To peaceful folk all over the U. S. last week went a series of curdling injunctions to keep America out of World War II. Black type, slick paper, photographs of horribly wounded and starved victims of war were the propaganda materials of the American Federation of Peace. Sample atrocities:
>”A possible plea to Congress. . . . ‘HAVE US ALL STERILIZED! . . . IF YOU PLAN ON SENDING US TO A FOREIGN WAR . . . SPARE US ANY POSSIBILITY OF EVER BRINGING CHILDREN INTO THIS WORLD—INTO THIS COUNTRY OF OURS!’
> “Americans, DO YOU WANT YOUR COUNTRY RAPED? . . . WHILE YOU’RE AWAY, THE RATS WILL PLAY! Every Fascist and Communist will try to participate in a filthy orgy of rapine upon your industries.”
> “THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS! You, men and women of America are the suckers who filled up the stockings of profiteers, propagandists and foreign politicos with your own blood—your own brain—your own money! . . . WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO FILL THEM WITH THIS TIME? With the flesh of your wives? With the bowels of your children? . . .”
