have lost a battle in the war
against the spread of imposed to
talitarianism. If Turkey goes down
under Soviet aggression, what will
save Greece? And if Greece goes,
what will save Europe? It is as
big and important as that.
The military aid to Turkey is
defensive. How effective it will be
only time will tell.
The military aid to Greece is all
important, because the Russians
have an army in the field in
Greece today. It is an army of
guerrillas raiders, bandits and
mercenaries, a Communist army
that raids farms, bums villages,
kills citizens, steals food, disrupts
industry, and prevents establish
ment of peace, order and security.
Until that guerrilla army is beaten
off, Greece cannot be internally at
peace, and until it is it cannot pro
duce what its people need to en
joy their rights to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. .
Digging down to the oottom of
his 400-million-dollar package,
John Smith looks to see whether
American oil imperialism is wrap
ped up in it somewhere. He has
heard that it is. Will he find it?
He will find that Americans
have invested very large sums of
money in the discovery, develop
ment and exploitation of oil in the
middle east. He will easily dis
cover that Russia covets that oil.
Americans bought that oil. They
did not steal it. They have not in
vaded the political, economic or
social rights of the people in those
oil countries. So far as Americans
are concerned, they do not want
to invade or curtail or take away
any of the rights of those people
To do that would be imperialism.
To develop oil. pay rolls and pros
perity in those countries—which
is what Americans are doing—is
not imperialism; it is good busi
ness for those people as well as
| for us. And John Smith should not
overlook the most important fact
that the oil the Russians covet
there may be vital to our safety
if ever again we get into a shoot
ing war.
Harry and John hope this 400
million-dollar purchase is going
to help buy security, peace and
human liberty. If it buys these
things over there, it will help bul
wark them here against the threat
of Communist subversion of the
liberties of individual Americans
like H^rry and John.
