stuff than anything Ham is in
volved in. This is because Hams
quiz was finished quite awhile ago
and is more or less forgotten,
whereas Martins probe Is still pro-
crossing. At least, it IS not Of
fcially ended. II has been bit
quiescent lately. but the Dies COM.
mittee remains in business.
To bark back a few years. we
all remember Communisms out
break in Russia.
No other ism had started then.
Consequently, Congressman Fish,
feeling the urge 10 investigate
some un-Americanism in our midst.
naturally concentrated on the Com
murists They were the only folk
who appeared 10 him to need it at
that luncture. Before his inquisi-
ton was ended Italian Fascism
was beginning to emit few chirps
but not loudly enough then to at
tract Hams attention. So, finally,
'.aving exhausted Communism's
possibilities, he quit investigating
and devoted himself to other is
sues.
That Dies Probe
Congressman Dies, however, evil
IDENTIFY believed Ham had quit too
soon-that plenty Of un-American
activities continued rampant In
his turn, he went after them. But,
like Ham, he failed to recognize
any OF them but the Communistic
kind, and therefore concentrated
on them exclusively.
It was far enough along for him
10 have sensed Fascisms possibili-
ties by that time, but he failed to
do 1t. No wonder he overlooked
Nazism, which was in its babyhood
when the Dies inquiry started.
Anyway it was Communism that
ne investigated, as Ham Fish had
done. and he raised Cain with it
outdoing Ham, in fact.
With Nazisms development, he
ought to have recog ICED that a
poke into Hitlerian propaganda
was in order also but, in that re-
spect, he was slow on the trigger.
Not that I think he is the least bit
pro-Nazi, but he had been so ener-
getically anti-Communistic that
apparently he could not get the
new idea.
Next, Russia got into the war
against the Eazis.
Surely that was the high sign
for Mr.. Dies 10 lay Of" the Com
munists-at least for the "dura-
ton
He did modify himself And ne
did not say anything pro-AXis.
He took nothing back. though.
Now the National Federation for
Constitutional Liberties accuses
him Of having shielded AXIS
agents in America.

stating that his committee had IN
covered them and recommending
