For more than Is years :
since 1887, actually. the year
Roosevelt attempted to pack the
Supreme Court l have held
an overriding political convic-
ton: One day our nation would
be forced to an ultimate de
cisi0n, it would reject Socialism
or it would capitulate to it: a
house divided against itself can
not stand.
| am Of the further opinion
that that decision will be made
in 1864. And since Socialism, to
my mind, is but a way station
on the road to slavery, and
since Ii b erty is the most
precious possession a person can
have, there seems to me to be
but one personal recourse.
Other things must be put
aside. Whatever civic interests
| have held, whatever have been
my actions in government. and
however sincere, such actions
have. after all, consumed but a
minor portion Of my thought
and my time.
And let me be honest: My eff
forts have been unavailing. the
fight l have been Waging these
past p years has been a losing
fight My country is nearer, to-
day. to the rack of dictatorship
than it was yesterday. And
fear the situation will be worse
tomorrow.
So it is. then, l must put
other things aside; first things
must come first. AS my wit
tells me the crucial battle will
be Waged rext year. SO my con-
science tells me I must do
everything I can to help my side
win that battle. And this I pro
pose to do.
What shall I do, specifically?
don't know.

letter to the committee did not
endorse the March but neither did
it disapprove of it but like all of
the Republican Congressman who
replied except McGregor expressed
concern over the possibility of Vol-

bills.
Langen stated: Permit me to
compliment you for your desire
that this be a peaceful and non
violent demonstration. Inasmuch
as have already expressed my de-
sire that such be the experience,
I think it would be unfortunate
and a detriment to the cause were
the demonstration to be blemished
by violence of any proportion"
Ancher Nielsen, Republican from
Minnesota Second district in his
letter was in the same vein. He did
not endorse the March as such but
noted the emphasis on non-violence
and stated: 1T would be most un-
fortunate, and most damaging to
the cause Of freedom and equality

all interested If it should be any
