TREASON
BY H. S. BARBOUR, An Associate Editor

IN q time when the very foundation of American civil
zaton rocks from the evil activities of War Mongre and
in all groups forcing themselves forward to exercise wat
they stupidity style "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" This is
beautiful phrase One which should nghttuly belong TO
every American citizen who thrills at the realization OF the
principles on which it based But it MUST not be abused
"FREEDOM OF SPEECH" is deeply imbeded in the
Constitution this great Nation But not single article
grants this salient privilege to immigrants entering our
country crazed by ambitions baeal lure drunken with
loss Of power to convert the principles OF Amecanlsm IN
to some other form of ISM Neither does this constitution
grant this privilege to Americans whose feeble Judgment
Of the obtained through these systems IN other
countries become mouth pieces to these destroyes OF
Nations You may call this "tREEDOM OF SFLLCH
but | call it TREASON.
"FREEDOM OF SPEECH in time of so treach-
eros that words cannot express its magnitude cannot
further be granted to leaders of Labor who do not realize
that their programs of labor monopoly must stop unless
America sustans the fate Of France We cannot tolerate
two or the front here, II these wars
will stop productions so necessary for American soldiers
Some the members of Forces have given their yes
whose bodies manged some whose hearts given
as the the wide and racless and international
boundaries to preserve the principles OF our nation These
men do not stop their parts as hod2qt Tor more pay
John L. Lewis William Green and Phillip hurry may call
this FREEDOM OF SPEECH, but | call it murder for
TREASON is too mild to apply to such monstrosity
"FREEDOM OF SPEECH. For more than seventy
five years Negro publications and other institutions have

accorded by this statement Regardless to all else referred to
in this article, to these my beseech most Some of
these agents have fought noble battle and some have
been ridiculous and radical that they doing harm
than good to bring about justice for the Good or bad
is matter of opinion To all agencies for Negro progress
feel that the aid to build the morale of the American
who not understand your dual gestures should
be our one consideration at this time
lnjustices in many FORMS admit but so far as the
American Negro concerned and the called Democa
cies of other Nations still feel that the United States
with all her faults better place to live than all the 9TH
with their virtues combined for Victory, doesn't
mean thing to the American Neither do they get
any thrill to the caption of double wv Victory in this
struggle to win is all that matters What the American
public needs is to be shown single pursuit made by
every red blooded American to win this
"FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Even those who control
the powers Of Government stretch the phrase too far
The American people do not consider Rulers Of any Ma
ton bigger in esmations than the President of the
United States who he might be- therefore with due
respect to Mr. Churchill do not wish to his meth
cd of Regime exempfed in the actions and expressions
of the heads of our Nation.
The American people whole well acquainted
with the faaces Of the ESQ cae Democacies of Europe
and cannot be aroused fully to give their all to preserve
system which they themselves fought to be freed from Tell
