People talk about Communists and fascists and other "ists!
as being agents of «= forel country, I say, that I would class:
Catholicism in this country or any country as an agent of. the
Veticen snd its dictator, the Yope. lost of the Orthodox
Cetholicx homes have the picture of the Pope hanging on the wel:
The Catholic's first duty and obedience, therefore is to the
Pope and the Vaticsn., The Popes through the centuries have beer
the most ruthless and the shrewdest and the sinisterest politi-
ciens whose intrigues were behind every major bloody war.
Anti-semitism has been their favorite sport.
. About the Wallace affair, Yous are as untruthful ebdout
him as you are ignorant. He is one of the few honest and
great humanitariens in this hypocritical world of ours. He
is hated by his enemies because he stands for peace, Our
current hysterical atmosphere can be traced to a subconscious,
but nevertheless overwhelming desire for another war; for the
simple reason thet the last war is indelibly linked in our mind:
with prosnerity, more money, better clothes, better food,

of peace with breadlines, or war and the abundant life that
.proceeds from it. As far as I am concerned, three years in the
Army with twice overseas, will do me for a lifetime. I am
a conscientious objector as far as violence and war is concernec
I am indcotrinating my son along these lines.
Calling Wallace a Communist is another ignorant remark,
because it has become a great past-time of "patriotic" Ameridn:
to foul a man's good name. Reactionaries who have been satu-
rated in the anti-Russisn hate gospel,. naturally fect it their
duty to belittle a man like Wallace who Knows tha% peece is
vossible only if there is a little more of the Golden Rule
