Patriotic Watchfulness
Not a Subject for Jest
To the Editor OF The star.

To the Editor OF The star:
1t was with considerable surprise and
deep regret that / learned on Sunday,
April 22. that your columns were open
TO such eleverly contrived attacks on
patriotic watchfulneSS as that which
appeared under the title The Sad Tale
of Agent 1861" and in the guise of
humorous article 1t is not necessary
for me to say that the most inSidious
and difficult attacks to combat are those
which seek to becloud the issue with
laughter. This is no matter for levity.
and 1t III BELTS publication with the
long and honorable reputation OF The
Star to be a party to any program
which has as its object the lulling of the
American people into false sense OF
security.
If what is implied in the article re-
ferred TO is true, why did not the Gov
ernment adopt the policy advocated
during the war? Why are not all spies
from the enemy permitted to talk at
will among the soldiers Of our Army?
Why are not pacifistS permitted to
preach their doctrines among our SOL
diers when in training? 1t is not free
speech that the reds" want but license
TO disaffect the less intelligent by prop
aganda designed to create a critical
attitude of distrust toward our Govern
ment, 10 advocate reduction of Army
and Navy and eliminate them il posi-
BILE. with the ultimate purpose of having
no disciplined forces to oppose the revo-
luton which they hope for-though
vainly, to be sure--and TO create as
many advocates OF their world revolu-
tionary policies as possible.
When England and France found
ca pa lfNa1 ND vi
acing that they deemed il necessary to
request the recall OF their diplomatic
officers. and went SO far in England as
TO raid them. why is 1t that you, an old
conservative paper. feel that We should
allow them free rein to create all the
damage Of which they are capable2 Can
there be any question OF their advocacy
of objects directly linked with the Teyo-
Mtionary movement? Hardly SO, If you
will reflect upon the subtle attempt
made by their delegation at Geneva to
bring about world disarmament which
was aborted by the speech Of Lord
CuShenden of England, who not only
exposed. ridiculed and laid bare their
attempt, but succeeded in convincing
the other powers, who lost no time in
voting almost unanimously against their
PROPOSAL.
While there Is every reason to believe
that our people are beyond the influence
Of openly declared communistic agents,
when viewed as a nation. that Is no
reason why We should sit idly by while
they seek by one means or another TO
destroy our Army and Navy. in the be-
lief that it will make more possible their
ultimate aims through lack OF power TO
resist. It Is not question of interna-
tionai negotiation. not a matter of the
usual diplomatic treating with an estab-
liShed national government. but con-
test with insidious unprincipled forces
which never come out In the open until
II Is no longer necessary 10 work under
cover using where possible the gullible
members Of society 10 accomplish their
purposes In the erroneous belief that
they are advancing worthy cause
