The red scare both national and inter
national, is the major feature of Washington
today, The un-American Activities commit
tee bill presumably to "handle" Communists
is a broadside at all progressive organiza-
tions. Opposition of all supporters of civil
liberties will develop on the broadest posi-
bic basis to this un-Amercan bill
This opposition was indicated at special
emergency committee meeting called by pro-
gressive congressman to start the fight
against this anti-civil rights bill. The con-
gressmen calling this meeting included Con-
gresham Adolph Sabath dean of the House
of Representatives from Illinois, Blatnck of
Minnesota, Powell, Celler, Klein, Marcan-
tonic and Isacson Of New York, Hoifield of
California, Sadowski of Michigan, as we'll as
Senator Glen Taylor. Each of these con-
gressmen blasted the bill as an attack on
the civil rights of all progressives under the
cover of red-baiting.
This so-caIIed "Subversive Control Bill'',
if it passes, will be the enabling act of fascism
in America. 1t has its almost exact parallel
in every country that has gone fascist, in
Italy, Germany, Spain, China, etc. This
deadly parallel must be recognized
The same parallel holds in the field of

international red-baiting 1t is we'll to recall
the anti omintern Pact formed between Ger
many, Italy and Japan in 1886 which led the
world to such devastation. The opening
paragraph of the Anti-C emintern Pact reads
as folloWs:
1.-The German government and the Japa-
nese government, recognizing that the aim of
the Communist Internationale known as the
Comintern is directed at disrupting and VIC
lating existing states with all means at its
command and convinced that to tolerate the
Communist Internationale's interference with
the internal affairs of nations not only en-
dangers their internal peace and social we'll
being but threatens world peace at large, ami
mated by desire to work in common against
Communist descriptive influence have arrived
at the following. agreement :. :"
Ask yourselves how muhc this would have
to be changed to describe the main trend in
American foreign policy today.
These actions in the domestic and inter
national field that parallel nazi actions must
be stopped if peace and freedom of the world
are to be preserved. The lessons of history
must be applied. Hysterical policies must
be avoided by remembering the tragic con-
of the hysterical policies of the last
decade

solely for the exercise of these rights
The United States Supreme Court
has already ruled that registration of
persons and organizations who are
engaged in lawful activities is uncon-
stltutional. But the effect of regis
tratlon does not stop here. The bill
requires that millions of citizens and
their organizations shall be compelled
TO Standardization through this reg
istration. This is obviously a viola
ton Of the 8th Amendment.
The Mundt bill would enact into
law the uncOnstitutionality of the
executive loyalty order with it's prin-
ciple of guilt of association This
Is in direct violation of the list and
Sth Amendments
The registration section of the bill
constitutes in itself a bill of attainder
violation of section 9, article I of
the Constitution.
Throughout the bill there runs a
thread of intimidation, despotism and
the suppression of the Bill of Rights.
The Mundt bill is a Thomas-Rankin
committees confession of failure.
They have failed over a period of ten
years in attempting to harness the
American people to destroy their
right of free association, free speech,
and free assembly.
1t has been $50 years since the
death of the Alien and Sedition acts,
the only fragrant disregard of the
Constitution as whole in American
history.
The rules committee of the House
of Representative can do the Amer
lean people a service by refusing to
permit the great legislative body of
the United States government to be
degraded by even considering legis-
lating fascism in the United States

PHILADELPHIA - Consider
able comment and appreciation
was provoked in political circles
here by an advertisement, spon-
sored by the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People in collaboration with 90
other national Negro organiza-
tons, which appeared in the July
1S edition of the Philadelphia
Bulletin.
Entitled LET EN- Walk" the
NAACP urged the Democratic
convention to take firm stand
on civil rights in the Democratic
platform. There may be times
for compromise, for concessions
that do not sacrifice moral integ-
rity or endanger the great end OBJ
jective." the NAACP admitted.
"But there is no room in Phila-
delphia in July, 1913, for COM
promise on human rights in the
Democratic Party platform"
If the southern delegates refus-
ed to agree to such basic tenets
of American democracy as civil
rights, the six-column advertise
ment advised the convention to
remain undisturbed IL these dele
gates walked out. "ff a set of
men wants to organize a political
party on a platform of letting
lynching take care of itself, of
permitting disfranchisement, of
maintaining discrimination and
inequality in employment, of en-
throning segregation and the doc
trine of superiority of one man
over another on the basis of mere
skin color, it is free to do So"
the advertisement read. ''In the
attainment of the great end OBJ
jective of a free, truly democratic
nation and a free world for all
men, they are hobble. not help.
Their going would be a blessing,
not blow. Let 'em walk!"
This advertisement, which
helped to strengthen the success
full determination of northern
and western delegates to include
strong civil rights plank in the
Democratic platform, was viewed
as a elimination of the NAACP's
39-year fight to persuade political
parties to take fortnight stands
on civil rights issues. id9
