American" to Mr.. Thomas and
his cohorts. The word is differ
ent, but the substance, the sub
stance of bigotry and oppres-
sion, is the same.
The Committee of course does
not have a Government propa-
ganda machine. 1t does not re-
quire it. The private lords of
the press, the private lords of
the radio, the private lords of
the motion pictures, are more
than willing accomplices in it's
cruel work. They are only too
ready to aid in the Committees
smear of human decency. After
all, why should they resist a
program which so neatly dove
tails with their own interests.
I DO not wish to leave the
impression that the Committee
does its dirty work alone.
We should not forget that it
is joined in its indecency by
innumerable other committees
in and out of the Government,
by host of agencies, public
and private, each eager to make
the loudest noise in reactions
jamboree; each straining to
show its fantastic devotion to
monopoly's cause.
Those who resist an inquisi-
ton into their personal and po-
litical beliefs are promptly
prosecuted-prosecuted for con-
tempt of the Committee as
though any decent American
would not always hold that
Committee in the utmost con-
Tempt.
Those who do not fit into the
orthodox pattern of monopoly
thought are villified in the pub
lie press, thrust out of their
jobs in public and private en-
ployment, arrested, imprisoned,
exiled, bounded in every con-
ceivable way. Meetings are
broken up by hoodlums acting
under the benign gaze of pub
lie authorities, aping the storm
troopers we so recently fought.
AND THEY are not yet salts
fled. They are disturbed that
there are still millions who re-
fuse to be terrorized, who in
sist upon speaking up in behalf
of the peoples rights. They are
searching desperately for means
to eliminate every vestige of
that progressive expression.
We all know that an interal
feature of fascism was the de-
struction of a free labor move
ment. The independent organi-
cation of labor represents a
serious impeachment to monop-
Oly's program. Labor unions can
be very Unreasonable" at
times. They even have the eff
frontery to ask for higher
wages, shorter hours, better
conditions for working men and
women, all at the expense of
monopoly's super-profits. Some

times they go so far as to strike
for these things. Obviously for
monopoly, organized labor must
be put in its place, and if it
will not take that place, it must
be destroyed.
Ever since the end of the
war, our economic royalists
have earnestly endeavored to
undermine the effectiveness of
organized labor. The bitter
strike struggles of 1916, the hys-
terical outburstS against labor
which filled the public press,
the clamor of the NAM. and
the Chambers of Commerce for
restrictive labor legislation were
not simply isolated activities on
the part of a few die-hard en-
ployers. They represented the
artillery barrage to cover a sor-
did drive on the front Of gov
SInIu6nIdl dCJlOl.
AND that drive has pro-
ceeded quite well for the mo-
nopolists.
The Taft-HartleY Act is a
long stride In fascism's direc-
tion. 1t is a sword poised at
the throat of labor's rights. 1t
allows for the destruction of
those prerogatives that give la
Dor its basic strength, the right
to strike, the right to picket,
the very right to organize. 1t
presumes to tell the working
people of America that they
must select as their leaders only
those individuals who are ac-
ceptable to the wielders of gov
ernmental power.
And what of fascism's racial
and national superiority, its
practices of racial and national
persecution? Do we have to
be reminded of the incidence of
that form of degradation in our
own country, the development
of native anti-semitism, of in
tolerance for religious and ma
tional minorities, the unspeak-
able oppression of the Negro
people, the segregation, the dis
elimination, yes, the terror TO

Hail the greatness of the ma
ton of Israeli The creation Of a
new small nation in these peril
GUS times of super states seems
to the world foolish. Israels' rise
from the ashes is as a morning
star shining in a dark, dark
world. 1t strengthens ones faith
in the ultimate coming of the
Day of Freedom for all peoples.
Israers greatness is her uncon-
querable spirit. Neither time nor
changes nor trials have been
able to snuff her flame.
Israel for 1000 years you have
been upreoted as a nation. For
two thousand years you have
cherished the dream of re-
stored Israel. This you taught
your children, and your chill
dren'S children. No generation
ever forgot to work for a re-
stored Israel. The world sneered
at the folly of your dreaming.
Derision did not cool your ardor.
You kept right on dreaming.
The prosecutions of you have
been many and shameful. Hit
leriSm killed and eXiled and dis
placed your millions, but every
where you went, you kept dream
ing. Semitism you met with. This
you overcame with your dreams.
Your culture, your religion, your
race loyalty have brought you
the prize of q redeemed Israel.
You never would have created
a nation had you done nothing
but cry before tn Wailing Wall.
Wisely you sharpened your own
axes and cut down for yourself
your own timber with which you
built the nation Israel. If you
had leaned on the British you
would have been doomed for
they were horsetrading with
your enemies to get the best of
the bargain. America, the So
called champion of the demo-
cratic aspirations of small and
unborn nations, side-stepped her
own proposal to create you as
a separate state. None of these
things moved you from the job
Of cutting your own timber and
building your own nation. You
kept right on doing what any
great people must do to be free:
chop your own wood and build
for yourself. You lost yourself in

Have you ever realized that
there's more to good food than just
flavor and color? Texture is i'm
portant too - that difference be-
tween something soft and chevy
and the crisp crust that goes with
1t. Perhaps the secret Of a pies
success is its soft center combined
with the flaky outer crust. And
maybe one reason we find nuts SO
enjoyable is because they lend in
terest to otherwise soft candies or
custards or buildings.
All good cooks must be uncon-
sciously aware Of the Importance Of
texture without knowing just why
they use certain combination of
ingredients.
Here are three quick and easy
desserts that take full advantage of
texture contrast. One is a simple
pudding" of apple sauce with
toasted bran flakes. Another is a
new dish that will please any child
or hungry man - sundae, believe
1t or not, made Of ice-cream and
cereal! And the third recipe is for
an uncooked pie shell that you can
whip up in fifty - just put to-
gether crushed corn flakes, sugar,
cinnamon and butter. Yes, there's
fun in looking for texture contrast,
and a good "chefs secret" to tuck
away in your memory!
