was almost identical, as any even moderately well read student of<br />

American history can observe from numberless passages in the works of<br />

America’s founders down to the [use of?] Russian false news. Send out<br />

these cargoes of lies. It is the way (England’s way) of passing [up?] the<br />

winner, remarked Mr. J. Adams, senior. If you haven’t a library, you<br />

could at least get the main points from my outrageous and obstreperous<br />

Cantos. There is enough there to show that what you do now AGAINST<br />

justice, against all of Europe you did then against justice, and against<br />

what there then was of America. No wonder your conscience is ticklish.<br />

Yes, you had then some luxuries, for example “the house of the Banker<br />

CHILD.” You had some pretty and taking habits. Taking at most times,<br />

and not always so all fired pretty. And you had enough free speech to<br />

mention the war of Jenkins’ ear, wherein perished Mr. G. Washington’s<br />

brother. And Mr. Adams WON the American Revolution as a law case,<br />

before you turned your cannon against him. Just as Europe would have<br />

won this case as a LAW case, had any court been established to try it.<br />

You can say, figuratively, that EUROPE did win the war as a LAW case.<br />

England was OUT of justice. Whatever pretty little ways you had left, I<br />

admit some of you have parlor manners: UNTIL something upsets you.<br />

EUROPE won this war as law case, and your Brain Trust WON’T face<br />

that. And your Brain Trust will NOT even LOOK into the crime, the<br />

nature of crime. You read Ed Wallace, a very exciting author, who writes<br />

in praise of detectives, detectives sprung from his fertile fancy, but you<br />

will NOT face the findings of the two real detectives, Duce and Führer.<br />

You have passed over their evidence, and you had, BEFORE this war<br />

started, pretty well thrown out the testimony of your OWN witnesses:<br />

Gibbs, Yeats, Brown, and the rest of ’em. And it has NOT been lucky.<br />

and I don’t think you will git back Shonanko. And I do not think your<br />

policy in refusing to collaborate with the continent <strong>OF</strong> Europe has been<br />

either prudent or wise, or that it has been based on any very lively thirst<br />

after justice. Whatever you are still free to SAY openly on this subject,<br />

there is plenty that is LEFT OUT of the Brain Trust’s Sunday<br />

evangelical service. But one thing I tell you, and believe you me, Europe
