BY GEORGE SCEEEER
It is hard to think that in our
own land there are intelligent
thinking men, men who are able
to see far beyond the horizon;
of thought of we lesser folk, wh(
openly advocate leaving a great
j (probably the greater) portion of
South America' to the Naz
j hordes
If I hadn’t read this reporter
statement in no less than the
thoritative Christian Science Mm
itor, I would hardly credit ;
own senses.
But in an accredited story,
report—but do not agree- \V
the proposals made by no
than Brigadier General Rober
Wood, that Nazism be permitted
to take over that great portion of
South America ijelow what is
called the "bulge.”
this is the largest part of Bra

bow towards Africa.
Recall that this part is only
1862 mites from Africa, and with
in a few hours plane flight irom
enemy forces.
How long would ’America la.
under such a condition?
While this is bad enough nuli
tarily, the ceonomic aspect is even
worse under Nazi terms and con
ade South America did t>0 percent
of her trade with Europe, and tills
particular portion did 80 percent.
Under the suggested plan trade
with Nazi influences wouid not
only be but much
worse, under Nazi teams and o n
trol, which would spell the t no

and bankruptcy lor our 1 .-111 11

they wouid realize that General
Wood is no less than the Ciiair
man of the iniamous America
First Committee.
The America First Committee
is but the boiled shirt edition ol \
the notorious German Bund. it
is just as vicious, dangerous and
venomous as the Hitlerized Bund,
except that it is fancified and
frock-tad coated and made up
of the "mtelligencia,” General j
Wood, Lindbergh, and their ilk. |
It is well that true Americans
are aware of these serpents, but
it is frightening that there are
so many who bear the name of
Americans willing to sabotage our
own beloved land.
It has been announced with au
thority that Naz -Communism
was involved in the plane-build

yet, Labor can be so blind as to
let such enemy inspired forces
work under its name.
