particular line or policy, that the
Communist party in the United
States has succeeded in extending
its influence among so called
front" organizations and in some
labor organizations as well. 1t is
important to remember in this con-
nection that the Communist party
at this time was deliberately re-
framing from preaching commu-
nism In any real sense of that
term.
Beginning with the time Of the
signing of the Nazi-Soviet Pact, the
Communist line and tactics in the
United States have changed once
again and the policy now being
pursued is the true and traditional
Communist party policy Of outright
revolutionary agitation. Under these
circumstances, and particularly in
view of the recent Soviet attack on
Finland, the arrest of certain out
standing Communist leaders in the
United States for violations of Fed
eral law and a variety of other
factors, it is reasonable to expect
that there will take place a sharp
reduction not only in the influence
exerted by the Communist party in
the United States but also in the
number of people adhering to it.
In somewhat similar fashion the
Nazi or Fascist movement has at the
moment suffered certain severe set
backs, due largely to the present
international situation.
The committee conceives its prin
cipal task to have been the revela-
ton of the attempts now being made
by extreme groups in this country to

and earnest people into activities
cooperative with the Communist
party. We fully realize that the
vast majority Of the membership Of
the league consists of people that
simply believe in peace and democ-
racy, and we find it difficult to un.
derstand why this majority has not
asserted itself with greater vigor in
connection with the activities of the

Introduction.

Every modern democratic nation
Is confronted by two pressing prob
lens. The first is the preservation
Of the constitutional liberties which
their people have gained through
the years of struggle. The second
is the problem of adjusting their
economic life to the difficulties OF
the machine age. Throughout all
ages there have existed groups OF
people who have sought power and
influence through the exploitation
of the economic difficulties of the
people of various nations. The more
dificult economic circumstances be-
come, the greater the opportunities
for groups of this character. There
Is at present taking place in the
world a struggle between democracy
on the one hand and dictatorship
on the other, upon the outcome OF
which the future of human liberties
in the next few centuries may well
depend.
As long as the struggle continues

Tert of the report OF the Dies

branch of the American league
reads, in part, as follows:
This pact is a real contribu-
ton to world peace and to the
peace and security Of the United
States = The signing Of the
nonaggression pact between the
U. s. S. r. and Germany is not
war alliance between the two
powers. 1t is not an agreement
for the partition Of Poland 80
In this sense the pact between
the U. S. S. r. and Germany is
the only real contribution to the
security of Poland that has been
made to date -" In doing this,
the Soviet Union has made real
contribution to an understanding
Of the present crisis in Europe.
It has made q real contribution
to the peace and security Of
Europe, the world, and the United
States"
The committee believes that ear
nest Americans who seek the solution
Of their country's problems within
the framework Of our constitutional
Government should either refrain
from lending their names to organi-
cations with which they are not
completely familiar or else should
be sufficiently active in such organi-
cations to make sure that they, and
not any foreign dominated group,
control its activities. The commit
tee believes it is especially impor-
tant that such q policy be pursued
by persons employed by the Govern
ment Of the Nation.
The committee finds that the

mocracy has probably been the most

announced that the whole of the
Italian navy is now in the Mediter-
ranean with the implication that
it is bottled up because of the
Suez Canal at one end and the
extreme difficulty of battle fleet
passing through the narrow Glbral-
tar strait into the Atlantic against
resolute enemy.
Should the Germans take over
the French navy and join the Ital-
ianS in the Mediterranean, it would
be bad naval strategy because OF
the possibilities of being trapped
there The confined area of the
Mediterranean would make a great
sea fight precarious and the British
strategy would probably be based
on this fact. The Italians would
probably have to risk sending their
warships past Gibraltar into the
Atlantic if they agreed with any
German proposal for a combined
against the British navy.
1t is known that many of the
French naval units are based in the
Mediterranean at present where the
difficulty of successful exit. if
they pass into German hands. is
the same as that confronting the
Italians. These facts account for
the confidence of the British that
they can continue the war at sea

handed.
