May my courage and patriotism always be as his. That I shall never falter in duty to my native land. FOREWORD "FOR ONLY THOSE ARE FIT TO LIVE WHO ARE NOT AFRAID TO DIE" (words of General Douglas Mac Arthur) It takes knowledge and patriotic moral courage to compile the irrefut- able facts found in the pages of "And Men Wept", and to present it to the public. I hope that it may clarify the confusion in political thinking which has overtaken many Americans. A confusion and frustration seem- ingly among all classes—rich and poor—and among the various religions. I want to quote for you Ralph Waldo Emerson: — "One of the best ways to remain ignorant is to close your mind to all new thought". The author of -And Men Wept" has dealt with these facts so that the reader may make his own conclusions. We have found it difficult to include some of the names mentioned and hope our many friends and acquaintances will understand that the chips must fall where they may in a book of this nature, even though it is in their own family. When one is fond of personable people, outside of their political views, forthrightness and honesty are put to the test. However, Daniel Webster clarified this for us when he so ably said:— "Let our object be our country, our whole country and nothing but our country and by the blessings of God, may that country itself become the vast and splendid monument, not of oppression and terror, but of wisdom, of peace and of liberty upon which the world may gaze with admiration forever." No better advice than that given to this country by General George Washington could be found. For this reason I wish to include it here. -Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence . the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government." "But that jealousy, to be useful, must be impartial else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike for another, causes those whom they actuate to see danger only for one side and serve to veil and even second the acts of influence on the other." "Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people to surrender their influence." Dorothy Fales. PREFACE AND MEN WEPT:- This was the outstanding remark after the Republican Convention, Chicago, 1952. Why did they weep? Did they suddenly realize that unwittingly perhaps, unknowingly, they had been part of the betrayal of their country? Never was there a more flagrant flouting of the will of the American people and the Constitution of the United States of America. The man the American people wanted as their leader was lost to them, it was the zero hour, hearts were heavy, gloom was everywhere. General Douglas Mac Arthur, it was planned, was to be nominated on the second ballot, but the powers that be saw to it that there was no second ballot. WITH KNOWLEDGE COMES RESPONSIBILITY. Would any true American shirk the responsibility that is his as an American citizen if he had the knowledge? Had he the knowledge would he have permitted our sons to be sent to the far corners of the globe to police the world and to aid in setting up a world government? How many American boys lie beneath the sod, how many more are blinded, maimed for life, without arms or legs, mentally gone, and the end is not in sight. This knowledge was available to you but you could not believe, your heads were turned away, some in scorn and some in ridicule. Billions of dollars have been spent and more are planned to be spent and the taxes will fall not alone upon you, but upon those yet unborn for generations to come. We are facing WORLD WAR III, it is just around the corner, will you listen and will you act before we are a com- pletely lost nation? For this reason alone is this book presented for your reading, for:- WITH KNOWLEDGE COMES RESPONSI- BILITY. CONTENTS Declaration of Independence 1 Nicholas M.

I was taught the meaning of the Bill of Rights. In my youth, children in school, as well as at home, were taught the meaning of Bunker Hill, June 17th was a day commemorated, as was April 19th, when we celebrated the battles of Concord and Lexington. We were not taught hate, as our enemies would have us believe, we were taught the meaning of our freedom, the price we paid to attain it. We knew about the Boston Tea Party, why the tea was dumped in the harbor rather than pay the heavy taxes levied on it. We were taught the meaning of the Stamp Act and when the Fourth of July came it was given particular attention as the day of our Independence. For weeks men worked to build two large bonfires, one on Castle Hill, the other on Gallows Hill, tar barrels were piled high, old sleepers from the railroad tracks were covered with tar and placed on the pile, at the top for days flew the Stars and Stripes. At midnight, July 3rd, after an evening of music and fireworks, some man climbed the ladder at the side, the Stars and Stripes were brought down, the barrels were lighted. It was a bonfire that could be seen for miles around, it burned into the early hours of the morning, sometimes until six o'clock. No one thought of sleeping, old and young were awake, it was the day of our Independence, we thought, from the taxation and the tyranny of the British. Some of you will remember those days, some will never have heard of them for a strange silence of those days has come over our beloved country, a silence that bears a serious and tragic omen. What the Founders of this Republic fought and died for is fast slipping from our grasp, down through the years many attempts to wrest from us that well earned liberty have been made. England has never forgotten the wealth she lost when we gained our Independence. First it was the war of 1812 when the Red Coats burned the White House and sacked Washington, later they took part in our unfortunate Civil War, in the attempt to divide the North and the South, thus could they have taken over the country. Later an attempt was made to divide the country, East from the West, by such means did they try to starve the industrial East from the agricultural West. The British Empire was expanding, but it was also growing weak, for while Britain was busy exploiting countries, other countries increased their trade. This was particularly true at the time of the Boer War. Britain depends on her trade for her very existence, their boast has always been: "Brittania rules the waves'', by this control of the seas they were in a position to carry the trade, both raw materials and the finished product. Thus could they dominate. At the end of the Boer War they found themselves in competition with the German people. Germany had been building boats, while England was at war, and was securing the trade that had gone to England. As the years went by and Germany prospered, something had to be done about it. During the years of 1910-1911 England realized that the situation for her was not good, they realized that a war was in the offing, it was at this time that Lord Asquith offered Winston Churchill the post: Head of the Admiralty. The culmination came in 1914 when World War 1 broke out, it was a trade and economic war. Contrary to the advice of our all wise Founding Fathers, this country was drawn into the vortex of the intrigue. For a while it was a question whether we would go on the side of England or Germany. The J. P. Mor- gan banking house was the fiscal banker for the British and the French, they used not only their own funds but called on the bankers around the country. Things were not going so well for the Allies, England had her back to the wall, more help was needed, the bankers around the country were alarmed, they had loaned—other people's money, they called J.
