What was the Big Lie of Hitler? Nazism's Big Lie was its depiction of Communism and of the Soviet Union. It was not merely anti-Semitism, racism, elitism, male chauvinism. The latter were "adornments" the better to trap victims of the Big Lie. The Lie itself was, and is, one which pictures Marxism-Leninism, socialism, Communism, as the embodiments of the Satanic - and its home, to quote Ronald Reagan, as an "evil empire." Hitler's Big Lie held and holds, that Marxism-Leninism, socialism and Communism were so awful that their alleged threat to so-called national security could not be tolerated. Hence, logically, they are to be outlawed and extirpated.

That was the main content of Hitler's Big Lie; on that basis, Jews - allegedly the carriers of Marxism - were to be annihilated; on that basis, democracy - allegedly the ally of Marxism - was to be suppressed; on that basis, trade unions - allegedly the creation of and training grounds for Marxism - were to be prohibited; and on that basis the Soviet Union, lair of the "Marxist devil" - was to be destroyed.

The entire history of fascism, of nazism and of its imitators, demonstrates that the policy of anti-communism and of anti-Sovietism, is the trump card of fascism, its main propaganda technique. On the basis of that experience one must affirm that a policy of anti-communism and anti-Sovietism makes impossible effective struggle against reaction, against fascism or against preparations for war, - or against racism and anti- Semitism...

In successfully resisting Hitler, the USSR saved all of its peoples and all of its nationalities - Russians, Ukrainians, Byelorussians, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Jews, and a hundred more - all but the twenty millions who were martyred; and all are equally honored for defending humanity against the fascist scourge...

Albert Einstein, in 1945, said that the Jewish people never would forget that among the Allies, it was the USSR alone which saved vast numbers of Jews. Similarly it was Nahum Goldmann himself, the former President of the World Jewish Congress, who wrote in the N.Y. Times, January 8, 1979, that "it should be remembered

that the Soviet Government saved hundreds of thousands of Jews by enabling them to escape from nazism, and that without Russia the state of Israel would not exist today."

IN MEMÓRIÁM PAUL K. SALOKY

In remembrance of my dear son, Paul K. Saloky I have to recall that he died Sept. 20th, 1960. after an 18 month illness. He was a graduate of the Phillipsburgh High School in 1941. where he was an accomplished athlete: played halfback

while in school and held the school's track record in the 220 yard dash for 20 years. He served in the Navy in Japan, after which he attended Lafayette College. He is survived by his wife, Arlene, three daughters, Susan, Jenny and Marie, brother William. He will never be forgetten.

His loving mother:

Democrats Can Beat Reagan If Party Will Pledge to Peace

Rv AI AM CD A VSTOV

Despite his personal popularity, Ronald

Reagan can be beaten.

The Democrats face a hard, uphill battle this November. But Reagan, whom many voters view as a trigger- happy President, can be defeated* provided the Democratic Party can convince the American people that of the party of peace.

Reagan's unfair

economic politicies-high interest rates, high unemployment, huge deficits- have made himpolitically vulnerable, but public-opinion polls show that he is even more vulnerable because of his conduct of foreign affairs, especially nuclear arms controll And for good reason.

This year's presidential campaign will be conducted against a backdrop of 50,000 nuclear weapons loose in the world and the U.S.-Soviet arms race spiraling out of control into outer space.

The Reagan record is abysmal.

He has opposed every major arms-control agreement that every Democratic and Republican President since 1960 negotiated with the Soviet Union. Since Reagan entered the White House, U.S.-Soviet arms negotiations have ground to a halt. He is the first American President in half

a century who has not met face-to-Iace with Soviet leaders. There is increasing hostility between the United States and the Soviet Union; both governments are inclined to use force or the threat of force to further national policy, and warning time in the event of a nuclear attack is now less than 10 minutes for both.

If Reagan were reelected and no longer restrained by the prospect of facing voters, the prospects would be even more dangerous.

The Democratic nominee, whoever he is, must be absolutely dedicated to peace, absolutely determined to bring the arms race to an end. And he must conduct a campaign that will convince the American people of his sincerity and his ability to produce.
