portant than ever to continue
this interest. ~
Our present laws on immi-
grafton and naturalization are
not. in my opinion, good enough.
In some respects they are un-
fair, and, in others, inadequate
to meet the problems our coun-
try faces today.
recently appointed a Presi-
Dental Commission on Immi-
grafton and Naturalization to
make a study of our laws and
national policies on this SUBJ
ject. I hope that you who are
delegates to this conference, and
the organizations you represent,
will do all you can to help the
commission in the important
work it is undertaking.
These new citizens we are
welcoming here today will have
great responsibilities, as we'll as
great opportunities. in this coun-
try.
Under our Constitution, the
Government of the United States
belongs to ali the people, and
they govern this Nation through
their elected representatives.
Our national programs and
policies are formed by the use
of our freedoms-by the COM
petition Of ideas and proposals
that originate in labor unions,
farm and business groups, local
governments. clubs and COM
munity organizations, and in the
minds of individual citizens.
The success of free government
depends upon the willingness of
the citizen to participate in it,
to contribute to it and to sacr-
ifice for it.
Today. free government is
under attack, all around the
world. That fact should call
forth our greatest loyalties. Free
government needs our support.
We cannot keep it unless we are
willing to fight for it.

Communism Declines as
Peoples Needs Are Met

The danger that Communism
might gain political power here
through the ballot box no longer
exists. The high point of the
Communist Party in American
politics was in 1892. when people
were so miserable they would
listen to any quack who prom
ised a way out of the depression.
In the presidential election of
1882, the Communist Party
polled over a 100000 votes. To-
day. its membership Is less than
$4,000.
The chief reason the Com
munist Party has been losing
strength in this country is be-
cause our democratic society
has been successful in meeting
the needs Of our people. Every
step we have taken to make
living conditions better, to pro-
tect individual rights and hui
man dignity, has been a set
back for Communism. BY at
tacking hunger, poverty, and
disease, we have been doing
away with the conditions in
which Communism grows.
Moreover, we have been vigi-
liant against subversion. The
leaders of the Communist Party
have been prosecuted by the
Government in the courts. The
top leadership has been jailed.
Lesser leaders are now on trial.
and some have already been con-
victed.
Communism has not only been
beaten as a political force; it
has been driven out of trade
unions. and other organizations.
Our union members deserve q
lot of credit for the way they
have driven out and isolated
the handful Of Communists in
the labor movement.
In the Government service,
our loyalty program stands as
a firm barrier to Communist
inf1ltration. The FBI is con-
tinually on the alert to track
down and Illustrate the Com
muniSt spy.
In all these ways, we are max
ing our country safe against the
internal threat Of Communism.
When we talk about the in
ternal threat of Communism, it
is important to understand
clearly what we mean. The
Communist conspiracy is q
definite and disciplined group
Of people who are fanatically
dedicated to carrying out the
purposes Of the Soviet Union.
Those people can be identified.
isolated, prosecuted in many
cases, and rendered harmless.
But this group does not in
clude everybody we disagree
with. We are not engaged in an
effort to stamp out differences
of opinion. but to root out o
conspiracy. People who con-
fuse innocent persons with
Communists are not helping to
make our Nation secure. They
are simply creating a smoke
screen behind which the real
conspirators can find refuge.
They are simply muddying the
waters and making the real
Communists harder to detect.

away by q system Of forced
labor.
We are not going to let those
things happen here. That is why
we have joined with other free
nations to build up strong
defenses. That is why we are
defending ourselves against ag-
gression in Korea. This means
that many young Americans
are having to serve in our armed
forces. and some Of them are
giving their lives. It means that
our Nation is having to spend a
great deal Of money. But we
shall continue our resistance to
aggression because we know. that
is one of the things that must
be done to protect our liberty.
The greatest danger of Com
munism comes from the out
side, in the shape of threats of
force. aggression, and war. But
Communism never gives up its
efforts to weaken other nations
from within. It seeks to use all
the weapons of propoganda-to
stir up and confuse the people;
and it also seeks to place its
hidden agents in positions Of
trust and power.
In this country. we have been
waging a relentless fight against
this internal attack of Com
munism. AS a result, Com
munism inside this country has
been badly beaten.

Less than half Of our eligible
citizens exercised one of the most
treasured rights on earth.
We must not be complacent
about this. Most other demo-
cratic nations do far better than
we do in this line. The percent
age Of voters is higher in
England, France, and most other
democratic countries.
I hope we do much better In
the election this year. Amer
leans should realize that their
welfare. and the future welfare
of this country. depend on the
President they elect and the
kind Of men they send to
Congress.
OF course, 1t is not enough
Just to go to the polls and vote.
They do that in the Communist
countries-in fact. they have to.
The point of voting is to exer-
else an intelligent choice. This
means that every citizen must
try to inform himself on the
great problems Of the day, to
get the facts and debate them.
Similarly. 1t is the duty Of
our political parties and our
candidates to 60 before the
people with the facts.
Now. there are various ways
Of doing this. and some Of these
are more dramatic and interest
ing than others. But in q de-
mocracy, everyone engaged in
politics has q duty-a moral
duty-to try to keep public de-
bate reasonable and based on
a fair discussion of the issues.
Big Lie threatens
Democracy From Within
This brings me to another
danger which threatens our
democracy from within. and
that is q Big Lie. The Big Lie
is a weapon Of political warfare
which as developed by the
Communists, perfected by Hit
Ter. and is now being used on
q worldwide scale by the So
Wet Union.
The technique of the Big Lie
consists Of two things. It con-
sists first Of making a charge
against ones opponents which
is frightening and horrible and
so extreme that nobody could
believe that a decent person
would make it if it were not
true. Hitler explained this very
clearly. He said that if a lie
is bold enough people will think

SAB Million Damage
|By Tornado Estimated
AT Texas Air Base
By the Associated Press

The Air Force said yesterday
S48 million in damage was caused
by tornado that struck Carswell
Field near Fort Worth Septem-
ber /. destroying one B-36 bomber
and damaging 106 others.
Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg. Air
Force Chief of Staff, said 81 of
the $35 million bombers damaged
in the Texas storm already have
been repaired and returned to
service. He said about 81 more
will be repaired by October l.
The damage estimate was based
on a report made by an inspection
team appointed by Gen. Vanden-
berg to check into whether care
leSsneSs might have contributed
to the damage.
A Senate watchdog committee
announced last week that it. also,
has started an inquiry to deter
mine whether the damage resulted
from inadequate storm warnings
OF other avoidable factors.
The storm damage report shed
some light on the Air Force
strength in B-36 planes. Previous
ly published figures. which came
out during congressional hearings
some three years ago. indicated
the Air Force had between IS and
81 of the big craft. Since the out
break of hostilities in Korea, no
overall figures on plane strength
have been released by the Air
Force.
Gen. Vandenberg's report said
the demolished B-36 and II others
were hit at Carswell Field. Thirty
five were damaged at the nearby
Consolidated Aircraft plant.
Shortly after the tornado struck
without warning, the Air Force
reported the destruction of one
B-36. severe damage to several"
and minor damage to 26 other
bombers. Yesterdays report rep
resented the results of the investi-
cation conducted on the spot by
three senior Air Force officers.

On the county level. Mr.. War

to the Democratic record of COM
ing to the Office and leaving the
work to a clerk or coming at 10
a. m. and leaving at p. m. or
simply doing nothing but directing
the workers. The Democrats will
tell you that because of the low
salaries the public Office holders
should not be expected to be full
time. The answer to that is if they
don't intend to be full time public
elected servants then don't run for
Office, for the people who elect
them to public Offices expect them
to be willing to serve to the best
