shifting in this election. l am
thinking of the future when this
immediate campaign shall be
over and both North and South,
and the West AS well. will be
faced by the facts of American
life.
Those facts are so violently
articulate that no one can side
step them or their consequences
for long. And the most salient
of these facts is that this coun-
try has been passing through a
political and social and economic
revolution leading in the direc-
ton of a socialist America.
Earl Browder and the Com
munist party could not and
would not be so positive in their
support of the fourth term were
they not sure that they were
engaging in their permanent
job of changing the United
States into a socialist country.
Southern D EN- ocrats and
northern Republicans are OPP
posed to a socialist United
States.
