NEW YORK.-There are among the Roose-
welt political following some thorough Ameri-
cans who support him even though they know
that thereby they put themselves in alliance
with the communists. They justify this on the
ground that communism can't happen here
forgetting, however, that fascism or national
socialism has been happening throughout the
Roosevelt reign and that the communist pro-
gram often calls for fascism first and COM
munism later. Germany, yesterday, today and
tomorrow is a perfect example of the de-
velopment of this program.
In Germany, after the communist revolu-
ton failed, the communists supported Hitler
and thousands of old communists became
Brown Shirts and were then known as the
Brown Bolsheviki. They did this, under orders
from Moscow whence the program and party
discipline flow to the communist movement
all over the world Later, Stain made an out
right alliance with Hitler and between them
they divided Poland while the communists of
France betrayed their country in the factories
by sabotage and in the Army by outright mu-
tiny and refusal to fight in the face of the
enemy in the drive through the Low Countries
and along the Channel coast AS surely as
Mussolini stabbed France in the back, these
communist traitors slit her throat and with
greater guilt because, after all, Mussolini was
an Italian and these communists were in the
legal sense, Frenchmen.
Germany is now approaching the third stage,
the triumph of communism at last after a
long and horrible progress over devious and
bloody trail.
When the fighting ends, Russia, not Britain
or the United States, will dictate the theology
and politics of Germany and the survivors of
the five million or six million old German
communists will emerge as the new govern
ing party.
Are Roosevelt, then, and Mrs. Roosevelt,
communists? OF course not. They are too fond
of wealth, luxury and the feeling of posses
sion, but they do love power and official priv
ilege, the identifying attributes of the fascist.
The Democrats of unquestionable American
loyalty who are supporting Roosevelt or re-
fusing to oppose him, the Jim Farleys, the
Joe Kennedys, the Paul McNuts, all know that
Sidney Hillrnan and his Political Action Com
mittee represent the communist conspiracy in
the United States. They know Hillman went
to Russia in 1922 saw Lenin, and came back
here to organize the Russian-American Indus
trial corporation with himself as president
soliciting stock subscriptions for Sound in
vestment for Russia They know that Hill
man endorsed the appeal for the release from
prison of a vicious communist frebug who
then was secretly turned out of Sing Sing by
Charles Poletti the interim New York gov
ernor, just before Tom Dewey took office, that
this criminal was an official of one Of Hill
mans unions, and that Roosevelt then sent
Poletti to Rome to govern the Italians by his
own corrupt concept of the American form of
government.
They know that the American Labor party
which Hillman took over, an alien political
parasite composed of naturalized but unas-
simulated continental unioneers, is a commu-
mist political disguise. And they know that
the Political Action Committee borrowed or
ganizers and managers from the Roosevelt
bureaucracy in Washington and made frequent
telephone calls to Mrs. Roosevelt at the White
House, to the office of Henry Wallace and to
other deal accomplces in Washington.
The release of Earl Browder from prison
by presidential order for the sake of unity
in fragrant contempt of the grand jury and
the trial jury, and the arbitrary order rescind-
ing the writ of deportation against Browders
communist wife are known to all these Aneri-
cans And they do not argue against the fact
that both the Roosevets have actively helped
union politicians of the C. I. o. whose own
colleagues in the organization never bother 10
deny that they are communists, enemies of
the United States and loyal only to Russia.
These Americans of the Roosevelt following
comfort and deceive themselves, however, with
the argument that communism can't happen
here They are right only to the extent that
it can't happen here until like Italy and Ger
many we have first lost our liberties and
gone through fascist era. That fascism is
now evident in many phases of our life. Some
Of the new deal and orators and propagandists
of journalism already have taken threaten
ing fascist attitude
In Philadelphia, last Friday night, in Roose-
velts presence, Andrew J. Higgins, who in
troduced him to the crowd howled for the
entire people of the United States to hear,
that mo one should dare challenger Roose-
velt Another totaltarian support still vocif
erous in his campaign long ago as 1910,
demanded that the election be called off. And
few nights ago, in Connecticut, still another
warned that if Dewey should win the Roose-
welt followers would start revolution.
This history and these citations are proven
fact and there is no denial either, of the fact
that all the communists and all the totalitari-
ans of other hues, posing liberals, are
against Dewey because he breaches the United
States Constitution, jobs under private, free
enterprise, and foreign policy in which the
United States and Russia meet in mutual dig
nifty as equals and not in the relation of
frightened and submissive hostage to a cap
tor and master.
These Americans have placed paltry party
regularity and the machine tradition above the
interests of their country and above their own
knowledge of the realities.
A few years ago it could be said that in
