It's revolting-(and
' true to form) the
way our ultra-liberal
news media is heap-
ing abuse upon the
new anti-communist
government of Chile.
They vehemently
condemn the 'new
government and -ac-
cuse our 'CIA of in-
stigating the over-
throw of Allende's

anti-American Marxist regime. To that,
I say that if Uur government didn't
have a hand in the overthrow, why
didn't they?! The fact is that we are at
war with communism, and every
friendly nation that is spirited behind.
the iron curtain constitutes another.
nail in our coffin. This same news
media would probably scream bloody
murder if Castro were overthrown by
an anti-communist faction. And now,
Senator Edward Kennedy and Repre-
sentative Robert P. Drinan have intro-
duced, and are actively pushing, legis-
lation to admit upwards of 50,000
revolutionaries, Marxists, communists
and socialists from Chile who they
choose to describe as "political, refu-
gees". America needs more reds like a
mangy dog needs more fleas!
The fuel shortage cannot be blamed
entirely upon the Arab nations be=
cause our leaders have long known
that our principal source of oil is from
these unstable pro-Soviet countries.
We can chalk up many of our prob-
lems to poor planning and leadership,
not only by the current administra-
tion, but by all administrations since
World War 11. This blackmail is our
compensation for pouring food, ma-
chinery, military supplies and lechni
cal know-how into Arab lands. In ten
years since 1972, we gave $700 million
to Egypt alone and nearly $2 billion to
other countries.in the area. The pres-
ent outlook is one of deadly peril to
our economy and survival, so extreme
measures are justified. The President
should nntnediately call for a con-
ference of all nations that have been
blackmailed, and a counter-embargo
should be studied. A united and total
embargo' by the free nations could
bring the oil gangsters to their knees,
especially if Russia and.her satellites
are threatened with inclusion. Let's see
the Arabs build that gigantic truck
plant near Moscow which is scheduled
to materialize with American money
and technical know-how! All of us
know that pressure on the Arabs by
Russia could quickly end the current
oil embargo. As for domestic fuel
economy, the President can save many
millions of gallons. of gasoline and
fulfill an unfulfilled pledge. He can
lend his support for an immediate halt
to bussing, an asinine burden on our
children drat has solved nothing.
And my final comments are relative
to those poor unfortunates in Russia
who want to immigrate to Israel, but
cannot because they are unable to
obtain exit visas. Surely, we sympa-
thize with them and anyone else who
seeks . an escape from the yoke of
communism ... but why do they
alone warrant the official concern of
our government? Why aren't we exert-
ing equal legislative and news media
pressure for East Germans, Czechs,
Poles, Hungarians and even Chinese
(who are willing to swim from Red
China through shark-infested waters to
freedom in Hong Kong), all of whom
seek exit visas to freedom? Let's help
victims of communism, of course, but
let's be fair and , undiscriminating
about it.

the bhimr, and is not to he construed as
the official virn' of the Sons of the rf iner-
ican Revolution.
