ONLY A TRAITOR
There is before the United
States Senate for consideration
a so-called “Consular Conven
tion treaty.” Its another meth
od of opening the doors for
communist spies to carry on
their work in this country.
Below is a letter which I
have received from a reader on
this subject. Fo'lowing that is
Jesse Helms’ “Viewpoint” over
WRAL-TV on February 28th.
After reading both, perhaps
you would like to sit down and
w r rite your Senator about this
question.
“No one but a TRAITOR
will vote for the Soviet Consu
lar Treaty when American boys
are being killed by Red Rus
sian bullets in Vietnam.
“No one but a TRAITOR will
vote for the Soviet Consular
Treaty when that treaty will
allow even one more Commun
ist spy agent into our country.
"No one but a TRAITOR will
vote for the Soviet Concular
Treaty when that treaty gives
diplomatic immunity and com
plete ptotection against prose
cution for ANY and A I. L
FELONIES to all consular
staff members, whet; or the
felony might be the assassina
tion of our president, the mur
der of any American citizen,
or the rape of any \merican
woman.
“Yes, only a TRAITOR will
vote for the Soviet Consular
Treaty.”
View point
It can scarcely be ■ >nsid' r-
ed a coiiic.denee that the l .
S. Senate all at once finds it
self grappling with a ho.-d of
thorny and contradictory .ssues
which, in one fashion or ano
ther, raises the question of
whether civilization and free
dom am to surv ve in the
world. Certainly there .s evi
dence that common logic and
simple prudence are being re
placed by political non.-' ii.o* in
the conduct of our foreign af
fairs both at home and abroad
It ha m‘uned apparent for
several days that the Senator-
may approve another treaty
with the Russians at tie very
time when the Russians are
sponsoring a war in \ ietnam
in which thou, ami.- of Amen
can boys have died ami into
which billions of American
dollars
