(The imagery of this cartoon should still be heeded today by those who claim to support socialism. Communism/socialism is still the same evil, totalitarian system it has always been. It is fair to say that communism/socialism always ends the same way, with mountains of dead bodies.)

Note the report at bottom: "Merchant Submarine Fleet Recommended to Combat German U-boat Menace By Inventor"
(An interesting argument, but his assessment of the situation is completely inaccurate and his solution is quite unrealistic.)

(Click on the image for a readable version.)
 
Note the report in column 4: "Nazis Execute 12,442 Civilians Since War Start"
(This number is probably much lower than the real number.)


December 3, 1939: Front page of The Hammond Times, Hammond, Indiana.
(Click on the image for a readable version.)
 
Note the report in column 3: "Socialists To Hear M'Dowell"
(The most interesting detail in this piece is that the speaker is a member of the Chicago's Teachers Union. Socialists/communists/Nazis all knew that they had to control the education system in order to "teach" the children the "right" information. This is still happening, at an unbelievable level, in our schools today. To learn the end result of such propaganda, just refer to the cartoon above.)


December 3, 1939: Front page of The Escanaba Daily Press, Escanaba, Michigan.
(Click on the image for a readable version.)
 
Note the report in column 2: "Mexican Court Backs Oil Grab"
Also note the report in column 6: "John Christ Must Quit Drinking And Kiss Wife Daily"
(A most unusual way of dealing with a chronic problem.)
