Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - September 6, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news a a these Days by George e. Sokolsky american imperialism there never was a lass imperialistic nation than the United states. Even such a country As Cuba and the Philippines which we won by War were Given their Freedom. Nevertheless soviet and Nasser propaganda in the Middle East has succeeded in building the impression which is generally believed to be True that imperialistic United states is the Central problem of the Era. The twist has been accomplished mostly by radio which blares Forth in constant repetition the same tales Day in and Day out. Even those who Are too ignorant to read can listen and Here is a Sample of the truck that Arab speaking people hear a american imperialism supports prance in its dirty War in Algeria and works for its continuation so it will have an Opportunity to seize French interests there. The United states since the end of world War ii has opposed the people. Its weapon has been the traitorous imperialist associates and conspiracies. The was and continues to be the uprooting of the Peoples liberation movements and domination of them by Force in order to guarantee the sources of raw material and cheap labor. The of american imperialism was and continues to be dragging the people to War whenever possible. War is the source of enormous profits to the War and arms merchants among american the fact that none of this is True docs not affect the situation at All. Why need to be True to be believed Man. In his Long Travail has believed much that was not True. There used to be a blackmailer in Shanghai who would approach his victim with the statement a it has been said and it has not been denied. A and so we have been labelled throughout the world As imperialists another libel that is widespread is that our Secretary of state John poster Dulles a wants to ignite a War in the Middle Why should a Meek presbyterian like Dulles want to foment a War the answer Over the radio is a. He does not care for the people or for peace. What he wants is the Oil. Cheap raw materials and cheap labor As Well As the opening of markets to the american arms merchants a the merchants of destruction and what will these people say when Europe moves from Oil to atomic Power As Europe has moved from Coal to Oil what would they say if automobiles ran on alcohol instead of gasoline it is an easy conversion to make and would use up the surplus Grain of the United states and Canada. If it is Oil exploitation that alone stands in the Way of a peaceful world the arabs May discover that the world is no longer As dependent upon Oil As it once was. The Quot Nautilus Quot has established beyond any doubt that the most modern sea Craft can undertake the most daring voyage without dependence upon Oil. If the arabs make their Oil unavailable or too expensive no one needs to use it perhaps Nasser can drown in it. They might get some of their Learned men to Tell them what is going on in the world today. It would do the arabs Good to listen to a broadcast from the a voice of american on Why we do not need their Oil and Why it will not be Long before Europe will not need their Oil. As a matter of fact these arabs might be Given some statistics to show How our own Industry has been limited by reducing the allowable removal of Oil from the ground. Too in a word these people need to be told a few facts of life. The arabs have been a subject people for centuries impoverished hungry suffering sick scrawny in some of their countries the exploitation of Oil brought a measure of wealth to their rulers and states some of which worked its Way Down to the people this was not an Arab accomplishment it was done by americans. Dutch etc., and Gulbenkian the armenian five percenter. It would do the arabs no harm to remind them that although they have a Long history and a great culture what have they produced in recent years shall we go Back to Avicenna 980-10371 and aver nos 1126-11981 to prove that the arabs Are cultured or shall we recognize that it was great Britain Itiat freed them from the turks vol. 80, no. 210 it.
