 held by pigeon-holing the trial of an alleged traitor such as Con- stance Drexel? Will the U. s. Supreme Court (and other courts) show the power of the law by al- lowing them to crawl through legal loopholes like Bundists or the Ger aid L. K. Smiths? . Will they be punished like indicted traitor Ezra Pound, who escaped trial by plead ing insanity? Will justice tri- umph as in the case of John L. Lewis, who reportedly aided NaA agents and now has the power to paralyze the nation with strikes?
 Will they have a trial like Axis Sally who was set free because she gave up her American citizenship in order to help the Axis kill Ameri- can soldiers? Will the long arm of the law clutch them like pro- Nazi isolationists who fought Amer ica (before the war) and now have the freedom to re-organize their outfits? .. Will they be put behind bars like some pro-Nazi members of the Steuben Society, who now have American generals and ad- mirals at their meetings? . Will they be destroyed like the cartel ists who are now receiving Amerl- can loans? Will they be wiped out like Axel Wenner- -Gren and other no-goods on the economic blacklist, who still do American business? Will they be punished by having their influential friends in Washington use their power to obstruct justice as Sen. Taft and other solons did for the alleged sedl- tionists? Will they be put be- hind bars by having shyster lawyers (who can spot loophole at sixty paces) help them evade the law? Will the U. s. Communists after we expose them-be punished by gaining the sympathy of more Americans?
 Why expose subversives? Have those who were exposed before (and during the war) changed their mind or tactics? .. Aren't the Joe Me Williamses and Lizzie billings still spreading "Nazi' propaganda? Isn't the Ku KluX Klan still thumb ing its nose at the law? Aren't the financial supporters of the pro- Bund America Firsters using the profits they earned (during the War) to continue their peculiar American" activities?
 Why expose subversives when al- legged seditionists and indicted tralt- ors (and their supporterS) still have the freedom to destroy everything for which the war was fought? . Why expose them when they car still endanger the life and liberty o1 Americans who pay their taxes, up hold law and order and are ready to fight and die for their countryi Why expose them when II re- suits oin trying to muzzle and Vlllf! neWspapermen who make the eVl dence public? Why expose then when the Justice Dept suppresse evidence against subversives ant fires a courageous public servant llk John Rogge for living up to hl sworn oath of office by trying t bring them to justice?
