Palestine Affair Essentially Wicked
F. J., Farrell, Pa.
Transcribed from the clipping
“To the Editor: World powers have formed the United Nations Organization, but I feel that it is doomed just like the League of Nations. Both were set up to rule the lesser nation. No world power is good enough to rule others. They will make slaves of the smaller countries. For instance, the Palestine affair is essentially wicked and was arranged by the United States and Britain. It is rank imperialism and colonialism and is heading the whole world for war again. It will be the poor as usual who will have to shed their blood and die while the rich sit home. The Arab and the Jew should be allowed to settle their own affair. Pure greed is behind the great powers meddling in the situation.”
