism, has set up a committee of jurists “to inquire into the political status of UN employees”; a panel of jurists well supplied with a staggering list of what J. ‘Edgar Hoover's FBI considers to be “subversive” organizations and ideas. _Opérating in an atmosphere of hysteria, fear and slanderous accusations, it was “a foregone conclusion that this panel of jurists should “discover Communists” on the UN staff; that they should discover others ““whose activities are regarded as dis- ~ loyal” (obviously to Yankee imperialism) ; while others, who have stood on their constitutional rights and refused to answer incriminating and provocative questions, "are accused of having a “suspicion of guilt,” which becomes “grounds for dismissal.” ‘The jurists’ report further suggests that the US. government's refusal to gratff .s ti “should lead to inquiries as to the fitness of the ‘persons involved to continue on the UN staff.” Canadian trade _ Unionists, refused entry into the U.S. to attend the international conventions of their mas. unions, can well appreciate the joker in that “suggestion” of the UN wreckers. ‘ Christmas” without some feeling of guilt! sii MLS “recommendations” of the UN witch-hunters cover not only all U.S. | personnel on the UN, but are designed to cover all members of the UN sceretariat, “except those who come from Communist countries.” These latter from the “Soviet _ ~ world” are duly warned they “must not take part in activities regarded as sub versive by the U.S. government.” «That final piece of brazen impudence is the payoff, and reduces the res = _ of the United Nations from a world body dedicated to peace and human wellbein) to an adjunct of a Yankee-dominated police state. Small wonder that Britain's ‘s foreign secretary Anthony Eden and his understrapper Anthony Nutting maintained - their silence in the House of Commons when British ~ : or itish MP’s assailed this U.S. witch- hunting in the UN. Small wonder that Canada’s foreign secretary, Lester B. Pear< son, remains equally silent. (This incendiarism against the UN is fed by the fuels they hawe provided.
