 Thailand has been a happy and wealthy nation. From time to time, the Thai nation has faced danger from beyond its borders. But because of our unity and courage in the dark hours, we have come through safely, but now a new peril greater than ever before faces the Thai nation. This peril is the aggression of communism. The motion picture you are about to see shows a brief history of the communist aggression, the misery it has brought to the people, the enslavement contrasted with the blessings of Thai life. You will then understand why we must resist communism. Communism begins with this German named Karl Marx. 100 years ago, he created the theory of communism in one of his books. This is the book, an official copy printed in Moscow, which explains that communism is based on two main ideas. All religion is bad and that all private property is bad. Therefore, Marx said, religion must be destroyed. All private property must be seized by the state. Marx stated that all this must be done by revolution, by force, by violence. But nothing important happened with the idea of communism until 1917, when the Russian army was defeated in the First World War. The defeated soldiers were dirty and fighting amongst themselves. Everybody in Russia was discouraged and restless. This was a chance for the communists to grab power. Russian disciple of Karl Marx, the top communist leader talked fast and promised peace and food to the confused peasants and workers. But the Russian people discovered too late that communism means not peace, but more war, more aggression, and less food and comfort. Lotsky-Lenin's partner was another rabble rouser. This man was later murdered by agents of Stalin. Communist leaders whipped up the Russians into fury. They lost their heads, stormed the palace, to the sacred shrines. Here are the ruins of royal tradition destroyed by communist exactly as Karl Marx preached. The revolution over, the communists controlled the country. They set up headquarters for world communism in the dreadful Kremlin. This is Stalin, who, after Lenin's death, seized all power into his own hands. And so, from this Kremlin, the Russians have pushed communism into Asia by brute force and honeyed promises. This is the McCall. Now, we ties face the communist mess, which comes nearer and nearer to the McCall, our tie border. From this building, the Kremlin, Russian communists send orders to local communists all over the world, including tie traders to work against our independence. These orders were formally transmitted through the Communist International, known as the Commintern. When Russia needed Allied aid, the communists pretended to abolish the Commintern. But all they did was change the name. It is now called the Common Fall. The shadow boss still supports the tie traders harming our country. Since World War II, the Communist International has expanded its activities. In Europe, countries were gobbled up quickly. This is Marsary, Premier of Czechoslovakia, a small nation like Thailand. He believed in democracy and refused to bow to the communists. So this is Marsary's funeral. He was pushed out of a high window. Czechoslovakia, whose people didn't think it could happen, was devoured. The communists celebrated with a parade. See the picture of Stalin, a Russian carried in the Communist parade. Local communists all over the world must salute Stalin. They're a foreign master like this. This map shows how communists supported by Russian armies took over Eastern Europe, country by country. Let's see the Russians formally and officially take over each country. First step, a train enters Moscow station. Second step, a Bulgarian trader is greeted by a Russian officer. Third step, the Bulgarian leader signs over his people and their lives and property to Russians. They're masters. Trader returns home and a huge parade is staged. Why it's Stalin, a Russian, leading a Bulgarian parade. If Thailand is ruled by communists, we will certainly have this kind of parade. Thai youth will have to carry pictures of Molokov, Mao Zedong, and Ho Chi Minh. We don't ever want to witness such a disgraceful parade. And so Bulgaria went behind the Iron Curtain. Next, the Poles came to Moscow. Same station, same reception, same betrayal, freedom is signed away. Like in former days, Poland once more becomes Russian property. Still more traders. This time, Romanian communists obediently come to Moscow to sign away their country to Russians. Same room, same table, stage the usual parade. See the foreign faces, Russian faces. Here in Romania, they control every local leader. Never in Thai history have we carried foreign faces in our parades and never will. Here is all the proof anybody needs that communism means Russian domination of your country. Next, Hungarian communist leaders went to Moscow and signed the same papers. On return home, the same kind of parade, the same foreign faces, Russian faces. Here he is again, clear, unmistakable, proof who runs communism. And now enslaved by the new imperialism, this is how the Iron Curtain descended over Eastern Europe. From Moscow, communism has spread all the way to Southeast Asia. The shadow boss of international communism who works in the Kremlin has seized lands of many peoples, not by free consent, but by secret and open aggression. This is May Kong. Our border, communist Vietnam forces aided by Russians and Chinese are already close to it. But we still have time and talent to ask, how bad are conditions under communism? First, let us consider the life of the farmer under communism. These farmers are poor because they are forced into collective farms. They must turn over most of their crops to the government, leaving them very little to eat. But here in Thailand, we are better off with fish in the pond, rice in the fields. These same farmers were in a communist country. They would slave all day from morning to night, every month of the year without rest. And at the end, the government would take all the crop, leaving only the barest subsistence, and ship it to China or Russia where food is scarce. Our children would be starving and sad like the Russian and Chinese children today. See the happy times. We must keep our children happy and free. Let's consider the fate of religion under communism. Let's find out the true official position of the communist towards religion. Karl Marx said, religion is the opium of the people that must be destroyed. Here is the official text of Lenin on religion. This violently anti-religious book has never before appeared in Thailand because the communists would never dare tell the devout Thai people their innermost schemes against religion. Sure, showing what communists do when they seize a country, these pictures were taken by the communists in Spain in 1937 to boast of their victory over religion before they were driven out of that country. Here are bullets spattered walls, burned out churches, dead bodies of priests, things we don't like to believe about anyone ever doing to religion. Like communists in China, Korea, Vietnam, communists mocking the Virgin Mary, a hat on her head, a fancy dress on her, and kicking her over. They have done this to Lord Buddha in other countries. Religious ideas are an abomination. Communism abolishes all religion and morality. Some uninformed people don't believe that a communist would ever burn down a watt or kill a priest. Here is all the proof we need. Sir, parasites in society only fools believe in priests. I hate all the communists hostility towards religion. We will protect Lord Buddha. Next, what of education under communism? Of course they have classrooms and laboratories, but the question is what kind of education do students get? Is it education for self-improvement? To get a better job? To learn the truth? Communist education by Kalanin, the top communist authority. On page 131, he states, the fundamental and chief task of communist education is to render the maximum assistance in the class struggle we are waging. King Chulalongkorn said, the purpose of education is to help men to improve themselves. To learn the truth, our Thai schools are progressing each day. We don't want education for a class struggle, to turn people against one another. We teach cooperation to bring progress to all the people. Look, peace, love, peaceful, and happy. That's our idea of education. Happiness for all, we aggressors, like this. What a freedom of expression in communist countries. Every newspaper in communist countries is government-owned. Writers must agree with a party line. People can read only government propaganda. No opposition press is allowed. But in Thailand, the press is free. Anyone can publish a newspaper. Readers get accurate foreign and local news and can read any newspapers they like. In communist trials like this, the defendant has few rights. Communist judges mistreat the defendant, innocent and guilty alike. Couples live in fear, and their prisoners are sent to slave labor camps for minor offenses. 15 million slave laborers work like animals without rights or justice. This is the Ministry of Justice in Bangkok. In our Thailand, the lolliest citizen may obtain a fair hearing. We can sue the government. We are not afraid the court will side with the government or that the government will persecute us. Next, what a folding under communism, the most laughable of all of communist pretenses is that they conduct elections. The government names the one candidate. You can only vote for him. In Thailand, however, elections are free. The opposition party may send their candidates. We have the right to vote as we please without fear or reprisal of any kind. In Russia, one has to acquire a passport to travel even to another county. We can go abroad whenever we want. Russia and China people have no freedom of movement. A true iron curtain, no one allowed in or out except communist officials on official business. Communist aggression has come very close to our borders. Communism is not just a vague theory or philosophy. It is a new colonialism. It is a movement of ruthless foreign leaders, of invading armies, of Thai traders serving foreign masses, a Buddhist country which have been seized by the Chinese communists. Communist finally triumphed with the promise to give the people food, peace and happiness. Chinese refugees look happy. Communist seized China. They took step one. They went to Moscow. Step two, they signed the usual Russian treaty. Step three, they staged the usual parade back home. See the Russian faces so important in a Chinese parade. Russians who are foreigners have taken over the Chinese parade. World War II. Russia set up a communist puppet regime. So once again, Kim Il-sung, the puppet premier, has called into Moscow to sign the usual Russian treaty. He had been long trained in Moscow, became and still is a Russian citizen. Stalin's picture dominates the scene. Promptly, so-called peace rallies were staged at Russian direction to masquerade communist war plans. And in 1950, North Korea, by the order of the Russian masters, invaded South Korea. Kim Il-sung discovered recently, proved at Narmil and other North Korean army commanders, old commissions of the Russian army, that Russian army officers planned the invasion and ran the entire war. To resist communism in Korea, except for the UN and Thailand, too, all Korea would have been, but still peace is the communist slogan. Hands tied behind them, killed without mercy by communists who were still talking about peace as they pulled the trigger on these helpless people, even little children. The only communist peace is the peace of the grave, the peace of death, be closer to the may call. The revolution does not mean to let ties live in peace. It approaches closer all the time. Whenever there is any chance the communist would invade us, too. This is Ho Chi Minh, venerated as a patriot by thousands who never realized he had been a communist for 30 years. By fighting the old colonialism, he attracted followers to help establish the new. One may ask, is Ho really a communist? The answer is that when Stalin died, Ho sent this message to Malenkov, the new leader in Moscow. A venerated guide, a great Stalin is no more. I solemnly take the oath to follow Comrade Malenkov more closely than ever. Soon, Vietnam troops marched into Hanoi, and their allegiance to Russia and Chinese communists was immediately clear. One faces dominated every street. Pictures of Malenkov and Mao let every parade appear on every wall, exactly the same way the communists themselves force on every captured country. So a new colonialism has devoured our unhappy Vietnamese neighbors. And now we, Thai, know the full truth of the menace. Communist attack on Thailand goes to Nai Pradeep on Namyang, an impicking capital of communist China. Pradeep is quoted and flattered on radio speaking. Now living in Peking, where he has stripped off the mask, revealing his true nature, a Thai traitor. And so the bosses in Moscow and Peking have found a Thai pride, a former Thai statesman who is willing to lure his own people into the communist empire. Communists have set up a so-called Thai autonomous state in Yunnan to expand to include all Thai's in Laos, Burma, and in Thailand. Of course it will be run from Peking in Moscow. This is a trick to get Thailand to give up its independence. One may ask, why is the huge Russian and Chinese war machine so interested in little Thailand? Because we are attempting prize, a granary of Southeast Asia, thousands of tons of rice for export. Free world nations buy them for a fair price. The communists want to control our rice fields, work our farmers like slaves, send away the rice crops to China and Russia. These busy ships, our many businesses would be confiscated if Thailand went behind the iron curtain of poverty and starvation in prosperous industries. We don't need any communist help. We are progressing. We are modern in our own Thai ways. These are our industries. They feed us, clothe us, build our houses, give us jobs. Nobody's starves. Let's keep it that way, the Thai way. Communist-age fake peace rallies like this. According to reported aggression in Indochina, our neighbor, publications have come even to Thailand to genuine samples, actually written and printed in Thailand. Some of those who prefer Malangkong, Mao, and Ho Chi Minh to Thailand, Greece teaches that peace is not a word. Peace is what people think. Enclosing this motion picture summarized quickly what we have seen of communist thoughts and deeds. We have seen that communism began with Karl Marx over 100 years ago. We have felt that all religion must be destroyed and that private property, like rice farms, must be seized by the state. This is the unchangeable rule of communism today. What Lenin and Stalin did, what Mao and Ho Chi Minh are doing today. The official Moscow texts admits all of this. We have seen that communism got its start in Russia during the chaos and confusion, followed World War I. They promised peace and food, but have brought only war and starvation to their victims. We have seen that they conquer both by arms and by subversion, run by the shadow boss, the Kremlin, who gives orders to traders in many lands, including a few Thai traders. We have seen how free nations were tricked or overwhelmed in Eastern Europe, and our China, North Korea, and Tibet have been overcome too. We have seen how local communists go to Moscow to sign over their lords and people to the top communists, the Russians, the same room, the same table, the same tragedy each time. We have seen that the same Russian faces dominate every communist parade anywhere in the world, and we have seen that no matter how much the communists promise peace, they always bring war. War in Korea broke out in 1950 without excuse. Dead bodies, brutal killings, even little children with their hands tied behind them. But the nations, including Thailand, held the communists and threw them back, proving that the free world is stronger than the slave world if we all stand together. Communists overran North Vietnam, but now the Vietnamese face the new colonialism of communists under Ho Chi Minh, who has been a secret Moscow train member for 20 years. And here is proof once more that communism means foreign domination, Malenkov's face, Mao's face. Here is the evidence that we Thais must see and understand because now we know that Nye Pradee is like hope, a communist tool scheming to deliver up his native land. And so we stand behind the Mekong, alert, brave, with strong friends in the free world at our side. Do not resist the communists. Future generations of Thai children will wear no smiles. We shall defend our religion. We shall defend our constitution and our democracy. We shall defend our king. What Chulawit said, whoever violates the sovereignty of Thailand shall meet with overwhelming resistance. Thai will rise as one to hurl out the invader. And beside us.
