What s Going On

-HERE hlChN slCnlCaNT
/ ington despatch to the New York Times which tells
of the amazing revelations by Chairman Martin Dies OF
the committee on unAmercan activities OF japanese 'h
column activities in this country. 1t is this:
1T was the story which the tDes) committee
sought to unfold public hearings last August out
il was deferred when highest government OFFICIALS re-
garded such action as INAD\lSABLE at that time
The result Of this combined carelessness, optimism and
dillvdaIying concerning a great menace was PEARL
HARBOR.
No time is inadvisabe" to reveal to the public just
exactly what is going on.
THE parallel applicability Of this official shushns OF the
Dies report Japanese spies of last August TO under
ground Communist activities in the United States To-Day
clearly evident.
The publication of Red activities. too, are being
shushed bv Official Washington being 'nadvsable at
this time in precisely the way that Japanese boring
sapping and mining were showed in the pgeonhoe last
August.
One of the recommendations of Chairman Dies in his
2Spage report on japanese spying here before Pearl
Harbor is the following:
Remove all present and former members of or sympa-
thizers with ANY SUBVERSIvE ORGANIZATIONS
from jobs in the government or war industries
THERE have been over of such subVerslve
l organizations listed and over by the Dies Com
mittee in its exposures of Communist Comnten activities
soil
These activities NOW as well for the last 20 years
aim at the CONQUEST OF AMERICA FROM WITHIN
by sapping and mining.
Just precisely the government thought 1t mad
vsabe six months ago publish the Japanese report OF
the Dies Committee it is thought "nadvisable to
publish the names of the 124 land more) Reds and pnks
which Chairman Dies sent to the President and the
attorney general nearly year ago.
These Reds and pnks and other varieties OF MARKHAM
revolutonsts and subverers are employed IN every de-
partmen of government even in the executive Offices
of the White House.
OUR ally, Russia, does not permit the employment of
~ SINGLE PERSON in her government, her war in
dustre anywhere else in all the Russias who believes
prise system
The administration is just fabby today in its cod
ding of communistc plotters as it was in regard to
japanese plotters.
On the vital subject of Red nftratons, Homer L.
Challaux the American Legons national Americanism
director statement issued to the Associated Pess on
February 26, said
IF we do not resist their encroachments now we
will wake up some day, after we have exhausted our
selves i'm beating the Axis powers.
I'VE will find a strong and virulent Communist
organization within midst all ready to overthrow
our government by force violence
I'VE do not want spies and sabOteurs In our CIVILIAN
defense organizations any than want men and
women who owe their first allegiance to an alien
philosophy who follow the dictates of an alien
Dictator"
Twill Washington wake up to this growing menace of
government socketted Communist organization also
when it is TOO LATE?
Every Communist newspaper and magazine in the
United States today bitterly opposed to the activities of
the Dies Committee
That ought to reveal the thickes official blockhead
in Washington what's going on under our very noses.
