On February 49, 1916, the last remaining Amerasa
incident against Lieutenant Roth quashed motion
of the Department of Justice.
The of the Amerasia disclosures, therefore,
arrests three releases without Indictment ne OF
ST. 5OO another fine of $780, and indictment quashed
Somewhere high in the Government powerful forces had
succeeded in smotherng from national view and public
discussion the whole shocking story of 700 secret docu
mens stolen from the sensitive departments in Washing
ton for reproduction in a Communist magazine in New
York
To date only the high lights these IL years
sonabe betrayal Washington have been sketched the
public record Some day. when all the records be
smined the whole frghu story of New Deal treachery,
sabotage and espionage will be unfoded for public ap
prasal.
That story will tell exactly how many Communists and
fellow travellers found employment in the Federal bureaus
after 1888 1t will tell who, in 945 lifted the ban against
enlisting avoed Communists in the United States military
services, and why have alleged by Browder
$4,000 Communists in the armed services 1t will explain
why during and after the war, known Communists and
sympahzers often found themselves in pivotal strategic
posts in the State Department.
The broad outlines of the story already at hand
Lee Pressman has filled in important between 1898
and 1898. The Amerasia supplies another vital link
between l945 and 1850.
1t is now crystal clear that the intration SO great
that every chance of fragrant Communist intrigue
and espionage Washington since 1888 somehow has been
shielded and smothered by det mined White House inter
venton On every hand full and complete OF
communism the Federal has been obsruct
ed and frustrated from 1893 down the hour
Mr. Speaker, the evidence outlines picture with
many dark shadow still unexpored But the evidence is
complete that the Communists have nhtrated of
the great political parties This admission is reported in
review of the Un-Amercan Activities Committee
The Honorable Martin Dies former chairman of the Un
American Activities Committee, threatened by Mr.
Roosevelt himself
At a conference between the President and Mr. Dies
in 1888 the White House the President warned Mr. Dies
that the Democratic Party could not win if the Un-Amer
Activities Committee Investigated the Communists in
the CO. Such investigation, said the President would
the CIO against the party and said he:
Without their support the Democratic Party would
be defeated.
Then after ridcung Dies for seeing things under the
bed the President said:
There is nothing wrong with Communists Some of
the best friends have got Communist
Perhaps the is far to seek President who
found Joe Stain "a decent fellow" in 194S hardly could
be expected to become really indignant and ncensed that
foreign power with propaganda machine "at least
equal to that of the United States Marines actually had
penetrated every department of his government.
Finally Norman Thomas and Earl Browder have Sc
that the Socialists and the Communists have
cured most of their through the Democratic Party
They virtually dissolved the Socialist and Communist
once great Jefersonan Democratic Party. Thomas and
Browder write with satisfaction and say in effect that:
Our work is done. We satisfied. Our followers
numbering about 100000 in the New Deal Denc.
cratic Communist Party-the party of the future
But a surge of robust patriotism sweeps America to-
day. Our people want houseclesnng in Washington
They demand vigorous action out the
themselves must crusade and make manifest their will
