WHAT WITCH
HUNT?
By GEORGE S. BENSON
Preside1t Of Hurding College
Secrecy. Arkansas

"NO COMMUNIST, no matter
how many votes he should secure
in national election, could, even
If he would, become President of
the present government. When
Communist heads the government
of the United States - and that
day will come just as surely as
The sun rises - the government
will not be a capitalist govern
ment but a Soviet government,
and behind this government will
stand the Red army to enforce
the dictatorship of the prole-
tarlat."
Please read the above quota
lion again. Could an American
have said that? Or does it sound
like a message from Moscow?
Indeed, everything in that state
ment is un-American. 1t was
written by William z. Foster,
head of the Communist Party in
the United States. This state
ment is reprinted in large type
IN the back Of a pamphlet pre-
pared and distributed by a Com
mittee of the U. S. House of Rep
resentatives. This is the Com
mittee that is accused of witch
hunting"
A Communist NOR is the Con-
Condemnation gress guilty of
distributing tt
savings of Communists as propa-
gauda for the Soviets. The publ
,u,on which carries Mr.. Fosters
s'Vorn statement is very much
.Hfl-Communist. The booklet is
called: 400 Things You Should

! S. A" 1t is one of a series of
five publications "on the Commu-
n'St conspiracy and its influence
ir this country as a whole, on re-
hton, on education, on labor and

BY giving Mr.. Foster a promi-
r"nt position on the back cover of
