 Editor, Waterbury Democrat:-
 I am undertaking to do what is perhaps a presumptuous thing ano that is to reply to prepared letter from the Communist party, printed in Wednesday evenings edition ot the Waterbury Democrat.
 I waited an entire week for that letter. Perhaps the best descrip- tion that can give of it is to quote to you from one of Aesops' Fables '"The mountain was in labor, send- ing forth dreadful groans, and there was highest expectation throughout the region, but it brought forth only mouse"
 While not agreeing with ono comma or semi-colon in the. book of communistic philosophy, ap- plaud the Waterbury Democrat fol permitting the communist party tc display it's wares-Political, Moral and (ir) religious befor the Ameri- can public.
 With the Communists castigation of modern capitalism there is not much to criticize, as long as they content themselves with stating that there is needless poverty and n- excusable exploitation. But the readers of this column appreciate the fact that the communist party lacks the moral courage to tell the whole truth about communism, ol else, they prefer to copy the Bad Wolf" policy of the capitalists whom they condemn, insofar as they sup press the known truth about com munism together with its remedies.
 The fact is the Communist party fails to say that communism is atheistic; that communism advo- cates armed revolt against democ- racy; that communism is opposed to private property; that commun- ism is opposed to the constitution of the United States; that ccmmun- ism wants to level all men down tc the common denominator of pow erty, instead of lifting all men ur to the common denominator of pros perity; that communism uses the sword, the bayonet and the bullet to argue with it's opponents; that communism would not permit 8 democrat, a fascist or 8 republican to express his views in Russia; that communism as have stated is in- ternational and dictatorial: that communism is in love with the PRIVATE CORNERS OF MONEY.
 Modern capitalism cannot down communism by muzzling it's voice It only aggravates the tendency to- wards communism by endeavoring to protect the abuses which are de- teriorating modern society. Where there is needless poverty, exploita- ton of labor, unbearable taxation, and constant concentration ot wealth in a land where want exists in the midst of plenty, there is rottenness. On this rotten carcass of modern capitalism are bred the maggots of Russian communism.
 If we are scientific, we will revert to the first lesson in logic which teaches us that to remove an eff feet, we must first remove the cause.
 The causes that breed commun- ism must be eradicated before the communist party can be eliminated from the American scene. There fore let us have the whole truth both about communism and the racketeering of modern capitalism which is the breeder of communism.
 The early Pilgrims came to Amer ica for religious freedom. They braved the dangers of unchartered seas, the wilds of unknown lands to speak their own thoughts and to worship according to the dictates of conscience. Deprived of their ia- alienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, they car ried on savage var with Great Britain and won political freedom. It is the obligation of this genera ton to demand Social Justice, and economic freedom, and to march forward to a new era and 8 new destiny of peace, progress, and prosperity for all.
 One of the greatest needs in this country is collective thinking and cooperative action. Today with our national resources 1ionopolized by a few. our public lands exhausted there is a demand for Q new vision and new methods.
