l want 10 talK to you tonight
about a disease. It is a disease
which may have killed more
people in this world in the last
five years than cancer, than
tuberculosis, than heart dis
ease-more than all Of these
combined.
It certainly killed more minds,
more souls, more decent human
hopes and ambitions. than any
corruption-including the dark
est days Of Hitler.
want to discuss with you the
ways that communism has at
tackled this Nation-and the
ways we are meeting this attack.
This subject is swathed in
fog and confusion. Most Of this
has been created by the Com
munists themselves, seeking
under confusion's cover to adj
vance their evil purposes. But
some Of it has been created by
political demagogues. who are
hunting for votes much more
than they are for Commu-
niSts. 49,.
Agents Of Soviet communism
first began making Roadway in
this country in the 1920's. The
administration, you will recall.
was Republican at that time. A
month ago the junior Senator
from Wisconsin quoted what he
said was a Department Of JUS
tice document to prove the ex-
istence of Communists In the
State Department. It is true that
he found the quotation in a De-
partment of Justice doucment.
But he neglected to say that 1t
described the situation in 1928.
and that what it proved was the
existence of a Communist plot
under the presidency of-Cal-
vim Coolidge.
But, as I have said, the great
Communist conspiracy had its
first real chance when the Re-
publicans fumbled and bungled
this Nation into the great
depression. C''Fumbled and
bungled" is not mine but one of
their favorite oratorical epithets
for everything the Democrats
have done for 20 years. You
remember the bitter winters of
1880 and 1881. Farmers in
Arkansas - conservative, law
abiding farmers - organized to
march on towns and loot the
stores. Children left home to
spare their parents another
mouth to feed; so many of them
left that the railroads put on
special open boxcars to keep the
kids from breaking into the
closed ones. Millions of Ameri-
can men and women waited
in the breadlines. An army
of ragged veterans actually
marched on our national capitol.
It is little wonder that across
the land, men and women -
and especially the young-be-
gan to drift toward the terrible
conclusion that free government
had reached the end of it's rope.
Reaching out for solution -
any solution - the Communist
agents found ready converts
among the unemployed, the
farmers. the workers. It, was
then that so many intellectuals.
witnessing the devastation of
capitalism and the menacing
rise of Hitler. became entangled
IN the Communist conspiracy.
In the election of 1882, almost
one million Americans voted
against the capitalist system. If
the paralysis had continued in
Washington. the one million
votes cast against capitalism in

I think we are entitled to
ask, is the Republican candidate
seriously interested in trying to
root Communists out of the
Government. Or is he only in
terested in soaring the Ameri-
can people to get votes?
Does the general really want
to purge Communists from the
Government, or has he simply

Cites Loyalty System
In Federal Government

Because we believe in the free
mind, we are opposing COM
muniSm with all our will. We
are opposing it abroad, where
its relentless pressure seeks fur.
Their to narrow the area of free
dom. We are opposing it at
home. where its agents and it's
dupes seek to undermine our
society and strange our free
dom in its own paradoxes.
AS President, I would use all
the power Of the Federal Gov
eminent to expose and identify
Communist activity, to remove
Communists and their tools from
places Of position and prestige
in our society and to protect our
free institutions from Com
munist espionage, sabotage
and subversion. It is because
the Democratic Party believes
In fighting communism that this
administration has established
a loyalty system in our Federal
Government, has indicted and
convicted the Communist lead
ers and the Communist spies
and has exposed Communist in
huence and activity in our
national life.
But, because we believe In
the free mind, we are also fight
ing those who, In the name of
antl-communism, would assail
the community of freedom itself.
The liberties Of expression and
conscience are the basic liber-
ties OF American society. They
are sustained by our whole
structure of law and justice.
That structure has sufficed for
us IN the great crises of our
past. see nothing in the fu-
ture which requires us to throw
1t overheard now.
I would call to your mind the
words Of a great Republican
patriot, Theodore Roosevelt. mo
greater harm can be done to the
body polite" Theodore Roose-
welt said, than by those men
who. through reckless and indis-
criminate accusation of good
men and bad men. honest men
and dishonest men alike, finally
so hopelessly puzzle the public
that they do not believe that
any man in public life is en-
tirely straight; while, on the
other hand, they lose all indig-
nation against the man who
really is crooked"
And in case you have not been
reading all the philosophers, I
remind you that Aristotle said:
History shows that almost all
tyrantS have been demogogues
who gained favor with the peo-
pie by their accusations of the
notableS." Way back there!
Disturbing things have taken
place in our own land. The pill
lorying of the innocent has
caused the wise to stammer and
the timid to retreat. I would
shudder for this country if I
thought that we, too, must sur
render to the sinister figure of
the inquisition, Of the great &C
cuser. I hope that the time
will never come in America
when charges are taken as the
equivalent Of facts, when sus-
picions are confused with Ger
tainties, and when the voice of
the accuSer stills every other
voice in the land.

Senate Inquiry
Requested

immediate Senate inquiry into
campaign spending by presidential
aspirants of both major parties
The Minnesota Democrat an
nounced he is introducing q bill to
provide for such an investigation
He also wrote Senate elections
subcommittee-which would con
duct the inquiry-that:

cal deals, stealing of delegates,
smear literature use of patron
cynicism about politics and if the
trend is not stopped will, in fact,
mean that we have allowed price
tag to be placed on the presi-
dency,"
Humphrey named no names. His
move for an inquiry came against
the background of intense drives
for both the Democratic and Re
publican presidential nominations.
The COP nominating convention
opens in Chicago Monday, the
Democrats July 81.
Technically, Humphrey himself
is a candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination as the
'fayorite son" winner of Mime
sota's primary last March.
He urged the elections subc0m-

candidates to disclose the source
of their funds, the manner in which
those funds are expended, and to
