In fact, government officials
and Congressmen would prob-
ably do well to visit shrines
themselves, because there is a
lesson to be learned from them.

Never before have Americans
paid tribute to preserve peace.
Today, billions are spent in an
international blackmail scheme.

The foreign aid program since
early days of European postwar
relief has been on this basis
. . . “either we give them money.

Purpose of U. 8. Travel Com-
mission will be to help foreign
... governments persuade Ameri-
cans with any money left after
taxes for foreign aid to travel in
Europe.

All kinds of rationalization is
given for this effort.
It is not enough that more than
$54 billion have already been
stripped from U. S. taxpayers
for foreign aid. Now It will be-
come the duty of every wealthy
American to toss a portion of
his tax free income into Europe.

Many feel ever increasing offi-
cial U. S. concern with foreign
nations is a greater threat to
Republic than communism.

Eagerness to set up a bureau to
encourage Americans to travel in
Europe Is just another Indication
because anytime government
sets up new bureau, taxpayers
foot bill, and presumably this
is supposed to be the time when
expenses are to be pruned.
