our mission is to help our host nation build up its army air force and Navy patrols we're training officers in strategy and tactics the use of American weapons vehicles and machines it's all set forth there Colonel I gather the communist problem here is bad sir yes it is the people here the overwhelming majority are perfectly sound but they figure there are so many thousands of miles away from Russia so what can a few local comrades do plenty yes of course senseless strikes sabotage espionage propaganda we know all that the government here knows it they have to be cautious so do we some commies yelled at me at the airport then in the old city we ran into some brave comrades starting to beat up a girl she insisted I leave fast before the police came to avoid publicity for my uniform she said smart girl public row between us and the comrades would only add fuel to their asinine propaganda that we're out for imperialistic control and so forth caution is the word sergeant never forget it I won't sir about my duties as your age well your first one will be tonight sergeant attending a reception here at the embassy yes sir you'll meet everybody including the ambassador of course many high government officials will be here their wives daughters so forth wonderful people as you'll see and you'll meet some not so one yes sir for good public relations we even have to invite a few communists the one that'll surely be here tonight is Carlos Sedalo editor of a commie inspired weekly paper now no matter how he gets your goat sergeant don't punch him in the nose mr. ambassador the newest member of our military mission my aid sergeant David Martin ambassador glad to have you aboard sergeant the ambassador used to be in the Navy sergeant don't quote me gentlemen

Sedalo good evening mr. Sedalo senior and you may be gracious enough to remember my sister Elisa well of course mr. Dalos and our newest arrival sergeant Martin mr. Dalos a great friend of the United States sergeant head of a movement here to have English taught in every school a great pleasure to meet you mr.

Dalos I love this embassy garden sergeant it is so peaceful yes it is peaceful here like it was not in the street this morning I thank you for catching my hint that we had never met before my brother would only have asked questions I don't suppose I ought to ask any you wonder how I can be a friend of the United States and my brother a communist of course perhaps you believe I too am a communist but I only pose as your friend it'll be just the thing they would do a communist if I were one could even have planned that street fight this morning in order to interest you make you believe I was hated by the communists here and if you don't mind that's what I did think except yes I'll accept a real comrade would have wanted me to get caught in a public brawl you didn't what about your brother Carlos he's a passionate idealist he knows nothing of the real world tricked by the communists we come of an old proud family sergeant the communists use my brother many a terrible thing he's done in his name and he will not understand it he's too gullible for his own good he believes all the things the communists tell him you can't convince him he believes every lie that Moscow tells oh he's really a wonderful person it's a shame he doesn't know how they're using him but you and he are still friendly but someday that is one of the things I hate most about communism it turns children against parents brother against sister it is an evil corrupt thing sergeant Martin and for it to come to our beautiful peaceful country sergeant do you still suspect I might be one of them my mother always warned me against believing what a beautiful girl might tell me in a moonlit garden but I'd certainly like to believe you congratulations on a nice party mr. ambassador yes all hands seem to enjoy themselves Colonel except me yes sergeant I speak to you a moment sir well you'll excuse me mr. ambassador a good night what is it sergeant here in my office sir yes oh this blood on the windows

ambassador I'm sure we can count on full cooperation from the government and the police sergeant I understand you're suspicious of miss the devil's part in this thing her reputation as a friend of ours might be a cover while she actually helps her brother hate to think of a girl like that very young man sergeant you're singularly immune to our good looks well not entirely sir it seems to me the best move would be to locate her make sure if she was in on the theft or not all right with you mr. ambassador has to be full speed ahead sergeant sergeant change to civilian clothes the city police

night of the week he prepares the paper for publication in the early morning he must be at his office yes that is right okay I'll pay him a little bit wait I will go with you maybe trouble I'm sure he

daybreak they wait for it to come off the press Carlos an important paper belonging to the American embassy is missing maybe you can help us get it back to copy the official orders of the American military mission why should you come to me about this the dollar we believe it will eventually get to you for publication why do you fear it's publication it's going to be published but not by you fellow sergeant wait Carlos that document was stolen from the embassy while we were there stolen and a man was murdered trying to prevent it you'll lie you will never believe that your communists are thieves and murders and worse I beg you to believe now I was not told it was stolen nor was I told of a murder it's true Sadalo I am awaiting now a messenger who brings to me an important document I I planned it for our paper tonight as you guessed Carlos you're sure the men outside are only your distributors your street vendors just a moment you heard sergeant they have orders to make trouble make a demonstration against the embassy and you Carlos you did not know of it you see they do not tell you everything your communist bosses they only you will be quiet theft and murder are no way to help anybody Sadalo please you are ordered to publish something you are not even told what it is a demonstration is ordered and you have to learn it from this the ruffians outside Carlos before it is too late wait I will do this I will permit the sergeant to wait here with me until the messenger comes I will find out if your story of murder is true if not that's fair enough Sadalo I will wait to know Elisa you will go now whatever is to happen tonight I do not want you as a witness as sergeants began some time Colonel got a tricky job Colonel I look there across the square those men you see them all groups of foreign file in the shadows I don't like it might be a demonstration in the making I'll let the police know no Colonel it doesn't help our side to be yelling for the police let's wait take our chances yes whatever happens I hope there's no violence you are afraid no but violence sounds nothing what happens to you and to me is not important we live at a crisis in history if you die more or less it is the future that is important that's one difference between us and you fellow Sadalo we care about human life not only in the future but now sergeant what you do not understand a waste of breath you're back door Sadalo yes I hear last is the document we'll read this better hurry Sadalo your men are getting impatient sergeant is this the true directive looks like it well this first paragraph the agreement to eliminate the communist apparatus at the northern naval base it states here the apparatus has been found ready to destroy the base entirely is that true didn't you know about it I wait I read more you are only 46 men in the military mission that's all we were told over 500 who told you and this later paragraph the United States military mission will leave the host nation at the simple request of the government all expenses of the mission are borne by the mission itself if we're not wanted we don't stay clear enough Sadalo just a moment on the back of the paper here see this stain yes a bloodstain isn't it maybe caused by our man trying to get it back from the thief after he was stabbed Sadalo do you believe now there was a murder Elisa she told me of murders of violence death I took it all to be lies I saw nothing of it they didn't tell you why not I believe in the cause the world must be cured of its sickness Lenin told us how but why did they not tell me the truth they never do I believe we printed only the truth I believe only in the truth not in lies not in death you told me before that our deaths weren't important they are not not if we die for the truth but sergeant sergeant I do not wish to die for a lie to fight lies one must live here's I have done you and your people injustice your men outside Sadalo was forgetting them sergeant if I was fooled they must have been fooled too they and lots of others they have been made to believe you or our enemies I see from this paper you are not they have been told that lies are the truth and that the truth is a lie as I was told that here take your document and go you come with me no no I have helped to deceive these men sergeant I have a debt to them but you must go you must tell Elisa I was a fool as she said a fool that faces up to his mistakes he's a man Sadalo please go now I call you comrades no more but friends there must be no demonstration no violence I have just seen a document it proves that our leaders lie to us they tell us the Americans are the enemies of our country but this document proves the contrary you understand the Americans are our true friends it is the communists everywhere who are our real enemies I say the truth Fernando the communists trick us with fine-sounding words but they use us only to lie I have learned the beginnings of truth I say it to you from my heart that has been true to ourselves and to our country not the son comes up see there Colonel across the square men are gone yes are you all right can you not tell it from learn something gentlemen hello at the gate sergeant Martin alone let us see you back aboard son well sergeant the directive sir good work my boy it's a relief sergeant Carlos read it Elisa suddenly everything you'd ever told him that began to make sense plus reading this he saw he'd been badly fooled then he decided to talk to the men outside the demonstrators oh from back of his office I heard
