troy all religion and teach hatred
of God.
Second, they seek to destroy
private property and inheritance.
Third, to use the Communist
International at Moscow to
spread strikes, riots, sabotage
and industrial unrest in all non
communist countries.
Fourth, to promote the bitter
est class hatred.
Fifth, to bring about a class
or civil war in order to establish
a soviet form of government,
under the red flag, with the
world capital at Moscow.
Those are the principles of
communism. None of them can
appeal to the free people of this
country. Therefore, l say, the
way to combat communism is BY
education, to point out to the
American people just what these
Communists stand for, and COM
munism will not go very far. The
trouble is that these Communists
are fanatics, and are we'll organ
led But another reason why
they cannot appeal to Americans
is that they are not an American
party at all. They are section
of the Communist International,
taking their orders, glorying in
taking their orders, from Mos
COW, and when it comes to
spreading their doctrines and in
citing strikes, riots, and sabotage
it comes directly under the or
ders from Moscow. Therefore,
American citizens cannot have
very much sympathy with alien
doctrines of that kind.
There are so many women in
this audience that | think l will
say just a few words on the re-
ligious aspect. There are quite a
number of Protestant ministers
who seem to like to uphold and
commend communism and try to
make out that the Communists
are merely against the old Greek
Orthodox Church. That is not
so for a minute. They are against
all religions. They teach hatred
of God in the public schools of
Russia every day. They make it
compulsory to such an extent
that when the young people of
Russia go back home and find
their parents maintain, or have
the ternerity to maintain, any
kind of religious belief, they
must hold their parents in con-
tempt and disobey them.
1t is not atheism-anyone has
the right not to believe; but it is
the bitterest kind of militant |
teaching of the hatred of God
and the destruction of all forms
Of religion, whether it is Protes-
tant, Catholic, Jewish, or the old
Greek Orthodox Church. But
THESE Protestant ministers con-
fuse the issue between the COM
munism of the early Christians,
a communism of love, based up
on the Kingdom of God, and

have got to do is to 60 back home.
(Applause.) But if they persist
in spreading this doctrine of poi
son and hatred and urging the
overthrow of our system of gov
eminent by force and violence,
then it is clearly the duty of the
Congress of the United States
to enact laws to deport all alien
Communists (Applause.)
Voice: Why don't you do it?
Mr.. Fish: Well, | haven't the
majority myself.
They do not fear our police,
or our courts, or our jails. The
only thing they fear is to be de-
ported back home, to the coun-
try they came from, where they
would have no freedom of speech
and can enjoy the low wage scale
and oppressive laws they have
been accustomed to in the past.
(Applause.)
Now, we haven't any right to
question what government any
other nation may have. However,
as far as Russia is concerned, it
is somewhat different, because
the Soviet Government, through
the Communist international, in
sists on spreading riots, strikes,
sabotage, and industrial unrest in
America and trying to impose
upon us their form of govern
ment. Therefore we have at least
the right to see what is going on
in Soviet Russia at the present
time.
Incredible as it may seem, last
year, in what was formerly the
granary of Europe, 100000
Russians starved to death under
the Communist system of gov
eminent. Why, if a hundred or
a dozen Americans should starve
to death under our industrial
system, known as capitalism, it
would be headlined through every
paper in America as the doom
of capitalism. Yet, over in Sow
let Russia, which hitherto has
been the 'granary of Europe"
100000 people, not through an
"act of God" not through any
drought or anything of that kind,
starved to death. The great mass
of the population over there, af-
ter II years of rule under the
Communists, are undernourished
and starving.
Some of our foreign diplomats
have told me that there is a
marked difference in the seces-
sionist states, such as Finland
and Latvia. There the peasants
have good houses which are in
good state of repair; they are
properly clothed and fed, and
contented. Crossing the border
land into this beautiful, pros
porous, and peaceful Soviet
Russia you find the houses dilap-
idated, the people underfed and
in rags, and living in state of
terror. Why, if they would let
down the emigration barriers in
Soviet Russia, half of the terri
fled population would try to get
out in 80 days and come to the
United States of America, if we

Our republican form of gov

Communists and Socialists, and
Stain, Hitler, and Mussolini tell
you, the American people, that
democracy has failed and that
you are not competent for self

say to you that the American
people do not propose to surren-

how that was brought about.
That was one of the greatest
hoaxes that has ever been impos-
ed upon the American people.
(Applause.) One must give Gre
dit where credit is due. These
Communists are skilled propa-
gandists and diplomats. They
built up this idea of 81 100000
600 trade with Soviet Russia if
we would recognize them, and
they dangled that bait before the
big capitalists in New York and
the cotton growers of the South.
In the South all those Baptists
and Methodists were against re-
cognition, but when they held out
the juicy plum of S20O,O0O,000
worth of cotton annually, they
all surrendered and demanded
recognition the same as the big
capitalists in New York. AS Le-
min said, "The capitalist will
commit suicide for a temporary
profit" and unfortunately we
have some of those in our coun-
try. So we rushed right in after
this 81, 0OO,OOO,OOO and recogniz-
ed Soviet Russia a year and a
half ago; and we have done just

with them, and we loaned that

They gave definite pledges

this country of ours telling us
everything is wrong, rotten, and
corrupt, and that labor is ex-

two weeks she declined to make q

she reviewed the steps she had
taken. Then she decided she was
really ready for motion pictures
at last.

knows more stage stars than any
other man in Hollywood, sent q
request to the Warner head office
that he wanted Miss Hutchinson

His request was granted. So i'm

ability that he decided that she
would be the ideal girl to play

lie Roy is jealous of the reputa-
tion that he has set up in the
movie industry. He has the habit
of making hit pictures, among
which have been Five Star

When he was given the script of
"Oil for the Lamps Of China" and
told to go ahead, the outspoken
Mr.. LIE Roy said that this would
be his greatest picture. No sooner
had he made this assertion than
he announced that only players
with stage experience would be
given roles-and Miss Hutchinson
was chosen first. Which is no
petty compliment for the young
lady who, after all. is a virtual
newcomer to the movies!
The Washington times., 1935-06-01

Not that anyone doubts Miss
Hutchinson'S ability and prestige,
but Le Roy has directed most Of
the Hollywood stars and a wise
director Is careful not to step on
the sensitive toes Of those who
have come under his professional
wing. It generally isn't good pol
Icy to single out any one actress

very few who are great. There is

HOLLYWOOD, June /. - The
privileged few who have seen all
or glimpses Of Charlie Chaplin's
new picture are unanimous that
it is his best.

lin, old-time comedian of the Sen
nett studio. is going to make a
big hit with his performance. Pro-
viding, of course, that NO many
of his scenes aren't Sheared in
COMPRISING the comedy to the
proper footage.
Charlie still seeks a title for his
latest opus. THE Waif," city
Waits" street Waits" have been
considered at one time or another
and the chances are the final
choice will contain the word
"waif" in some combination.
Predictions as to the finishing
date of the film vary from June
until the millennium.
All are impressed by the pro
duction value Charlie has worked
into the picture and his increased
attention to photography. Audi
ences, they say, will have to read
their own symbolism, if any, into
the picture.
The first preview of the film is
being contemplated for one day
next month, after which the gen.

Of United Artists, will be def
nitely announced.

THE SKELETON IS DOING
NICELY ..sr

The skeletonizing Of the NRA con-
stitutes one Of the most. interesting of
all New Deal phenomena. The process
theoretically began last June, after
the Supreme Court had invalidated
the original NRA by a unanimous de-
cision, but it has gone forward by such
gentle stages that it may still be
studied at leisure by the naked eye.
By mid-August the skeletonization
had progressed to the point where
the NRA payroll was actually greater
than it was in July, 1884, and now that
gaunt and feshless agency is able to
report that on September 7 it had been
reduced to only 2,76O jobholders whose
salaries totaled mere $7,OOO,OOO a
year. " *
This, then, is what remains of NRA,
killed by the Supreme Court on May
27 and converted by Congress, after
death, into statistic-gathering orga-
nization. With its present staff, we
suspect, it will be able to collect an
oceanful Of figures; but no one will
prove more Illuminating than those
which, reveal the skeleton NRA, more
than three months after its demise,
still kicking in 100000 closet.

HAS ANYONE SEEN A LOST
SUBSISTENCE HOMESTEAD?

According to the Washington Blu
reau of the Baltimore Sun, there are
five to ten subsistence homestead pro
jects lost somewhere in the United
States. This discovery was made by the
Rural Resettlement Administration,
under Prof. ReXford Tugwell.
The Federal Subsistence Homestead
Corporation was one of the Delaware
corporations set up under the PWA and
financed out of the public treasury by
order of the President. When the Rural
Resettlement Administration was Gre
ated by the President few weeks ago,
under the $4,000, 100000 work relief
law, and Professor Tugwell was placed
in charge of it, it was announced the
subsistence homestead projects would
all be turned over to Mr.. Tugwells
new agency. 1t was stated that there
were between 35 and 40 such projects
Gin some stage of construction" The
blue prints, charts, plans, diagrams,
maps and other paraphernalia showed
that many in existence.
After the transfer, Professor Tug
well took an invoice and the most he
can find is 80. What he now wants to
know is where are the other five or ten
subsistence homesteads.
If anyone sees a subsistence home
stead project looking like it is lost,
they will please notify Mr.. Tugwell.
The government supposedly has a
lot of money invested in these lost pro-
jects. Nobody knows exactly how
much, because under the New Deal the
Delaware corporations were set up in
dependent of the Federal Government
so that they could not be audited by
any Federal officer. The best that can
be hoped for is that someone will bring
the lost projects in. In event they do
not, they will be charged off, as other
billions of federal expenditures have
been, to profit and loss account.
