Academic inquiry should not be
confused with propaganda, as the
student or professor who studies
the Communist philosophy is en-
tirely different from those who
practice the philosophy for the
good Of the party.
Students must not use vigilante
tactics because direct action of
this ill-advised nature will spread
the very ideas the action is trying
to kill. It always makes martyrs
Of the Communists in the eyes Of
many fair minded Americans who
are not Communists.
Students should not be too lazy
to get up programs such as public
forums to offset similar programs
which Communist front organiza-
tions are very handy at arranging.
