2. Fellow Travellers.

9 Fellow Travellers These fall into two main groups: First those, such described above, who actually Communists, but never are registered In any part of the party machinery; and, second those who never join the party at all, because, although Communists welcome them bosom buddies for various they do not wish to risk incrminat- ing documentary evidence. The socalled intellectual Communists" are generally in this latter class Ere quently, when they of higher caliber in ability and prestige they are not welcome as party members because of their unwingness andfor inability to ac- cept Communist Party discipline. It is to be re- membered that the conspratorial Communist Party which openly teaches treachery, fraud dupcity and sediton things to be proud of and indispensable to practical revolutionary organization does not well come men and women of deep integrity, character and ability.
 B. Opportunsts. A third and very important type of Salinist although generally transient in the Red orbit is the Opportunist. Many left-wing labor and political leaders will be found in this category. Most of these do not believe in Marxism, Leninism Stalinsm They join with and work with and for Communists and fit ther conduct into the pattern Of Stanst activity solely for real or fancied reasons of personal gain and temporary advantage. Persons of this category usually start out by believing that they can play with Communists and use them" They generally discover that tired Commie can match the veliest and most dishonest politician any day ",
 4 Dupes These are numerous and are persons who follow all part of the party line in the hope of accomplishing particular aspiration They are too blind or too thoughtless to perceive Con- munist trickery in front groups behind the mask of humanitariansm Communist dupes may well be compared to the victims of confidence men. All too frequently they have the same theological economic or political quick instinct that makes the sucker" or "chump" easy prey to the swindler
 In contrast to the reaction of ordinary Ameri- cans when they encounter Communists in an organi- zation Stanist dupes will involve themselves in com plicated pseudo-logic to justify representation and participation for Communists They will continue, in the face of facts, to lend their names, funds ana support to organizations sponsored by Communists They are apparently incapable of understanding the basic truth that no Communist joins a reform movement of any kind except to twist it to the Party line wreck it.
 There they are = four of a kind. Every one of these people is dangerous to your own noertes ana way of life more so than enemy troops, because these at least are uniformed and may be readily distinguished.
 Precious few of them will admit their activities and will deny vehemently that their motives and actions are anything but the purest. But do not be taken in by glib denials and fast batter Know them by their actions = not their words
 A long time ago, wise old man said, "What you are shouts so loud, I cannot hear what you say Chances are he not referring to Communists but the words seem sngularly appropriate today.
