Reader Anderson Thinks
Two Party System
Best; Points to France

Editor: / note your editorial on
independent Vote Important"
OF course the independent voter
does occasionally serve some good
purpose, but in the long run I be-
lieve it is best to have two strong
political parties. You can call
them anything you want to. If
everybody were an independent
voter there would be no parties.
These voters are prone to brag,
they vote for the man and not
for the party. What they mean is
they vote for some man that some
party has chosen for them, but
they have nothing to do with the
choosing of the man, and the same
rule applies to legislation. They
vote for or against legislation pro-
posed by some party.
France you know has tried to
practice grass roots democracy,
independent voting, and as a re-
suit they are in a state of confu-
sion. 1t looks as though we may
be drifting that way.
You say one of your readers
says there are fourteen candidates
running for president of the
United States, but that you do not
know who they all are. Neither do
l. l am not sure that it is for our
best interests.

HATEMONGERS

BY WILLIAM HENRY HUFF
Their aim is but to rule and rob
While they are in the saddle,
Which means that it is each ones
job
His own canoe to paddle.
To brow-beat is their nightly
dream;
They thrive on holy terror;
The doom of their unholy scheme
Is swiftly drawing nearer.

why am fighting so hard to bring
about a complete reversal of the
Truman, Forrestal, Vandenberg
Doctrine of domestic miitarizaton
and foreign support of kings and
reactionaries.
There are other things to be done,
of course We need a UN police
force. We need more democratic
structure for the UN, with direct rep
resentation of the people. We need
world law with teeth in it. But we
can't get these things until we do the
others, and we certainly can't get
them by building landing barges,
tanks, pursuit planes, atom bombs,
and uniforms for our 1S-year Olds.
Mr.. Truman and the others can
raise their false cry of Communist"
but they won't stop us from fight
ing for peace. They can't stop mil
lions of Americans from coming
into the New Party and building the
political organization that will win
the fight for peace. If the few
thousand American Communists
support Glen Taylor and myself,
THEY are supporting OUR pro-
gram. 1t is the program | have
outlined 1t is an American pro-
gram based on our belief in democ-
racy on our faith in our fellow
men-on our faith in their judgment
when they are given the facts.
In closing let me repeat my chal-
lenge to Mr. Truman and to all the
other candidates for office Il ask
them to join me in the following
pledge:
81 shall not knowingly accept the
support of any individual or group
advocating the limitation of demo-
cratic action for any other individ-
ual or group; nor the support of any
individual or group which would
restrict the civil liberties of others
for reasons of race, color or Creed
nor the support of any individual or
group advocating the violent over
throw of the government of the
United States
Candidates who accept the support
of the race supremacy fiends, who
would limit the democratic actions of
trade unions, who would restrict the
flow of free speech. who support in
timidation and campaigns of hate and
fear can't join in this pledge.
THOSE OF US WHO BELIEVE IN
DEMOCRACY PLEDGE 1T WITH
PRIDE.

| Ill Lne past year L nave SAID repeat
eddy that peace is not only neces-
sary, but clearly possible. | have said
that those who speak of the newt
ability of war are criminals. 1t is
SANDER against the intelligence of
mankind to say that we can't avoid
war by use of principle and reason.
1t is a flat statement that the people
aren't intelligent. And if one accepts
that notion, he denies the very basis
| of democracy.
Now in this year since the Truman
Doctrine was proclaimed with the
blessings of the leaders of both old
parties, | have said repeatedly that
the only purpose it can serve is to
terrorize our own people and people
abroad 1t says quite clearly-and |
think falsely-that there is lot more
blood to be shed before we get peace.
Millions Terrorized into Silence
Here at home, while the bipartisans
have built up their synthetic case of
a menace from abroad, our own free
doms have been undermined. Our
trade unions were early victims when
the congress passed the Taft-Hartley
law restricting their power to protect
the workers. In an atmosphere OF
hysteria, the administration and the
house un-American committee have
literally terrorized millions of people
into silence | get so many letters
lots of them unsigned-from people
who ask ME to fight back. They say
that they don't dare open THEIR
mouths for peace or they will lose
their jobs Speech isn't free when it
costs a man his livelihood.
In this past year | have challenged
Mr.. Truman and his bipartisan sup
porters to show a single American
principle or a single American public
interest which would have to be sac
rfced to make peace with Russia.
In hundred speeches during the
past year | have affirmed my faith
in my country and its institutions. [
have stated my conviction that we are
being led to slaughter by men who
put property and profit above human
needs, who put their own immediate
interests above the general welfare.
The only answer they give is to cry
communist, which is a completely
response from men who
have responsible positions of 'eader-
ship.
I am both a businessman and
farmer | like to make a reasonable
profit from the developments | have
made in agricultural science. And |
would like to see our American sys-
tenn work so well that all Independent
businessmen and farmers and workers
can enjoy the benefits of the very
full production which is possible.
But Am an opponent OF monop-
oies and cartels which profit at the
expense of the general welfare.
don't like the way they stifle small
business; the way they fight labor
unions; the way they try to shift
the blame for high prices to farm
ers and workers. Above all, | don't
like to see them use their powerful
organs-both press and rado-in an
effort to dominate the lives of mil
lions of Americans. They have
called opposition to monopoly "com-
munistic". call if fundamental
Americanism.
Let me put it simply:
want all the benefits which mod
ern science makes possble-all the
wonderful products for better and
longer Iiving-made available to all
of our people. l am glad that we
have the highest standard of living
