Mysterious Case Of Earl Browder

be credited or discarded. Some,
who have talked with Browder
in recent years have come to-
the conclusion that he Is In
terested only In getting across
his version Of Communist
Party activities. There are In
dications that the Fund for the
Republic prefers the version
that the Communist Party Is.
q political institution rather
than d conspiratorial organiza-
ton. BroWder denies any rela-
tionship to q Communist con-
spiracy, . which Is the language
used by Congress In passing
the Smith Act.
It win be recalled that. due
to q feud inside the Communist
Party in this country. Browder
was ousted in ls45 but he later
went to Moscow, where he re-
ceived a warm welcome. His
perjury case stems from an
allegation that he made q
false statement In connection
with some immigration docu-
nents relating to hts wife's
alleged participation In the
Communist Party. His wife
died within the past year.
The Department OF Justice
could grant Browder Inn
munity from prosecution not
only in this case but for any
possible incrimination ii con-
nection with anything else he
might think would put him In
any jeopardy.
Up to now Browder has re-
fused TO cooperate with his
own Government. He insists
he is not q Communist now
and insists also that from
1929 to l945. when he was
head Of the Communist Party,
there was nothing relating TO
subversion or espionage going
on with his knowledge. 1t is.
indeed, an ,lnsoived mystery.
and some officials are still
hopeful that Browder some
day will come through with
the complete story OF what
did happen.

to do so.
The question naturally arises
whether the Fund for the Re-
public can be sure that it Is
getting complete information
from q man who declines to
testify under oath before his
own Government.
Various attempts have been
made in recent years to have
Browder make q clean breast Of
what he knows. There have
been suggestions that some
charitable foundation grant
money to finance him during
the period when he deyotes his
whole time to refreshing his
recollection OF what happened
when he was In command Of the
Communist Party In this couil-
try. These efforts collapsed be-
cause those to whom Browder
talked became convinced he
was holding back the key parts
Of the story.
BroWder's position Is that
the Communist Party never
engaged in espionage while he
was connected with 1t. Maybe
he was unaware Of that phase
but, II so. he should not object
to telling whom he met at

The spirit Of Geneva has
greatly alleviated the fear Of
q Russian armed attack among
NATO governments and peo-
pies. But--in the opinion Of
one Of NATO'S highest func-
tionaries-the withdrawal Of
this fear has contributed to
bring to the surface riffs Of
long standing that were sup
pressed only by apprehension
Of common peril. Bereft Of q
sense Of imminent external
danger. it becomes apparent
how brittle and artificial some
of the NATO alliances really
are. and how divergent the
real interests Of some Of the
members.
The fear, furthermore, that
the settlement Of accounts be-
tween minor states might pre-
'cipitate a world war Of ui1-
spredictable outcome leads,
when removed. not to q re-
taxation Of such tensions be-
tween states but rather to q
warlike spirit---to choose the
best time for q settlement only
achievable by force. These are
two different results Of the
