Perhaps Mr.. Straus does not
know. Perhaps he is innocent in
such matters. He surely is out of
his field In attempting to censor
American citizens when they speak
OF the welfare OF their country and
in the interests OF it's traditions
and aspirations. But should any
man possess such powers of cen
sorship? Why should any one
man have the right to pursue his
whims and fancies in determining
hat shall be spoken over the air
waves which are the property OF
the whole American people and to
which he has only licensees
right?
There is only one way TO correct
the arrogance of radio censorship
and that is: II you object to a
radio station, you need not listen
to its broadcasts. The public can
and must protect free speech in
America.

The radio station WMCA has

that Eugene Carey, counsel for the

because he found so much there
that was unsayory that he resign

edit an address that was to have

Frederic r. Coudert before the
American Legion OF New York
County. The process OF censorship
was for Mr.. Straus to send a man

apparently was that Senator Coud-

Soviet Russia" which is untrue.
| have the original speech before
me and there is not a single word
| in 1t which attacks or denounces
Soviet Russia There is an attack
and a denunciation of Communism
and Fascism in the United States
which is very different. He tried
to say over the radio, and was CEN
sored, the following:
I'VE cannot afford to be complac-
ent about the activities OF such
groups, whether Communist or Fas-
cist. Ii must never be forgotten
that numbers alone are not signifi-
cant A determined and resource
full minority can accomplish the i'm
possible against an unprepared and
unsuspecting people. Only a tiny
fraction of the Russian people be-
logged to that Bolshevik group
which put over the. 1917 revolution.
.. That tiny fraction fastened its
iron grip upon 100000 Russians
The pattern OF Mussolini's
Fascist revolution in italy was un-
doubtedly similar"
That is no attack on our ally, So
Wet Russia; it is an accurate state
ment OF historic fact Mr.. Straus

can is to accept Stain as the lead
er of an heroic ally he must also
accept Communistic politics.

prevented from saying on the air
these words OF Senator Coudert's:
". We found in operation a
full.nedged Communist conspiracy
in the city colleges and schools.
This was something which some
suspected but few believed pos
slble. As a result Of that inquiry,
substantial number OF faculty
members were dismissed and the
authorities put on the alert. Since
Pearl Harbor. OF course, the Com
munists and their fellow travellers
have become super-patriots and so
apparently abandoned their earlier
obnoxious activities. What their
role will be after the war is won
remains 10 be seen. -
Mr.. Straus makes the further
point that Senator Coudert's
speech before the American Legion
was a campaign speech and not a
non-partisan Tatriotic talk. Is
this a campaign speech or Is II
patriotism:

agreed upon the fundamental val
