LET'S THINK THIS THROUGH


Let US hope devouty thot the justices Of the Su-
preme Court will think this Communist business
through more deeply than Mr. Wendell Willke has
done. We can be proud that our country in wartime
has retained sufficient tolerance that the nominal
head of major party could and would appear in court
on behalf Of foreign oeent But let not our good
will destroy our good judgment.
Mr. Wkie urged that the high court override
California district court which had ordered denoturo
zotion of William Schnedermon, secretary Of the
Communist party in California.
Let US consider the focts concerning Mr.. Schned-
ennon which oso in essence, are the focts concern
ing every noturo|ized person who is member Of the
Communist party.
Schneidermon was member Of the Communist
party at least between e22 and l94O inclusive. Dur
ina that period in 1927, he noturozed and took
the oath Of allegiance to the United Stotes Of Amer
leo.
Now there is one fundamental tenet of Commun-
ism which no person can join the party without &C.
ceptino, or can retain membership without observing.
Thot tenet is that members Of the party have coun-
try and owe no "socol patriotism to the government
from which they derive citizenship.
In accordance with thot tenet the Communist In
ternotionoI, popuIorIy known the Conintern, in
1892 promulgated Official instructions to all porty
members outside Russia.
~. to set up legal, senni-IeeoI and illegal con-
troll committees Of action in the munition factories
in ports in foctores on railroads, and ships, for
the purpose Of developing activity and carefully
prepared protest strikes and economic strikes to pre-
vent the transport Of munitions and troops -"
When William Schnedermon accepted citizen
ship from the United Stotes, he did so upon the
pcit moral ethical and legal assumption that he re-
nouneed all allegiance to any other notion and gave
his full, undivided allegiance to this country.
But he was at that time, and remained for at
least years thereafter under secret understand
ing with the Comntern that he did not regard him
self and would not act as subject Of any country
that his allegiance to the Communist porty, and
not to the United Stotes Of America.
Corrode Sehneidemon took the oath Of oIeei-
once to the United States with his fingers crossed his
tongue in cheek, with mental reservations, with no
intention Of giving his undivided oIegioce to this
country He became citizen by fraud and deceit.
Which constitutes adequate ground for revoco-
ton Of that citizenship.
