Wars Won in Factories


CHAIRMAN HATroN. SUMMERS of the judiciary
y committee of the House of Representatives made
searching examination Of our tagging national defense
program the other day.
He said the American people cannot possibly know
the truth about their precarous situation the face Of
world events else they would stop strikes against
national defense instantly and most violently
IF the American people knew the truth about the
thing he said there would mol be any strikes in
America.
They would open their factories honest, decent
Americans, and there in those factories men and
just patriotic any Of rs
They would apart the who stood between
them and chance put effective guns in the hands of
their upon whose backs have put the uniform of
this country.
Wars are won 80 the factories today. Let nobody
forget that"
n REPRESENTATIVE SUMMERS is right. He is GER
N tainly right that the American people pre-
dominanty patriotic and only willing to fight and
die FOR thelr country need be but also willing 10
work for and make such personal sacrifices that the
armng of the country requires.
Still if the American people do not yet know the
truth about their what the world does 1t take
to impress the truth upon them
Has there not full revelation and exposure,
period of nearly of years of the fixed intention
and purpose Of The Communist elements in this country
keep the United States deenseless and indefensibe
through sabotage industry and ncitaton strikes
Have such federal agencies the bureau of
investigation and the Dies committee amassed vertabe
mountains of evidence to this ominous effect?
las not the President of the United States publicly
asserted that Communist enterprise and activity are
the fomentng forces current and recent strikes
responsible for delays IN defense production?
Was not the proud and prosperous American
merchant marine, and many of its affiliated maritime
industries virtually cut to pieces by Communist in
filtration and brigandage2
Has not the presence been disclosed of actual Com
munsts. or believers in and teachers of Communist
theory practice the faculties and frequently the
administration of major colleges and universities?
Have not the very textbooks from which millions of
American school children supposed to derive an
understanding the history and traditions of their
try been proved to be infected with the poisons of
Communist deliberately planted there by disloya
and reasonable authors?
WHAT. let us repeat, does it TAKE to show the
w American people the truth
1t has been said that Adolf Hitler through his books
and speeches provided all the nations he has since menaced
and destroyed with the blue prints of their destruction
which they did not heed
Have we not also been provided, through the blatant
and conemptuous and subversive literature and actual
deeds of Communists in the United States well
through the and authoritative warnings of our
patriotic individuals and organizations with the blue
prints of OUR intended destruction?
OF course the American people are patriotic.
And, of course American labor and American
industry patriotic.
D UT of what value is patriotism when lets those VINO
d desire and seek destroy America continue their
nefaous enterprise and accomplish their subversve tasks
ambitions and in all truth Representative Summers
SAYS keep effective guns of the hands of
upon whose backs have put the uniform of this
country"
The American people and American labor and industry
truly and surely need to be patriotic
Should they not also become Immediately and
thoroughly awake and alive to thev dangers and evils
which bese them the whole truth of which has been
broadly written for the very skies above us were
the parchment
