THE CRUSADE FOR FREEDOM The fundamental purpose of the Crusade For Freedom is the destruction of Russian-Soviet tyranny. We are engaged in psycho logical warfare directed to the satellite peoples behind the Iron Curtain. Our goal is the ultimate liberation of these people and their nations. We are engaged in this effort because we know our own liberty is endangered when others are enslaved. There can be no enduring peace so long as millions of men and women are forced to live under Communist oppression. Freedom and justice for each human being are God-given rights. We fought two World Wars—and our own American Revolution—to protect these rights. This basic philosophy is expressed in the paraphrase of Lincoln’s words, inscribed on the World Freedom Bell — "That this world, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.” General Eisenhower and General Clay have both emphasized over and over that if we can win this cold war, we will stand a much better chance of avoiding a global shooting war. Ideas are powerful weapons in the struggle for freedom and peace. We have allowed Moscow to seize the initiative in this field. We of the free world must take the offensive. The crisis will ultimately be resolved more by force of ideas than by force of arms. By sending truthful ideas through the Curtain, we blast the lies of the Kremlin propaganda machine. Truth is the deadliest enemy of Communism. Therefore the slogan for this year’s Crusade campaign is "Help Truth Fight Communism — Join the Crusade for Freedom.” We must not miss a single opportunity to undermine the morale and authority of the puppet regimes and feed the flame of resistance in the satellite countries. As Ambassador Grew puts it, "The busier we can keep the Bolsheviks in their own backyards, the less chance of their starting trouble anywhere else.” The people who live in slavery in the satellite countries need reassurance — they need to know that the free American people have not forgotten them. The Crusade for Freedom gives every American a chance to strike a blow against Communism. By enrolling and giving to the Crusade every American can do his share toward making this a free world — for everyone! PROOF OF EFFECTIVENESS OF "RADIO FREE EUROPE” 1. The Soviets immediately tried to jam the new transmitter, but without much success. 2. They threatened all of the station’s German personnel with execution by hanging, when Russia "liberates” Western Europe. 3. On May 21 the Czech Communist government issued an of ficial note of protest to our Government demanding that Radio Free Europe be taken off the air. (The United States replied by reminding the Red rulers that freedom of speech is a fundamental of our American democracy.) 4. Hundreds of letters of appreciation from listeners behind the Iron Curtain have been secretly delivered to Radio Free Europe in Munich. 5. Escapees from behind the Iron Curtain report a tremendous interest in the broadcasts.
