WHAT WITCH HUNT?
George s. BenSon)

No Communist, matter how many votes he should in national election, could, if he would be- President of the present government. When a Communist heads the government of the United States
 and that day will just surely the sun rises the government will not be capitalist government but Soviet government, and behind this government will stand the Red army to enforce the dictatorship of the prolearat.
 Please read the above quotation again Could an American have said that? Or does it sound like sage from Moscow? Indeed everything in that state ment is un-Amercan It written by William z. Eos ter head of the Communist Party in the United States. This statement is reprinted in large type the back of pamphlet prepared and distributed by committee of the U. S. House of Representatives. This is the Con- mittee that is accused of 'witch-hunting'
 Nor is the Congress guilty of distributing the sayings of Communists as propaganda for the Sovets The pub lication which carries Mr. Fosters statement is very much ant-Communist The booklet is called "100 Things You Should Know About Communism in the U S. A. It is of series of five publications Ion the Communist conspiracy and it's influence in this country whole religion, on education, on labor and on government.
 By giving Mr. Foster prominent position the back cover of this booklet Congress hoped to show Amer jeans that native Communists really condemn them selves whenever they open their mouths In the quota tion there is revealed Communsms greatest appeal: the lust for power and the to dominate others that people have There is revealed also it's greatest weakness for people everywhere do not like to be do mated by force. People like to be free.
 The Congressional Committee to which refer is the Committee on Un-Amercan Activities If you have listened to the paaver of Communists the fellow travellers Communist sympathizers, the chances are you have heard this Committee of Congress strongly criticized Like the committee says the right given in the booklet by using the facts must certainly infurate the Communists It is true also that many of these right answers will shock the average citizen who has not studied the 'ism closely.
 not my purpose to apologize for the Committee UnAmerican Activities No apologies needed It has done great service to the American people in time when light and facts needed to clear up much confusion If the Committee has made minor mistakes in the of it's work it has at the time done glorious job in reseing our people on the American way of life It has opened the dark secrets of Commun ist conspirators.
 No wonder these men and their fellow travellers nfurated Perhaps they would not expect Congress tc
 live up to its obligations representatives of the peo pie Congress knows that there persons who would take their own evil advantage of Americas freedom Through the method of the Congressional investigation representatives in Congress have helped to unmask these conspirators who are hired by country that wants to control the world
 The Communist policy is to break down existing
 ons any way they can and in the confusion to seize control They will promise every kind of better life,
