Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - July 31, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky Why blame Ike k. Williams left Wing member of the British parliament gives to historic events a twist of logic which As used to be said a takes the he in effect blames president Eisenhower and prime minister Macmillan for the murder of Imre Nagy the hungarian Martyr to soviet tyranny. This first paragraph in a Long letter to the editor of the a a Manchester guardian from Zilliacus explains All Quot the moral iniquity and political imbecility of the murders of Nagy and his associates aggravate dby treachery and mendacity do not Tarrant the conclusion that the soviet government is not in Earnest about a Summit conference. It would be nearer the truth to say that these things have happened mainly because the soviet leaders have convinced themselves that the american and British governments do not want a Summit it is difficult to believe that the soviet leaders axe As infantile in their piques As Zilliacus pretends. They Are grown men and have been around a Long time. They know that they Are engaged in an imperialistic process and that they have thus far done remarkably Well they also know that the principal impediment to an even greater Success has been the United states which in a slow chaotic Talky sort of Way has managed from time to time to place impediments in their path sometimes. These impediments have been in the wrong place actually giving them cover for something nefarious. As when the Berlin Airlift was used As a cover for the biggest steal of All. The Conquest of China. 0 o naturally after the last one at Geneva the Heads of Western states Are not anxious to attend a Summit conference with Nikita Khrushchev in the first place nothing is accomplished. An enormous amount of time is wasted while Khrushchev plays the role of an ill mannered Buffoon Ato Eneva it May be recalled he showed up in Bulgari no Strain somewhat unexpectedly he was then officially not a part of the russian government but As head of the party he was the effective master. He immediately took Over and entered upon one of his publicity stunts which reminded one of the Ziegfeld stunt of having Anna held take Baths in milk with reporters alerted to write about it. I think it was Anna held As a publicity Hunter Eisenhower is no match for Khrushchev. Eisenhower is a rather dignified extrovert who is accustomed to talking to gentlemen and who would have cashiered Khrushchev had he been under his command. Too of course for the Sake of peace it May be necessary to meet with All sorts of rascals but then one must have a belief that something constructive can be accomplished by such a meeting had Khrushchev not tried to ring in Nehru and Nasser and a Bunch of arabs in what is to be a Summit conference one might have believed in his sincerity but his proposals thus far would indicate that in his mind the whole thing is a joke one can imagine the conversation going like this k. A like Why the Devil Don t you get out of Lebanon Well Bury you if you Don to because historical inevitability is on our Side. You can twin. So Why not collapse Quot e. A i want to say. K. A was Karl Marx said every epoch has its own characteristics. You Small Peoples of Western Europe and America had your Day and your fun and it s Over it must be Over because Karl Marx said so. Also Lenin said so. Therefore Stop playing with atom bombs and Hydrogen bombs. We be got More than you have and bigger e a then Why Are you against u. N. Control and inspection a k Quot what for we Don t have to Monkey around w Ith the u. N. Look How dug Hammarskjold was afraid to go into Hungary. It made me laugh if the u. N gets funny Well get out and Well take half the world with us. They have 81 nations How Many do you think have when we get out do you think that Bronze giant. Nasser will stay done to kid yourself Ike. We be got the votes and we be got the Power and Well do As we please Quot do you suppose president Eisenhower or anybody else wants to listen to that intellectual garbage for any length of time copyright. 1958 King features Syndicate inc.
