IO Juc J IdSCl1LSL1O I1loU lOA is that which accomplishes the de sired end in the shortest possible time.
 Thus, it seems to me, the whole fabric of first lessons in Com munism is woven together into a pattern of true and false logic; good and bad ethics, and short range local friendship gestures to- ward the Negro, which obscure the dangerous hidden motives toward which Communisc is really work ing.
 However, if the first lessons in Communism as pictured here, were the end result of the whole doc Urine; I must acknowledge that I would be a fool and a traitor to the best interests of my race if I hesitated to become a Communist. But a mental review of the obvi- ous actual ends toward which Com munism works, as gathered from serious study of numerous lectures and writings prepared by it's most eminent American opponents, and considerable reading of European fountain-head literature, leads one strongly inclined to the belief, that the Negro race in America would be considerably less satis- fled with the complete attainment of Communist ascendency in the United States, than with the ex- isting prejudices of our present day. I think that this becomes at once apparent to even the casual investigator, when the rapid ad- vancement of the Negro masses during the four generations elaps- ing since his freedom, is compared to the static circumstances of the Negro slave population of Russia who were emancipated about the same time as the American Ne gro. Tn other words, democracy is constantly becoming better. The upcurve is admittedly slow, but the cure is ever in that general direction. Communism, on the oth- CT hand, is a doctrine that has been prepared by races of men unacquainted with the true objec- tives of the Negro race. Their fixed laws, like the Laws of the Meades and Persians" may not be changed. The dictator and his staff IS the law.
 | BUT-The Communist in Amer ica should be fairly dealt with; the scales of justice should be for ever held in the hands of the blind folded lady. The humanitarian work of individual Communists should be lauded when clearly dis associated from untoward motive Any legally accredited politica, party that does not. indirectly ol directly indicate the overthrow o1 the United States Government should not be molested. Communist front organizations should be re quired by law to register the fact I of such affiliation. I believe tha- such cells are much more danger. ous to the peace and security ot our country, than are the oper and above board tactics of the clearly labelled Communists of rec. ord. And, finally, you rcorrespond- ent would add this: the semi. religious aspect of the Communists
 penetration should be carefully scrutinized, particularly where young minds are concerned. The religion that made the Negro fre<
 and gave him his first schools, must not be abandoned for a poli.
 tical philosophy that will once again enslave his will to the fixet judgement of a race of men unac
 quainted with the true hopes ana aspirations of the Negro peoples
