CAREY SAID:

There is no question but that
A m er C a and the whole free
world is in terrible danger as
this year of 1851 opens. We have
no way of knowing whether, by
the end of the year, the Com
Smunist hordes may not have
overrun all of Europe and a large
part of Asia and have establish
ed domination over 70 of the
worlds people. That is possible.
This year of 1851 will be the
year of decision. If we can keep
the peace, rapidly build up our
strength here and a m n G the
other free nations keep Com
munism at bay, we may then
have the opportunity to demon
strate to Russia that aggression
does not pay. We may then have
a chance to build the bulwarks
of freedom SO strong that they
cannot be broken down.
What /, want to talk to you
about is the kind of dangers that
confront us, and the road we
must take in order to prevent
the free world from defeat. !
4 ant to talk about the role we
responsibilities of government,
of business, and of labor in this
struggle.
It seems clear that we are all
in this struggle together. If we
lose to Communism, capitalism
is done for, free enterprise will
vanish, there will be no free
farmers, small business will be-
come part of the Soviet machine,
and instead of free labor there
will be the kind of slave labor
we now see in eastern Europe
and in China. There will be no
difference between Democrats
and Republicans in the Com
munist concentration camps, and
the same bullets of the firing
squads will kill Hoover and
AchesOn.
But America is coming to the
Tarting of the ways on the ques-.
tion of how our freedom is to
be preserved. There are two
roads pointed out to us, and we
will have to choose between
them.
But they are completely OPP
posite roads. BY one road We can
defeat Communist aggression,
maintain and expand the free
world and realize the blessings
of not only liberty but also a
higher standard of living for
ourselves and hundreds of mil
lions of others.
BY the second road, we will
at best maintain in America an
armed camp that will steadily
degenerate into a semi-Fasclst
state, that will resemble more
and more the dictatorship that
~ are trying to defeat.
IA Vhat are these two roads open
.Uus?
First, there is the road pro-
posed by the McCormick-Hearst-
Mccarthy Taft-Hoover Dixiecrat
axis. This group proposes in ef-
feet that we abandon our demo
cratic friends throughout the
world as being unreliable;
that we hold onto the only "re-
liable" fighters against Com
munism such as Franco, Chang
Kai Chek, the Emperor of Indo-

monopolistic copper companies.
You read last weekend the con-
gressional report on the way our
defense is being held up by the
refusal of the monopolistic In
ternational Nickel Company to
expand nickel production.
1t is strange and ironic thing
that these big business corpora
tions like General Electric, WeS-
tinghouse and International Har-
vester can not only continue to
do business with Communist
unions but even try to pit COM
munist and anti-communist un-
ions against each other. Yet
these corporations beat their
breasts about the danger to free
enterprise and the American
way of life.
And when ] go to the NUM-
tions Board to propose that de-
fense contracts not be granted
to plants where there are Com
munist unions, these great patri-
otic American corporations and
the patriotic American press re-.
main silent.
What is the difference be-
tween having the GE plant in
Schenectady whose union is run
by communists, than having the
same plant located in Stalingrad
where communists are also in
control.
We in labor have a tremen-
dous job to do in this year 1851.
We have got to make clear to
the American people the two
roads that they can travel and
the dangers to them if they trav-
Ell the road of isolationism and
reaction. We must educate them
on the real way to fight Com
munism, with arms, with ideas,
with economic aid. We must
show that it is fatal to appease
dictatorship in Europe and Asia
since the more concessions we
feed to it, the stronger it gets
and the weaker we get.
We have got to show likewise
that it is fatal to feed reaction
with concessions here, because
the more we feed it the stronger
it becomes and the weaker the
forces of liberalism and free
dom become.
We have got to demonstrate
to all concerned, that the fight
against Communism by this Gov
ernment cannot succeed if it is
simply led by men from big bus
iness. There must be, in places
of equality with them, leaders
of American labor, directing the
strategy, the policies, the opera
tions of this vast Operation
Freedom"
Already much damage has
been done to our cause abroad
by not having men from labor
in the top policy and operating
parts of our defensive dhive.
We have got to realize that
the fight for civil liberties, the
rights of labor, decent living
standards, equality of sacrifice
at home is necessary part of
the fight against dictatorship
and aggression abroad. We can
only remain free in the world
by being free at home. All free
American Labor, through the
United Labor Committee, has
presented its program to Presi-
dent Truman. On that program
we can go to the American peo-
pie, and to the people of the
world.
We have got to show the
American people, despite the lies
told about labor in the last cleo
ton, that we have no interests
that are separate and apart from
the welfare of our country and
its people. We have got to show
by our actions and our educa-
tional work that, as in the whole
history Of orr country 1T has

ist menace b m G from the
outside, the tighter the controls
would be placed on Americans
until finally we would resemble
the same dictatorship we are
, trying to fight.
This is no wild dream. This is
grim, CHASTITY possibility. This
is what would have happened if
the Tafts had Won the 1910 cleo
tions and had controlled the gov
ernment then. Only then think
they would have had made their
peace with the NaZis.
I say this is a possible road.
You may say that some of those
who want to take us down that
road don't believe in dictator
ship. That may be true. But if
we all end up in a Communist
camp or before a firing squad,
will it make any difference to
us whether Taft or Mccarthy
was only an ignorant fool and
not a Scheming Fascist?
What is the second possible
road that we can take in this
decisive year of 1851? That road
is the road of fellowship with
the democratic world, realizing
that we are all in state of
siege, and it's a matter of all for
one and one for all. AS free men
we all survive or perish togeth-
er.
This means that we recognize
that Europe, having gone
through two devastating wars,
is mortally afraid of third, so
instead of being impatient and
dictatorial, we work with the
free people of Europe in real
comradeship and understanding.
We let the people of Europe and
of free Asia know that we will
not only share military defense
with them but also the possibili-
ties of decent living standards.
We made clear that this is not
fight between the philosophy
of Communism and Capitalism,
but between democracy and die
tatorship.
We will make A erica
showplace of democratic and
civil rights because we are not
afraid of the loyalty of Ameri-
cans to freedom.
In this S ggle that lies
ahead, it will not be the Nc
Carthys, the Hoovers, the Tafts,
the McCormicks, who will be in
the front lines in fighting Com
munism. No, as always, it will
be organized labor. For We have
been fighting Communism all
over the world for 80 years, and
it is the ICFTU that today is the
first line of defense for democ-
racy. 1t is strange and ironic,
that the press is willing to play
up these Tafts and McCarthys,
yet it is labor who stands on the
firing lines day after day, re-
pelling the ON m un on
slaught.
1t is an ironic and perhaps
tragic thing that despite Taft's
ten years of complete blindness,
first before the Nazi menace
and now before the Communist
menace, the press of this state
of Ohio went all out for him. In
its blind antagonism to liberal
ism and labor, the press of this
state was willing to court dis
aster to the nation by. having
men like Taft in our national
leadership.
1t is strange and ironic thing
that these big business corpora
tions who yell about Commun-
ism in Washington, refuse to
join the struggle against Com
munists unless they are guar
anteed their enormous profits.
The newspapers the other day
said that US Steel is building a
400 million dollar steel plant to
expand production. But US Steel
only agreed to do that after the

that we pull back to our shores
and 60 into our storm cellars.
BY whatever name this is call
ed, whether it is Taft's "re-ex-
animation" or Hoover's isola-
tionism, the theory is the same.
This group feels that it is hope
less to try to defend democratic
Britain and France, social demo-
cratic Norway or Switzerland,
or Italy. We can only fight when
America itself is invaded. Other
wise let the rest of the world 60
hang.
Now this theory is not new.
The same people who advance
it now in fighting Communism
advanced it in 1910 when the is
sue was fighting Nazi-Fascism.
You remember the A m C a
First group, whose political lead
ers were the same people. the
Tafts, Mccormick, Hearst, Hoov-
er and whose big business back
ers supplied millions of dollars
for propaganda. When Britain
was fighting alone for democ-
racy these "brave men" of the
America First group wanted to
abandon her and abandon Eu-
rope. They had no stomach to
fight for democracy. 1t was too
expensive. Here is what your
own Senator Taft said in 1910
after France had been overrun
and Britain was staggering un-
der the blitZ.
'I do not know what the Ger
mans may do, and no one knows
what they may do until they are
freed from the present war and
have an opportunity to show.
When they do, we can adopt
the same methods. We can take
the same steps that may be nec-
essary to meet, the particular
kind of German blitzkreig, if
there is such blitzkreig, at the
time we find out what it is"
In plain English this out
standing statement meant -
LET the Nazis win the war and
then if they attack us, We'll fig
ure out what to do.''
Isn't that exactly what Taft is
saying today. in the fight against
Communism?
At that same time, in 1910 and
1941 when Roosevelt was trying
to get this nation to rearm, the
big industrialists said we did not
need to have more steel, more
copper, more aluminium. They
wanted business as usual, and
profits as usual. 1t was organized
labor that went out and demand
ed that this nation mobilize to
meet the Nazi challenge.
The policy of these reaction
aries, the ones who always cry
free enterprise" and "democ-
racy" was one of defeatism when
it came to showdown. They
had no confidence in democracy
or freedom. They were willing
to throw in the sponge.
Today, they are pursuing the
same policies. While the Nc
Carthy's, Tafts, H overs, Nc
Cormieks, Hearsts, b e a their
breasts in denouncing Commu-
nism in the State Department or
ON the radio and demand purges,
when it comes to really fight
ing Communism they want to
throw in the sponge, retire to
our storm cellars here.
IsOlation1sm and Communism
are allies today just as isolation
and fascism were allies just 10
years ago, in 1910 and 1941. To
a few naive souls it may still
sound extreme to link Senator
Taft, Herbert Hoover and Col
onel Mccormick - supposedly
relentless foes of Communism
with the Kremlin's scheme
for world conquest.
Nevertheless, willingly or un-
Willingly, the Tafts and the
Hoovers are as much in partner
shin with .TOcppb Stain tOdau &c

be pulled out of Asia and out of
Europe. Both papers have de-
clared, in effect, that both con-
tinents should be turned over to
the tender mercies of Russian
totalitarianiSm. Both pa p r s
have constantly attacked and
undermined every major deci-
sion and action undertaken by
the United Nations.
There are other ways in which
the Taft Hoover Mccormick axis
serves the Kremlin. These Amer
ican isolationists today demand
exactly what they demanded in
1910 and 1941 - that this coun-
try retire behind its two oceans,
that it turn itself into kind of
Gibraltar" o m p e e y sur
rounded by hostile world.
Stain himself couldn't ask for
more! He couldn't ask for more
gratifying surrender than for the
United States to abandon the
democratic nations of Europe
and desert the nations of Asia
where democracy is beginning
to move forward for the first
time. We would be handing over
to Salin's Slave-labor machine
countless millions of men and
women and giving him, by de-
fault, the priceless natural re-
sources of two continents to
trengt hen his war-making
ability.
Is it any wonder that even the
nations outstanding Republican
newspaper, the New York Her
aid Tribune, can't even call this
m n e SIS "isolationism." The
Herald Tribune flatly terms it
"retreatism!,
I tell you as earnestly as
can: there is no place in this
world today - this world OF the
Bomb - where we can hide
Bomb - weber we can hide
from totalitarianism. Neither the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans nor
the North Pole are barriers.
We can no longer mince words
or insist on the niceties of eti-
quette when our nations future
is at stake, when democracy
everywhere is in desperate dan
ger. WE HAVE GOT TO SEE

Our own safety as a nation and
the establishment of democracy
and peace throughout the world
depend on reputation of every
thing that the Tafts, the Hoov-
ers and the McCormicks stand
for. We must, for our own saliva

What would happen in Amer
lea as a result of successful iso-
latiOniSm?
/ think we already see the
signs of it - l think we can see
that the isolationism of this axis
of defeatism, is tied to reac-
tionary policy at home. Here is
what they will aim for:
/. They will try to convert
America into an armed camp for
an indefinite period while the
Communists nibble away at the
Western Hemisphere-at Cana
da, South America, the West In
dies.
2. They will use this situation
they have created, to panic the
American people into giving
them political power in 1852.
3. Once in power they will
use the Subversive Controls Act
and similar acts to stamp out
