AMERICAN CIVIL
LIBERTIES UNION
What Interest Has 1t in the
Keeney Case?

When it was announced last April
that the American Civil Liberties
Union intended to busy itself in the
Keeney- Rowe case, stories immedi-
ately began to circulate concerning
the status Of this national organiza-
ton. One story said to have origi-
mated in the administrative offices
of Montana State University claimed
that the A. c. L. U. had definite
Communistic tendencies. This tale
was played up with variations until
many students believed it and con-
sidered Professor Keeney truly "un-
American" because he belonged to
the A. c. L. U.
The letterhead of the A. c. L. U.
is clear indication of its standing
in the life of this country Harry F.
Ward, chairman, is a member Of
Union Theological Seminary, New
York City, and for many years he
has been directly interested in every
progressive movement in the United
States. James H. Maurer, vice
chairman, is a prominent member of
organized labor in Pennsylvania and
in 1882 he was Norman Thomas run
ming mate on the Socialist ticket.
Bishop Edward L. Parsons of Cali
fornia is one of the most prominent
Episcopal bishops in the United
States. Roger N. Baldwin, director,
has long been one of the leading
progressive publicists in the country.
Arthur Garfield Hays, counsel, is
one of the leading American attor-
neys, who has given freely of his
time and services defending persons
whose civil liberties have been in
fringed. To imply that an organiza-
ton under the leadership of such
men leans in the direction of Com
munism betrays vast ignorance.
The American Civil Liberties I'm
ion came into being nearly 20 years
ago. Its main task then was to fight
the red-baiting tactics of A. Mitchell
Palmer ct al. As it opposed flagrant
deportations of so-called aliens and
as it had the courage and resources
to force cases into court the defend
ers Of the status quo called it a
radical organization. With the
passage of time the A. C. L. u. grew
stronger, but its financial strength
was never anything to brag about
It extended its activities and set up
subcommittee to deal with viola
tions of academic freedom. This
committee has taken an active part
in defending college instructors
whenever the reactionary powers
that be have robbed them of their
livelihood.
The conservative press of the coun-
try has given considerable publicity
to the A. c. L. U. and its many hui
manitarian activities. Even the New
York Times which President Sim
mons has accused Professor Keeney
of wasting library time in reading
has given columns of space to the
exploits of the A. c. L. U. AS Pro-
fessor Keeney wished to rally all pro-
gressive forces in his fight against
Montana's open-shoppers, he turned
to the A. c. L. U. The fact that it
realized the seriousness of the situa-
ton existing on the campus of Mon
tana State University and undertook
an immediate investigation forced
the hand of the Board of Education.
The National Committee of the A.
c. L. U. will explode any and all
myths voiced by the reactionaries
who control the policies of higher
education in Montana.
