WASHINGTON. - Having been
given a green light and a pat on
the back by Congress, Martin Dies
is all set to make his famous in
vestigation bigger and better than
ever before.
His committee is more experience
ed ii will have more time-and 1t
will have 100000 to spend. We've
cot the outline" says Congressman
Dies. now we'll fill it in with hard
facts And he plans to begin with
a quiet, systematic survey Of the
whole field before holding any
public hearings.
Leaning back in his chair and
chewing hard on cigar, the Stocky
Texan recalls that just two years
ago he was roundly booed when he
moved for a congressional investi-
cation of the Sit down strikes. He
mustered only 1l8 votes and lost.
A few days ago only 35 congress-
men voted against extending the
life of his committee. Mr.. Dies
looks on the change as indicative
of one of the greatest shifts of SEN
timent in American political his
tory.
people are sick and tired of
European idealogies," he says.
They don't want Communism, or
Naziism, or war, or any kind OF
notions from abroad They want
the traditional fundamental Ameri-
canism and any public men
who don't recognize this trend are
going to be on the outside looking
in after 1910"
Out of this trend, he believes
will come a balanced program that
will lead the country TO its greatest
period Of prosperity.
The present administration has
done some wonderful things" nc
says. But there is such a thing
as an overdose. It's like medicine
you've got to let nature do nine
tenths of the healing. The fielc
in which the government car
operate is limited: if government
goes outside of that field 1t be-
comes an oppressor OF the people
Il believe in sane, practica
progressivism. We have to stay
between the reactionary on one
side and the radical on the other.
Congressman Dies readily admits
that the actual number Of Com
munist party members in thu
country is small; but he declares
that at least ten million people be
long to organizations which ar
to a greater or lesser extent domi
mated by the Communists.
Those people don't want a bli
party membership" he explains
THE Communist looks instead 10
people who have no program, VIII
are wandering in a daze. He ha
a program, and he sells it TO tn
dissatisfied bourgeois he use
them and then tosSes them over
board
} Complaints that his committe
has spent too much time investi
eating Communism and too llttl
investigating Naziism leave Nj
Dies cold He sees these lsms a
simply two facets of the sam
thing.
One, he says, is national social
} ism; the other, international Sc
cialism. Both, he feels, stem fror
the notion that government shoul
cure all evils, that the individus
can't solve any problems for him
self: and this, he adds, is MOTTO
commonly shared by many moder
liberals.
'I don't call those liberals lii
, erals at ALL" he remarks.

ONE OF THE NINE
(Orange News)

Justice Brandeis, retiring from the
Supreme Court at an advanced age and
with the respect of all liberal thought
throughout the country, recalls to mind
that during the late court controversy
we heard good deal in criticism of the
mine old men,"
The record of this distinguished justice
makes that criticism appear to be what
it really was-a shoddy effort to discred-
it, for political purposes, one of the
great safeguards of public liberty.
Always regarded as a leading liberal,
Justice Brandeis was no collectivist. One
who knew him best represents him as
being devoted to the dignity and welfare
of the individual, firmly opposed to SUBJ
merging the individual in the anonymity
of class, under the dictatorship Of either
class or national leadership.

ciSt movements in the country TO-
day. the Bund. Haunting its hy-
phenism. is easily first. Very well,
now we know.
2. New York set a precedent in
handling these things. For years,
much hated Communist and other
radical movements have been given,
generally speaking, their right to
freedom of speech in the American
tradition. Now the NaZis get it,
too
Mayor La Guardia, whose con-

guaranteed them their right TO

American way.
But La Guardia made this per-
fectly clear: the police department
of the city would keep order, and
nobody else. Self-appointed storm
