Emergency help for Russian military

Only illiterates will fail to see that the REAL story in

    today's newspapers is : Desperation in Russia . How much more important

    than our Monagate !

          " The mood within the military is as angry now as it was in 1917 "

    ( Dave Montgomery article, Knight Ridder Newspapers )

          Unpaid for months,Russia's once proud army is " grubbing for

    potatoes... SELLING their blood " .

           Soldiers are often asked to give their life blood for their

    country, But what a disgrace to SELL it because of hunger !

          There is greater danger of this vast -nuclear armed - country

    going crazy FASCIST than going stupidly back to Stalinism .

          For the present the situation in the military can be described

    as Stalingrad without Stalin .

          Can the old FREE WORLD coalition help the Russian army ? It

    might touch their hearts to be supplied with  food reserved for our

    own military. How much surplus can we afford ?

           After helping Russia out with a dramatic  " Berlin airlift "

    type gesture, it will be easier for our military to get more funding

    from Congress for its own needs .

             If we do not help them, we will - to paraphrase a cruel Russian

    army officer - soon find out " what the real WORLD is like ".

            Starving bitter Russian soldiers demand a little more attention

    than silly White House sex scandals .
