MR.. DIES FLoPs

The Implicated hatred that is SO OBJ
viously the main characteristic of the
Dies Investigating Committee; invali-
dates its claim of a faif aid Impartial
investigation. 1t seems that Repre-
sentative Dies is hiding behind the
cloak of Congress to carry out type
OF anti-racial persecution with which
the state of Texts has been identified.
All that is needed to give this investi-
eating committee its proper setting and
color is change ST locality:
The question of interracial relation
ship does not, by any extension of
latitude come within the purview of a
committee investigating un-American-
ism, unless the association Of black and
white OH any basis whatsoever IS, ia
Mr. Dies point of view, type of un-
Americanism which threatens the very
foundation of representative Democ-
racy. If given enough money, time
and latitude, Mr. Dies will soon de-
velop his committee into Fascist
agency, capable of aping all the sadistic
practices and anti-racialisms of Hitler
and Mussolini.
