Soviet Officials
Hate America

The other Russian element which
we have to consider and with which
we deal directly is composed of the
leaders, the party bureaucrats, the
secret police. They hate America
with an almost incredible hatred.
Their attitude is SO extreme that it
does not seem real; it appears to
be prompted by a policy, rather
than a normal, human, emotional
reaction.
If either of these two elements
existed alone it would be simpler
to establish line of procedure. But,
my informant points out, each ele-
ment requires separate and diff
ferent approach, since the two con-
tradict each other.
Because the only visible hope for
an understanding with Russia de-
pends on the semi-friendly group,
nothing must be said or done in our
relations with the other (now in
power), which would make it seem
that we are building wall against
Russia. That impression would al
ienate any potential sympathy the
semi-friendly ones might feel for us.
This dual approach was exempli-
fed by the Byrnes speech calling
for the unification of Germany, un-
der a single government, with all
four occupying countries acting to-
gether as co-directors of the whole.
Byrnes made the proposal inclusive.
Russia would participate equally
with the rest. The intention of the
United States was firmly stated.
There would be union of British and
Americans, presumably the French,
and the Russians too, il they con-
sented. If the Russians refused, the
United States would go ahead with
the plan but it would not slam the
door on Russia. .3st
We are to be friendly but we must
be firm. That is what makes nego-
tiations so difficult. To convince the
t'haters" we mean what we say,
the United States must state its de-
cisions firmly and emphatically, out
line exactly what we will do and
will not do; what we will permit
Russia to do and not do. Our
firmness has to depend on our
words. We cannot use force, be-
cause we have not the force avail
able to use.
This, however, does not mean we
cannot succeed, because I am op-
timistically assured the Russians
are weaker than we are. Although
their military forces on the con-
tinent of Europe are stronger than
those of the Allies, it is believed
that the Russians lack the econom-
ic, physical or moral strength to en-
gage in a major war and they know
that in the long run the rest Of the
world can develop a greater power.
Politically they have not the in
fluence, either, to risk withdrawal
from the United Nations. They
know they could not take a suffi-
cient number of other nations out
with them and thus, withdrawal
would mean ostracism and threats
from the rest of the world. This the
Russians know as well as we do.

Whether a third effort immedi-

succeeded in getting Danny as far
as Richmond, where he disappeared.
A few days later he showed up at

Enterprise ian undertaking of i'm
portance or risk" (Webster.) orig
inally it was called business enter
prise; when that term wore out it be-
came private enterprise; that cogno-
men having gone threadbare, it is now
called free enterprise.
Just what is free enterprise? Quite
frankly / don't know. Do you? From
the adoption of the federal Constitu-
ton. in 1889, until the creation OF
the Interstate Commerce commission
by act of congress in 1887, no legis-
lative effort to control any branch OF
business was ever made. A study
of conditions which grew out of the
efforts Of grafters, gamblers and mon
ey manipulators, after the Civil War,
for control of the nations business,
reveals a mass of wreckage the like
of which had never been seen before.
So terrible had become the plight OF
the railroads as the result of devilish
reimbursement, the granting of re-
bates to Standard Oil and other cor
porations, the indiscriminate raising
of rates to the public and the lowering
of wages paid to workers to an almost
starvation level added to poor and
undependable service, that public out
CRY against the existing evils COM
pelled congress to take restraining
action against railroad management
Railroad management opposed the
Interstate Commerce act both public
lv and in secret and every one OF It's
provisions was tested in the courts,
where. in some cases corrupt, and IN
others, projudiced judges finally emas-
culated the commissions powers. In
spite of the act and the commissions
efforts to enforce it, rebates and dis
elimination in rates continued. CStan-
dard Oil being still the most scandal
lous beneficiary. So onerous were
conditions that there developed
growing agitation for still more regu-
lation and some threat of government
ownership of the roads.
In addition to the railroads, every
other industry was in the doldrums.
In 1884, for example farmers in Iowa
were compelled to use corn for fuel,
the price being so low they could not
exchange it for coal, cheap as that
product was. By 1890 the radicals"
had enough public support to compel
the enactment of an antitrust law.
This law, which attempted some con-
troll over trusts and combinations in
restraint of trade, like almost all 9th
err legislation of it's kind, proved in
effective, the courts again coming to
the rescue of big business and nulli-
fying its most useful provisions. Like
the Interstate Commerce act, it has
since been amended many times, but
still does not provide the public with

WHERE DOES He STAND

in the MVA fight are not going to be
denied their chance to vote for a can
didate favoring the MVA. They will
insist that some one favoring MVA
become a candidate. MVA will be an
issue and perhaps the most important
one in this campaign A third candi-
date in the field will not be good, but
there will be pro-MVA candidate
in the field no matter how many 9th
er candidates there are. Those ia
voring the MVA will not sit back and
let Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum
put on a campaign where the power
companies can't lose. Mr. Mansfield
must have the enthusiastic support
Of those opposing Wheeler to win and
he can't get it unless he takes now
clear stand on MVA and other issues
of importance to the common people
of the state.
Mr.. Mansfield should understand
the strength of the MVA movement in
Montana and should make up his mind
what his position is on the Murray
bill before he decides to file for the
senate. If he determines that he can
not intellectually support the meas
ure and campaign on that issue he
should not file as we predict his can
didacy will not be successful. If he
feels that he can support the measure
and says so unequivocally now we
welcome his candidacy and predict
that he will get the nomination with
the united support of the common peo-
pie of the state. They elected him
before when he advocated the liberal
of the people and they can
elect him again if he will once more
advocate a fortnight program for the
people including the MVA and eva.
Other questions upon which Mr..
Mansfield must be prepared to take a
clear stand on are compulsory mill
tary service, United Nations Organi-
cation, our relations with Russia, con-
troll of the atomic bomb, the full-em-
ployment bill and many others. His
in China is laudable but if
he is to run for the senate against so
an opponent as Wheeler
he must get off the fence and meet the
issues of the day.

RANKIN COM.
IS ''CALLED"
BY N. &c. L.

NEW YORK.-Refusal to submit t.
an insulting and unjustifiable in
quiry" at the hands of the Rankin
un-American committee was unani
mously voted Friday night by execu
tive board members of the Nationa
Federation for Constitutional Liber
ties, whose books and records have
poena by Ernest Adamson, counsel fol-
the committee.
Charging that the un-American com.
mittee serves mo proper legislative
purpose" and that it was revived ito
serve the interests of fascist minded
persons in this country, by labelling
as 'un-American' every anti-fascist or
ganization and smearing it as red or
subversive'," the NFCL board in a
statement made public announced
that it would not only resist the COM
mittee by every lawful means, but
will continue to press for abolition of
the committee itself.
Action by the board came after an
exchange of correspondence between
Adamson and George Marshall NFCL
chairman, in which Adamson began by
requesting on December 81 that NFCL
allow a search of its books and records
'to determine whether the organiza-
ton is engaged in subversive activi-
ties" When Marshall replied that the
request would be referred to the
board, Adamson wrote that 81 do not
know how long this committee will
care to watt and asked Would you
rather cooperate with the committee
voluntarily or shall we subpoena your
records?"
The ultimatum was answered with
the circulation of the NFCL statement
to the press, to the un-American COM
mittee and to members of congress.
Activities of NFCL, listed in the
statement, are based on program to
and build American democ-
racy and to defend it against fascist
and fascist groups and against the
support given to these groups by the
Dies committee and the present I'M
American committee. Included in its
activities have been support of the
soldiers vote, poll tax repeal, the
FEPC, rights of all democratic minor
tiles to full participation in the war
and in civilian life. 1t has opposed
anti-Semitism, discrimination against
negroes, anti-labor activities, red-bait-
ing and "all other Hitherto disruption
and divisive tactics" Especially the
NFCL has urged and supported every
action against the seditionists and all
native fascists," the statement said
further.
