BY WAY OF FORCE

As I view it. the basis of the
whole play is to transmit the idea
of thought that the one way TO
improve conditions is by way of
force, violence. shootings and so
forth-that all such proceedings
are a necessary and essential part
of our American way of life.
Then, coming TO the presenta-
ton of April 6. 1941. This play
was titled His Honor. The
Mayor by Orson Welles.
The play opened by depicting
the mayor of a small town who is
with questions having
to do with the holding of a meet
ing by THE White Crusaders. "
an alleged communistic group.
The mayor questions several of
the town people about permitting
the meeting to be held and most
of them are opposed 10 letting the
meeting proceed because of the
thought that the group is definitely
communistic. 1t is related that a

SECOND PLAY OFFERED

The next week. March .. 1871.
play entitled The Mole on Lin
coins Cheek" by Marc Connolly
was presented.
In the preliminary announce
ment on the program it was stated
that the play was concerned with
freedom of speech as applied 10
teaching. The scene opened in a
country school houSe-a young
lady teacher talks TO the principal
OF the school who has called upon
her to spend the evening-mention
is made about using certain text
books in the school, which such
books apparently were not in con-
formity with past teachings-the
scene shifts to the home of one of
the school children-the child re-
fers TO John Hancock as a Snug
gler' and the father questions it
and the child makes the proof by
producing the school book. The
father then has the matter

RIGHT To ASSEMBLE

BILE:
THAT democracy guarantees
freedom Of assembly uncondi-
tionally TO the worst lice that
want it."-"Let 'em thumb their
noses at the Stars and Stripes
just 80 long ~ they don't touch
it,"
1t is the studied opinion of your
committee that a general perspec-
tive of the entire series can lead
10 but one conclusion. namely that
the underlying feature and the
major theme running throughout
the presentations is that one class
is downtrodden. one class runs
rampant over another. one group
can express themselves and an
other cannot-that the one sure
way TO correct the condition is TO
resort 10 violence, trickery. strikes
and outrageous conduct. In other
words the pattern seems TO be
that the way 10 get unanimity OF
opinion in this country in refer
ence to our defense program is TO
deliberately by innuendo. advocate
violence and destruction.

as being abominable. The man
states that he believes in organi-
zation and he is Immediately
discharged and referred to as a
radical. 1t is then pictured that
he is blackballed-that his wife
and family suffer privations-and
his wife finally leaves him because
he has no work.
He becomes active in a union.
He produces evidence TO show that
the union was under the domina-
ton of a pimp. 1t depicts mine
massacre between plant police and
strikers. Then follows a shooting
wherein the young man is shot,
Gripping him for life. The play
as it closes glorifies the labor or

last paragraph it is stated that

coin and others were just like the
labor organizer.

DIsTRUsT OF PATRIOTS

To me the play has the effect
of creating a distrust of our
American patriots and produces a
sympathetic attitude for loose
teachings in our schools.
The gentleman who played the
lead in this particular play was
Melvyn Douglas. who. as you
know. was once about to be APP
pointed to a high military office
in this state and, due to our ef-
forts. this was frustrated. We
accused him of having communis-
tic leanings and he withdrew from
his quest of high office in the
military rather than face the issue
as to whether he did or did not
have such leanings.
The next play was on March 9,
1871. It's title was IAN American
Crusader" by Robert E. Sherwood.
1t purported to give the life of
Elijah Parrish Lovejoy. Loveioy
was an aboiishionist. He operated
a newspaper in st. Louis in 1885
and apparently. due to some ar
dent and fiery articles against
slavery. he was asked to leave the
city. He moved across the river
TO Illinois and there continued his
writings-Where 'nobs destroyed
his place of business and finally
killed him while he was defending
his place of business.

MEMORANDUM QUOTED

I will quote this memorandum:
September 25, 1910.
Memorandum for the Attor-
ney General of the United
States.
RE: A proposed series OF ma
tion-wide broadcasts on our ba sic
civil rights to be given under
the auspices of the Department
Of Justice.
THE effectiveness of enemy
propaganda in various foreign
countries has been demonstrated.
Even here, especially among
some foreign elements, its influ-
ence. while hard to measure, il
probably greater than suspected
and would rapidly increase IL
favored by confusion Of purpose
and self doubt in the public
mind.
$50 far most effort in this
country has been directed to
attacks on that propaganda. But
the best defense would be the
positive restatement In moving
terms Of the principles on which
our government rests.

ARRANGEMENTS MADE

Then came the consummation OF
the present plan-the writers were
apparently contacted. the players
were contacted-the arrangements
were made for presentations 10
Feb. %. 1941.
A communication from the
solicitor general of the United

FIRST PRESENTATION

The first presentation was on
Feb. %, 1871. The play was titled
The People With Light Coming
Out of Them" written by William
Saroyan, young man of Ar
menian extraction. born in Fresno,
now aged approximately 80 years.
This play, in short, presents a
section of a city block wherein
are housed young artist, an
italian family with many chill
dred. Negro doctor on the
corner and a Japanese family. 1t
depicts them all as happy. care
free, hard working people-all ex-
tremely glad they are in America.
can see nothing out of line in

quite plausible, refreshing and en-
tirely harmless.

COMPLETE FREEDOM

The radio companies, the
actors and the writer's would be
asked 10 contribute their serv-
ices. This would counterfeit
suspicion OF paid propaganda.
The writers would be given COM
plete freedom of expression. In
n word. the department would
act only as a medium through
which the would receive an OPP
portunity to present In dramatic
form and TO the widest possible
audience their faith In this
country.
"a brief prologue each week
would announce that the cOntri-
buttons were unpaid and uncOn-
trolled and the series would
constitute a graphic or allegOr-
ical presentation of the Amer
lean "redo by some of those best
qualified TO give IL eloquent
expression. As such IL might
subsequently be published In
book form. A tentative list of
proposed subjects and authors

ORIGINALITY CLAIMED

! want TO emphatically state to
you at this time that this resolu-
ton or any Of the action which
has followed was not in the least
manner inspired or solicited by
any individual. newspaper or any
one else outside the Legion. 1t
started in its entirety in our own
department of California.
Our best information TO date Is
that the thought of having a series
Of broadcasts on our basic civil
rights came in TO being along
early last Fall. A man by the
name of James Boyd. who seems
to be a dollar-a-year man con-
nected with the Department of
Justice, proposed in a memoran-
dun for the attorney general of
she United States. on or about
September %, 1910, that there be
. series of broadcasts.

CALL FOR ACTION

"In its brOadcasts on alien
registration the department has
offered copy of the COnstitu-
ton of the United States TO
those requesting it, such ma
terial having been contributed
by the American Legion. Twenty
thousand copies have so far been
called for. In the proposed

STIRRED BY DEATH

The news of his death stirred
the people of the North and led
greatly to the strengthening of
abolition sentiment.
"In the introduction to the
play 1t was stated: The actors
have joined together on their
own initiative to present series
OF dramas illustrating and ex-
planning our basic American
liberties"
My opinion of this play was that
it was full of violence, it stressed
the thought of force, outrage and
oppression. 1t repeatedly called
attention to the infractions of the
laws of common behavior-and
made it appear that it was almost
for a man to publish
a thought or theory which was
contrary to the thoughts of the
