Russia ought to be able to take
criticism, too.
But the party-liners beat back
the heretics.
There Is one true church and

Thus the New Party's convention

every point, no single word Of
criticism, implied or explicit, against
Russia. and presidential candidate,
Mr.. Wallace, calling on the Ameri-
cans to get out of Berlin and let
the Russians have it.
The Leftist victory, however, which
is perhaps most vital to the party's
future, was won in the rules. The
Rules Committee, headed by Rep
resentative Marcantonio of New
York, inserted gimmick in their
recommendations which did two
things. 1t weighted the National
Committee heavily in favor of States
like New York and Illinois where
Communist influence is strongest.
And it provided that simple ma
jority of those present when the
committee met-not a majority Of
the committee itself-could choose
40 new members for it. 1t is a setup
under which the Leftist minority
can seize power when ana as it is
most expedient for them.
Debate Is Limited.
The Right wing caught the peril
in this one, too. but they were cut
off by drastic limitation of debate
when it came up late Saturday aft
ernoon. Attention having been
called to this by press and radio,
today's debate was far more cir
cumspectly conducted with the dis
senters allowed to talk freely, albeit
uselessly.
1t Is still moot how much of all

fulness.
They were surprised that the floor
vote against 1t was so large. So
were reporters who had made
soundings on the floor and found
many sincere progressives in the
American tradition there. But these
nom Communists are either more
naive politically than one would
suppose from their backgrounds or
their real horror of another war
blinds them.
Macedonians Excluded,
1t would have been better strategy
for home consumption had the
Leftists consented to the public
Right-wing demands. But the tight
Communist discipline apparently
does not admit concessions. In a
ludicrous interlude, for example,
the majority resolutely excluded
Macedonians from a passage which
had originally supported the as
pirations of the Irish, Armenians
and Macedonians." But the Mace

, can constitutional methods and
thereafter the application of its
radical economic and social doc
trines by our traditional Legislative
methods, there would be no grounds
for objection to communism's par
ticipation in the American political
drama.
The party is not, however, polit-
ical activity in the same sense that
the Republican and Democratic
parties are political activities. The
Communist Party takes its orders
from Moscow. Many of it's leaders
have been trained in Soviet Com
munist schools, where the burden
of their instruction is the technique
of revolution and sabotage. 1t has
devoted its efforts to creating chaos
in the American economic sphere
by fomenting strikes and strike dis
orders.
The Communist Party leaders are
not being prosecuted, therefore. for
their purely political opinions. They
are not being prosecuted for their
thoughts and their rightful desire
to see this country develop along
lines of their own liking.
Soviet Imperialism Is Question.
The Communist leaders are being
prosecuted, however, because they
sit at the top of an extensive ma
chine with it's tentacles in every
part of the country-a machine
which is devoted to the violent
overthrow of our form of Govern
ment and the subjection of the
American people, through their de-
feat by force of arms if necessary,
to the Soviet Communist form of
government.
In its last analysis the whole
question is not one of communism
so much as it is question of sub
ordination of the American way of
life and the American form of
Government to Russian imperialism,
which can never completely domi-
nate the world as long as the
United States stands as a rallying
point of resistance. Without the
American determination to defend
democracy and freedom throughout
the world the non- Communist ma
tions would be easy subjects for
Russia's domination. Neither Britain
nor France nor Italy is powerful
enough to lead that resistance.
The United States is powerful
enough, however, and represents the
chief obstacle to Soviet Communist
aims. 1t has made itself, therefore
the implacable foe of aggressive
communism and it is this country
which is most sensitive to Com
munist infiltration.
A start is being made on the
eXtirpation of the Communist
espionage and sabotage machine
in this country and as this cam
paign gains in momentum the
national defense will be strength
ened in direct proportion.

Ordeals Never End.
One has only to read the Court
Circular and such magazines as
The Taller and Sketch to realize
what never-ending ordeals are suf-
fered by those who spend their
time in Buckingham's big boarding
house. The only time they have to
themselves Is when they are asleep
and they must not get much sleep
They are on display almost as
much as Nelson's statue in Traf-
algar Square, but, unlike Nelson
they can't set their faces in one
position and let it go at that. They
must laugh, smile, show amaze
ment, surprise and all other emo
tions except displeasure.
The Court Circular, which runs
in papers like the Times and the
Observer each day, tells where the
King and Queen, the Royal Prin-
cesses, the Duke of Edinburgh and
others are, and what they are doing,
The Taller, Sketch and other
magazines record the goings-on in

Schedule Is Exhausting.
Theirs is a schedule which would
break down a combination Lionel
Strongfort and marathon runner.
How the Queen manages to
keep on the plump side is a mystery
to me, what with all the trotting
along she does with the King. In
the few days I have been here they
have spent days traipsing around
agricultural fairs at York and In
verness, Scotland: have entertained
at numerous garden parties; pa
raded before horse players at Ascot;
and, well. YOU name it.
You know it can't be fun, especi-
ally those fairs. On your feet all

If you were a freak, and having to
ask all sorts of questions about this

Princess Margaret Rose is really
working these days. With Princess
Elizabeth not getting about as much
as she did, Princess Margaret has
to do the work for the both of
them. She, poor girl, just at an age
when she would like to be having
bit Of fun, is doing everything from
dedicating new houses for INDECENT
thrushes to christening boats.

United States Government. If the
charge were that the party con-
spires for the abolition of the Amer.
lean. constitutional system and the
civil liberties and legal projections
of Americans in behalf of the inter.
ests of foreign state, the charge
could, am convinced, be sustained.
We shall have to leave it to the
courts, however, to decide whether
the indictment, as phrased, can be
proved.
The international Communists al
ways have been aware of the legal
dangers confronting such a move
ment as theirs and of the tactical
difficulties of realizing their aims.
What they publicly advocate is
never what they privately plot. If
overthrowing the Government by
force means marching on Washing
ton with guns, they certainly are
not so naive. This is not the
eighteenth century.
Seek Power Directly.
The tactic is legally to capture
sufficient power directly, or by Goa
litions with other parties (the
American Labor Party and the
Wallaceites), to- put them in COM
mand Of key Government posi-
tions. They then can use these
posts as levers to overthrow the
constitutional system, turning the
instruments Of the state against
the people and establishing, in the
name of the people, . reign Of
terror.
I doubt whether existing acts are
applicable to this sort Of con-
spiracy.
Meanwhile the Wallaceites, as
usual, are playing the game Of
these traitors, and showing utmost
confusion of mind. Repeating what
he has continually said from public
platforms, Mr.. Wallace issued this
statement:
Defense of the civil rights of
Communists is the first line in the
defense of the liberties of a demo-
cratic people. The history Of Ger
many, Italy, Japan and Franco
Spain should teach us that the
suppression of the Communists is
but the first step in an assault on
all those who oppose the
policies OF the government in
power"

effort by sabotage if we ever become
embroiled with Soviet Russia.
Ample time was taken in the
preparation of the indictments
more than a year was devoted to
investigation-and action was taken
with extreme deliberation and con-
sideration Of mass of evidence
There can be no contention that
the indictments were the result of
excessive zeal to purge the United
States Of Communists or of lack OF
examination of evidence.
There is no reason to believe that
the grand jury's findings were
hastened by the quickening crisis
with Russia in Berlin. In all like
lihood the charges were filed and
the arrests made at the routine
conclusion Of the grand jury's
investigation.
Nevertheless, the question of
whether the Communist Party will
be permitted to function as fifth
column for Soviet Russia within the
United States comes now to head
in advance of the outbreak of a
shooting war.
Soviet Tightens Its. Lines.
1t comes also at time when
Soviet Russia-perhaps anticipat-
ing the approach of armed conflict
has begun feverishly to tighten
its lines and to fasten more securely
its hold not only on its satellite
states in Eastern Europe, which
would be essential to Russia's con-
duct of war, but also on the foreign
Communist parties in non-Com-
munist countries, whose work on
Russia's behalf has been cut out
for them.
In order to avoid confusion of
thinking on the whole matter of
Communist activity within the
United States it must be kept clearly
in mind that If the Communist
Party were purely and simply a
political party. based on an econ
omic and social philosophy which

playing his last game before turn

game, but his mates didn't give him
the support needed to win ball

Laurel counted once in the first
inning by virtue of a walk and a
hit by Colin WEIGH that scored
George Rack. In the second inning
Laurel scored four runs. Filling the
the bases by way of an error and
two walks, with two down, Burns
hit to short stop who made a poor
toss to second and two runs came
home. Anderson hit to left, scoring
two more, and Laurel went ahead.
The Post came back in the third to
score twice, with Laurel counting
one more in the sixth. Billings
rallied for three runs in the seventh
with a walk, two errors, a double
by Peckham and a triple by Rogers.
With none away Krug struck out the
next three batters to stop the rally.
Laurel counted one more in the
eighth on two hits by Anderson and
Belinak. The Post started another
