I appeared before the Congressional Committee, the highest representation of the American people under Saphina to tell what I knew of activities, which I believe might lead to an attempt to set up a fascist dictatorship. The plan as outlined to me was to form an organization of veterans, to use as a bluff or as a club at least, to intimidate the government and break down our democratic institutions. The upshot of the whole thing was that I was supposed to lead an organization of 500,000 men, which would be able to take over the functions of government. I talked with an investigator for this committee, who came to me with a Saphina on Sunday, November 18th. He told me they had unearthed evidence linking my name with several such veterans organization, as it then seemed to me to be getting serious, I felt it was my duty to tell all I knew of such activities to this committee. My main interest in all this is to preserve our democratic institution. I want to retain the right to vote. Are they right to speak freely and the right to right? If we maintain these basic principles our democracy is safe. No dictatorship can exist with suffrage, freedom of speech and prayer.
