branch to force Britain to aban-

4. He urged the voters to decide
the 1854 elections on the basis of
McCarthyism VS.. communism.
S. He further called on the vot-
ers to turn out of Office those in
power who refuse to accept his
foreign policy as that of the United
States.
Senator Mccarthy launched his
attack on his own party in these
comparatively gentle terms:
"A few days ago I read that
President Eisenhower expressed
the hope that by election time in
1854, the subject of communism
would be a dead and forgotten
ISSUE" Senator Mccarthy said.
THE raw, harsh, unpleasant fact
is that communism is an issue and
will be an issue in 1854"
The Democrats, he said, have
been proclaiming McCarthyism an
issue.
In q woy, guess il is, because my
position as chormon Of the Investigating
Committee where | con continue to ex-
pose and dig out Communists depends
upon Republican Senotors being retoined
in office.
This appeared to be q direct slap
at the party leadership, which has
been trying throughout the White
affair to avoid spreading the notion
that "a vote for Republicans is a
vote for McCarthyism."
Then Senator Mccarthy focused
his attention on batting averages"
In his view, the magnitude of a
persons batting average is in direct
proportion to that persons agree
ment with Senator McCarthy's
aims. Truman Democrats, of
course, bat zero.
do those in control of your
party" Senator Mccarthy asked,
have sufficient intelligence and
courage so that their batting aver
age is high?"
There is no comparison between
the overall batting averages of
the Republican Party and the
Truman Democrat" Party, Sen
ator Mccarthy said. But there
are a few cases where the Repub-
lican batting average is zero.
For example, we still hove John Potion
Doyies on the poyroIl otter eleven months
of the Eisenhower odministrotion. And
who is John Patton Dovies?
Mr.. Davies at present is coun-
Selor of the Embassy atLima, Peru
He has been a major target of
Senator Mccarthy, who last Tues
day characterized him as part
and parcel of the old Acheson-
baltimore Vincent : White Hiss
group who did so much toward
delivering our Chinese friends into
Communist hands"
According to Senator Mccarthy
Mr.. Davies twas unanimously re-
ferred by the McCarran COM
mittee to the Justice Department
for indictment because he lied
under oath -" " Why, the Senator
asked, is this man still high Off
cial in our Government?
He did not answer the question
The answer is that no indictment
for perjury or for any other Of
Tense ever was returned against
Mr.. Davies; that he was cleared by
a loyalty board (headed by Re-
publican), and that no sound legal
reason has appeared to justify his
removal from the rolls of the For
eign Service.
This was all prologue to the
declaration of war. Speaking Of
the estimated 600 (Senator Nc
Carthy fixed the figure at 900)
Americans believed to be held IL
legally by the Chinese Communists,
the Senator called on American
public opinion to do something
about our position UiS-G-uis Red
China.
Whot con we do about it? We con
deoI q deoth blow to the wor-mokine
power Of Communist Chino. We con,
without firing q single shot, force them
to open their filthy Communist dungeons
ond release every American. We con
blockade the coost Of Chino without using
single ship, a single soiIor or single
gun.
We con do this by merely soying TO
our allies and alleged oIIies: "lf you
continue to ship to Red Chino while they
ore imprisoning ond torturine Amerieon
men, you will get not one cent Of Amen-
con money"
How con you people in my rodlo and
televison audience see thot this is done?
You con soy to those whom you hove
elected to man the wotch- towers Of this
Notion. Democrat and Republican oIike
you will be token down from those
woteh-towers if you continue to take
money from my poy check todoy ond send
it to ony of those allies who ore in turn
