 I am undertaking to do what is perhaps 8 presumptuous thing and that is to reply to prepared letter from the Communist party, printed in Wednesday evenings edition of the Waterbury Democrat.
 I waited an entire week for that letter. Perhaps the best descrip- ton that I can give of it is to quote to you from one of Aesops' Fables: 'eThe mountain was in labor, send ing forth dreadful groans, and there was highest expectation throughout the region, built brought forth only a mouse"
 While not agreeing with one comma or semi-colon in the book of communistic philosophy, I ap- plaud the Waterbury Democrat for permitting the communist party to display its 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 in- 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, or 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 ccmrnun- ism wants to level all men down to the common denominatOr of pow erty, instead of. lifting all men up to the common denominator of pros perity; that communism uses the sword, the bayonet and the bullet to argue with its opponents; that communism would not permit a democrat, fascist or 8 republican to express his views in Russia; that communism as I 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 its 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- tion of labor, unbearable taxation, and constant concentration of 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 in- alienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, they car ried on a 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 a new destiny of peace, progress and prosperity for all.
 One of the greatest needs in this country is collective thinking anc cooperative action. Today with our national resources monopolized by a few, our public lands exhausted there is demand for a new vision land new methods.
