Plagiarism Sweeps World

Under these systems, the individual cannot wor.
Ship vote, think he would, or conduct his life
as his own. Slavish obedience to the will of the
state is the first great command and the price of
nonconformity is liquidation either through vio-
lence slow economic strangulation.
Today that pagan philosophy is sweeping
through much of the world. AS we look abroad we
that in country after country its advocates
making bid for power.
We would be fools not to look for that same
danger here. We have not far to look. Even Mr.
Roosevelt has felt he must say that he does not
welcome the support of any person or group COM
mitted TO communism.
That is may be. The important facts are
first that Mr.. Roosevelt has so weakened and cor
rupted the Democratic party that it is readily SUBJ
ject to capture and, second, that the forces of
communism are, in fact, now engaged in captur-
ing ii.
That danger can be surely met by ending a
situation which leaves vast power in tired hands
The Republican party is not perfect. But one thing
at least is sure; neither the Communist group which
Mr.. Roosevelt processes to repudate nor any other
totalitarian group is making an effort to capture
the Republican party. They know how useless it
would be.

Labor Party Front for Reds

Listen to the words of another set of my oppo-
nent's violent supporters David Dubinsky. presi-S
dent of the international Ladies Garment Workers
Union, of the founders of the American
Labor party Here is what he said last spring
about that party as of today:
IL regard the former American Labor party As
n Communist Labor party Mr.. Hilman can act
as front for the Communists! never did and
never will" So said David Dubnsky.
The New York Post, formerly the mouthpiece
Of the Labor party says editorally that Mr.. Hill
man fronts for the Communists by serving as
chairman for their American Labor party"
The last candidate of that party for governor,
who polled 10000 votes in 1912 is another violent
supporter of my opponent. But it was he who
said last spring that he intended leaving Mr. Hill
man and his fellow travellers to stew in their own
- juiee.
Political action by coercion is repugnant to
form of government -" he also said liberals
throughout the country should beware of dealing
with Mr.. Hillman for he longer comes to them
with clean hands. He has set himself up a
and dangerous type Of political boss"

Freedom Must Be Guarded

II they should succeed, the fundamental free
doms of every American would stand in gravest
jeopardy
Throughout the ages mans greatest struggle Is
the struggle TO be free-free to worship God; TO
have family and family lfe free to educate his
children; to live in economic security in his own
home; to be able to have work Of his choosing;
and to have government which is servant, not
a master.
Our nation was founded by men and women who
came here to achieve those things. They built their
institutions in a deeply re'igous pattern and by the
Bill Of Rights they bound their government to
respect freedom of religion and the dignity Of the
individual.
Because of what they did, we call America 1.-THE
land of the free and the home of the brave
But we cannot take our freedom for granted
afford to stop being brave There always
have been and always will be, those who seek to
destroy our freedoms.
- Nazism and faseism are dying in the world. But
the totatarian idea is very much alive and we must
not slip to its other form--communism.
All Of these concepts enemies of freedom
and must equally reject all of them. They
would make the state supreme, give political power
only to those who deny the supremacy of God and
use that power to force all men to become cogs in
a great materialistc machine

SYMBOL of Un-Americanism

The foundation of our American system of civil
liberties is equal respect and an equal oppor-
tunity for of every race, creed and color and
regardless Of national origin. The mighty buwark
Of these liberties is the Constitution of the United
States.
These the things that have given America
leadership in the world. These above all others
are what America must continue to stand for II she
is TO give leadership to the world again.
The proof that communism has nothing 10 do
with national origin is the fact that Earl Browder,
the avowed leader of communism In America, was
born in Kansas
Now. who is Browder? He Is the man who
convicted Of draft lodging in the last war. He
again convcted-this time Of perjury-and
pardoned by Franklin Roosevelt in time to organize
the Fourth Term campaign.
Browder stands for everything that would
destroy America.
Every knows that communism is for state
ownership Of all property, including your house
your farm and the factory, the shop, the office in
which you work.

New Deal Captive Of PAC. Reds

Will these purchasers of special privilege be
the successful bidders for control Of the captive
Democratic party? l doubt it. The Thousand
Dollar Club members are being taken in. They
will not get the special privilege on the influence
they were offered. There are higher bidders in
the market.
Those higher bidders are the Political Action
Committee of Sidney Hillman and the Communists
of Earl Browder
In this campaign the New Dealers attempt to
smother discussion Of their Communist alliance.
They smear any discussion of this major question
of our day
They insnuate that Americans must love COM
munism or offend our fighting ally Russia.
But not even the gullible believe that In
Russia, Communist is man who supports his
government In America, a Communist is man
who supports the Fourth Term our form Of

FOR Clears With Sidney

Just four months after that statement was
issued my opponent ordered the Democratic ma
tional chairman to clear everything with Sidney"
The prophecy has come true.
Sidney Hillman has become the biggest political
boss in the United States and in the words of
David Dubinsky Sidney Hillman is front for the
Communists
In addition to being chairman of the Communist
controlled American Labor Party of New York,
Mr. Hillman is also chairman Of the Political Action
Committee.
This is the committee which summarized the
degradation of New Deal politics in a pamphlet,
two million copies of which were sent out on behalf
of Mr.. Roosebet.
That pamphlet put out by Sidney Hillmans
Political Action Committee, began with the words:
Politics Is the science of how who gets what,
when and why"
Under that cynical motto. Mr.. Hillman today
operated the National Political Action Committee
with his lieutenants who have taken leave Of
absence from high federal posts He stalks the
country squeezing dollars for the fourth term cam
pagn out of the working men and women of
America under threat that If they do not give the
dollar they will lose their jobs.

highly trained zeaots who work at their purposes
every hour Of the day.
Falsehood deception and smear propaganda are
part of their technique. They are adept at working
behind the false front of those they CONTEMPORARY
describe as "innocents."
They love TO FISH In troubled waters. They place
their numbers at strategic points where they can
seize control of large organizations. Millions of
Americans have seen this happen time after time.
Liberal. intelligent organizations suddenly turn
out to be Communist propaganda fronts.
Similarly millions of workers have seen their
union organizations captured by compact minorities
who attend all the meetings, vote in bloc and
thereby seize the union machinery.
Once in control, they cannot be dslodged. 1t
was by just such tactics last spring that the Com
munists were able to seize possession of the
American Labor Party of New York which in 1910
provided the balance of power that carried New
York for Mr.. Roosevelt.
Now by the selfsame tried and familiar tactics
and with the aid Of Sidney Hillman the Communists
are Selling control of the New Deal through which
they aim to control the government of the United
States

Communist Methods Subtle

The Communists themselves have cunningly

which they themselves hold in such contempt.
Yet the fact is that the Communists WELD

They are not themselves a political party. They
are fsnatios secret conspiracy Of well disciplined.

HiIIman Backs Fourth Term

called What Is Communism He said
I'VE stand without any reservation for educa-
ton that will root out beliefs In the supernatural
He concluded
e. We Communists do not distinguish be.
tween good and bad religions because We think
they are all bad for the masses"
Now Mr. Roosevelt in his recent speech from
the White House very softly dsavowed COM
munism. But the very next day, at meeting
right here in Boston Earl Browder made speech
for Mr.. Roosevelt and a collection was taken up
for the Fourth Term And not a voice in the New
Deal was raised in protest So much for Earl
Browder,
Now-who is Sidney Hillman? He has held one
official post after another in the New Deal, in add
ton to important duties the head of labor
union.
When the Fourth Term campaign came along, he
went to New York to concentrate on politics.
There, in the primaries this year, he organized
movement to take over the previously respectable
American Labor party. And he succeeded with
the help of Earl Browders Communists.
What is the American Labor party today-the
party whose nomination Mr.. Roosevelt has accepted
and whose votes he hopes will give him 16 years
in the White House?

DCucgS speech here last night tollOicS:
Once in every four years, late in October my
opponent announces that he believes in the enter
prise system Then for the remaining three years
and IL months he wages war against the American
enterprise system day in and day out
That is why there were still ten million Ameri-
cans unemployed in the spring of 1910. That's
why we had to have a war TO get jobs. That's why
it's time for change.
Because of our magnificent military command
the heroism Of our men in uniform, and the efforts
of our war workers at home, victory is coming
closer every day.
And by installing a fresh and united admins
tration in Washington the day of total victory
and the return of fighting men will be speeded
UP greatly Then what do We face
AS pointed out last night, if we go into the
postwar period with nothing better than the New
Deal has offered us in the past we can expect no
better results than we had under its peacetime
years before.
But if we 90 in with new and vigorous admin
istration pledged TO program of constructive
action we can and will succeed
With a government in which the president
works in harmony and mutual respect with the
Congress, we can unite America for effective world
leadership in world organization for lasting peace
Democratic Ranks Split
Now, one reason why the New Deal cannot
provide jobs and opportunity after this war-one
reason why it cannot give our country the unity
we needs because of the kind of people to whom
it would owe it's election. The New Deal is not
party 1t is collection of parties, all OF which
hate each other.
In my own state of New York, they hate each
other so much that they won't vote except under
their own emblems, and Franklin Roosevelt is run
ming on three different party lines in the state OF
New York
No. the New Deal has become a collection OF
warning factions tied together only by a con-
Stunning passion for power. That's why my oppo-
nent is compelled to solicit the support OF bgoted
reactionaries on the one hand and of Communists
on the other.
For IL years the great Democratic party has
been under the crushing dominance OF one man.
AS a result it is weakened and divided. 1t is vu-
nerable to capture by forces hostile to every rad-
ton for which that party has stood.
Beyond that, Mr. Roosevelt, in his overwhelm-
ing desire TO perpetuate himself in office for 16
years has put his party on the auction block
for sale to the highest bidder. "
Who will buy it? Will it be the notorious One
Thousand Club which sponsored and paid for Mr..
Roosevelt's speech last Saturday? This is the
organization, formed at the Presidents own sug-
gestion, which offers special privilege" a voice
lin the formulation Of administration policies and
a chance to visit with the President on Thursday
afternoons, all for $1,000.

NROA1NlLCD ldDOr HI NoCSlA O cut. which is not committed to any political party as such, will watch with great interest the pro- ceedings of the state Democratic Convention, to be held in Hartford on Aug. and 5. There is feeling in the state that success in inner party fights is of greater import ance to the party leaders than the naming of a slate of candidates who can help President Roosevelt carry Connecticut.
 Competition for nominations is healthy, but if the several ''wings" of a party carry their fight to the point that the general public gains the impression that basic principles have been lost sight of, that party suffers.
 The leaders of the Democratic party in Connecticut are wrong ii they are acting on the assumption that they can ride to victory behind President Roosevelt, regardless of the type of state ticket nominated
 This election campaign will be a battle between the liberal and con- servative forces of the state and na- ton. Connecticut Democrats made a good beginning when they SUD- ported Henry A. Wallace in Chica- go. If this beginning is continued, and liberal state ticket is nOmi- mated next week, the Democratic party can expect to carry COnnec- ticut in November.
 If unknowns, or machine hacks, are named to make the race, suc- cess is highly doubtful.
