Benson President k NATIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM Searcy, Arkansas d THE GREAT DECEPTION "People always have been and they always will be stupid victims of deceit and self-deception in poli tics. . .” —Nikolai Lenin Published reports on Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin’s visit with Fidel Castro in Havana, Cuba, give dramatic evidence of the incredible success of Russia’s propaganda conquest of U. S. policy-makers and a large part of the American press. One of the biggest-cir- culation news weeklies in America, recognized in the past for its cold-eyed appraisal of the duplicity of World Com munism, pictured the Soviet boss as a “dove’’; wanting to halt Cuba’s exporting of guer rilla warfare and revolution in to Latin America,* and Castro as refusing. “Most reports indicate that the Russians and Cubans found virtually no common ground,” said this influential news magazine. Then this as tonishing remark was made: “The Russians are described as being wary of violence in Latin America. They prefer helping Communist parties be come respectable.” This re porting is in character with much of the journalism being published throughout America. It is a true echo of what our Government leaders are saying today. This "good, respect able” image for Soviet Com munism is the image on which our foreign policy is based. Is it a true or a false image? And what are the dangers in volved if it is false? Dangerous Image I believe the image of a changed, trustworthy Soviet Communism as the basis for our foreign policy is dangerous and could be disasterous. For the next several weeks we shall devote ourselves to re porting results of considerable reportorial research into the facts of the “Great Deception” through which our Government leaders, the American wire services, the TV networks, and other important news outlets seem to have been bewitched. We intend to use Kosygin’s visit to Cuba and Cuba’s threat to the free world (under Soviet control) as the focal point of our examination of the deception. The titles of some of our forthcoming columns will be: “The Russians in Cuba” . . . “The Missiles in Cuba” . . . “Castro’s Biggest Export: Revolution” . . . “We Are Pro tecting Red Cuba.” Guerrilla Training Headquarters The American press general ly is reporting some facts on Castro’s exporting of subver sion and guerrilla warfare, but even these reports are inade quate, frequently buried on newspaper back pages and ignored by the big TV network news programs. Almost invari ably, in such relatively meager reportage, the observation is made that the Russian Red leaders deplore the “erratic” Castro’s training of guerrilla bands for subverting, foment ing violence, and leading re volts against the Latin Ameri can nations. I have the sworn word of one of the most respected men in international life that the U. S. State Department does not want Communist Cuba Refreshing the Nation’s Economy What is the brewing industry worth to the American economy? Reckon it in billions. Here are some of our annual outlays, in round numbers: Excise taxes (federal, state, local). . . .$1.4 Billion Agricultural purchases (grains, etc.). $215 Million Packaging purchases (wood, paper, metal) $550 Million Salaries and wages $2.5 Billion ON THESE FOUR ITEMS ALONE-MORE THAN $4 BILLION The Breweries of America Pump Constant Refreshment into the American Economic System. UNITED STATES BREWERS ASSOCIATION, INC. P.O. BOX 6247, COLUMBIA, S.C. 29206 mentioned adversely — be cause it riles up the American people, and any overt action against Cuba would be con trary to U. S. commitments and would disturb our “good” relationship with the Soviet bosses. Our National Educa tion Program staff has gather ed voluminous sworn testimony from recognized authorities convincing any logical mind that Cuba is in fact not a harmless Castro-controlled and deteriorating island in the peaceful Caribbean but a con stantly expanding fortress of World Communism, bristling with Soviet armaments, sub marine bases, subterranean missile complexes, and oper ated as a Soviet outpost, under rigid Russian control, decisive ly strategic in Soviet plans for conquering the Western hemi sphere. Facts Examined We have eye-witness testi mony (which will be reported in subsequent columns) de scribing “Russian cities” in Cuba, vast underground missile establishments (built and operated today by Russians), a network of subterranean arsenals with huge tunnels and rail transport running sometimes 60 miles and some containing under-mountain run ways over which medium-size bombers and Mig 21’s (made in Russia) roar, to take flight literally “out of the mouth” of caves like monstrous bats. There is testimony (of authentic character) describing Russian missiles now in Cuba which measure 60-feet, the size of the IRBM 1500-mile missiles which Russia installed in Cuba in 1962 (then, reported ly, removed) and new missiles approximately 150 feet long — possibly the biggest Soviet ICBM’s on which Russia has been developing multiple heads capable of instantaneous de ployment, through cluster fir ings, all over a nation. The truth about Cuba constitutes a dramatic denial of the fiction on which much of our foreign policy is based. It spotlights the great deception which seems to have victimized our leaders and now is endanger ing our survival.

THE MANION FORUM er to follow suit. Bernard P. Reese Jr. a Rock ford, 111. attorney whose boy is with an Assault Helicopter unit, traveled to Viet Nam a few months ago. He not only got to see his son—he was al lowed to fly with his unit in a combat assault! Appearing on the Manion Fomm radio pro gram shortly after his return to the States, Mr. Reese had this to say: “The attitude of the troops is fantastic. The morale of the boys is splendid. These boys hear about the protesters, the draft card burners and the like back home, and it is a matter of major concern to them. I think they wonder how much the American people are really behind them. They are doing a job, and they wonder how much the American people know about it, and if they are really concerned about it. “The officers are committed one hundred per cent to our constitutional type of govern ment. They are obedient to their Commander in Chief. They are not trying to, thwart the policy laid down by the Commander, but they do feel—and every miliary officer that I talked to agreed—that the war could be terminated successfully within 30 days if they were given the directions to do so. They are on a leash, so to speak.” The return to this country after his visit was a shock to Reese. “In Viet Nam,” he said, “there is a sense of comrade ship and of concern. It is hard to be dropped suddenly back into the main stream of Am erican society where concern for those kids over there is not really felt. People here go a- bout their everyday affairs of life, with their own personal problems, and have little con cern, or perhaps even know ledge, of what’s going on over there. “The American people sim ply haven’t been tagged by the fact that our kids are suffer ing and dying when the war could be terminated success fully. This is something that the American people should be come vitally concerned about, and demand that our Govern ment go in and win the war— when that is what can be done if they would choose to do so. “The recent successes of the Israeli troops in the Mediter ranean War demonstrates that there is no substitute for vic tory. The spirit of our own men in Viet Nam is equally as high as that of the Israeli troops. They are held on a leash, how ever, and if we would just let them loose, they would win the war and stop the bloodshed. In the best interest of the East, and in America itself in terms of lives that would be saved, it would be incredibly in the best interest for us to do so.” The By MARILYN MANION MORALE IN VIET NAM- HIGHER THAN MORALE HERE For the mother and father of a fighting man in Viet Nam, the world revolves around one magical point in time: the day their son will return home. But that moment is in the future—and it is hard to be , patient. The next best thing is a trip to visit that son in Viet | Nam.

County Agents Column Insects Now Hitting Cotton Favorable weather conditions are bringing a great improve ment to our remaining cotton crop, but it is still a very crit ical situation. Now, action against the insects is the press ing problem. Every grower should be on an insecticide pro gram now, if not for some of the earlier insects such as thrips or aphids, surely for boll weevils and boll worms. We have checked and found an abundance of boll weevils thruout the county. We have yet to find squaring cotton or cotton that has begun to square that does not have weevils. Boll worms are also appearing on squaring cotton. We are urging all growers to follow a regular insecticide program. On our young cotton where squar ing has not begun it is advised that an application be applied every five days to kill weevils out before they can start a new generation. Let’s' try to save our first squares. Fowl Cholera Some reports are showing a serious problem with condem nation of turkey necks, result ing from Fowl Cholera vaccina tions. This trouble has shown up in flocks from several areas in Carolina and Georgia. Dr. Thomas Eleazer of the Clemson Diagnostic Laboratory says, “They have examined necks showing these lesions, and the problem seems to come from poor technique. In practically all cases the injections were made further down the neck than most, and the needle was stuck into the muscle of the neck. To avoid or to minimize con demnation losses frqm this source, be sure that the inject ion is made under the skin, moving the needle almost par allel to the neck instead of aim ing straight down, make it higher up on the neck. The skin should be lifted up to be sure. And another thing—favor the right side of the neck to avoid heavier blood vessels ne- neath the skin on the left side. Birds are going to market ear lier nowadays which means that there isn’t as much time for sloppy jobs to heal and this goes for things other than the cholera shots too. Silos Can Be Killers It is about silo filling time again if you haven’t filled with ?rass, and even if you have, you will probably fill again with corn, sorghum, or some thing else. Silo filling can be dangerous in many ways. Someone can get hurt by machinery, but we are usually guarding against these accidents. The accident that slips up on us in the one caused by Silo gases. Nitrogen dioxide is a gas that is poisonous for man, animals and plants. Nitrogen dioxide forms through a num ber of chemical processes from the nitrates in the material be ing put into the silo and cause death or “silo filler’s disease.” This hazardous condition from silo gases is more likely to occur when high nitrogen applications have been made to crops and when there has been a sudden stoppage of growth of the crops due to hail or drought or when the crops are growing rapidly and they are cut for silage at this time. For age cut at this time can also be hazardous to cattle from nitrate poisoning. When filling silos with this kind of mater ials, it is advisable to: 1: keep children and animals away from the silo for at least a week after filling. 2. keep a check on animals in those barns that have silo chutes opening into them. 3. run blower 10 to 20 minutes after silo filling starts and for a week after it is fill ed before climbing the chute or entering the silo. 4. never jump down into a silo. These gasses are heavier than air so they form a pocket in the silo. Silo gases are usually brown but sometimes appear as yellow and red. Even tho these gases are not seen around the silo, don’t take chances. Feed Wastage Is Costly In Swine Operation Feed wastage is one of the most consistent problems found at swine operations. On many farms there is too much feed on the ground or floor around the feeder, in most cases worn-out or improperly adjusted feeders are the major causes. The wastage can be very costly and may take your profit. We should always keep a check on our feeding equip ment. Garden Don’t forget your FALL gar den. If you will not harvest enough for your family needs from your spring garden, here are some of our vegetables that can be planted during the month of July: pole beans, lima beans, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cab bage, collards, cauliflower, cu cumbers, eggplant, pepper, to matoes and squash. A well planned insects con trol program is always needed.
