view is borne out by the attitude lly. Here and there; only a small percentage communists that ranted ‘and ‘the time when Earl Browder en the party's throne in this and a good many other U.S. who proclaimed ° that : their was designed to save’ the world, HI cooled down their enthusiasm and-later them. Mostof them either withdrew from the party, or, as happen- ed to Browder, were. kicked out of the party. Some wrote articles or books, re- the suffering and ‘horror they had i won heel. As they pointed out, communism im Russia made the poor poorer and the chosen few, particularly the moguls in the Kremlin, richer. Chief reason why Americans don’t “fall” for communism is because they are appreciatively aware of the fredom they have inthe United States. Freedom to exercise their will as they see fit is the crowning glory of the democratic govern- ment in which they live. If they decide on this trade or profession, they don’t want a Kremlin to order them to work in some other trade or profession. If they work harder than their neighbor and produce larger crops or meet with greater success in other callings, they resent being placed on a plane with a laggard and = sharing, in ootiowel criele, the United States “would : ; ; 4 eee neerly 695,000 te wn crops or in earnings, on a collective basis aot ples, traitors or saboteurs work. | “i him. ow es Gem within.” The American wants to be an individ- con as to the number of po- ualist, and he knows individualism is ban- teetind apina, Waiters and ec» lig tel ned in Russia, a police state. eet ce meme old figures of the FBI, are hich repented 14,000 Communit Party ven those who yeara for world embers and the claim of the Commun. | Peace 4s an ideal must be practical in the te thal, for every member, “there are face of world conditions.

Ev- Mr. Odets is mistaken because nobody in the United States believes that the Soviet Union is now making war against this country. Serious-minded Americans, despite their love of peace, are rapidly reaching the conclusion that the course pursued by Russia creates a dangerous condition for the security and freedom of this country. i The people of the United States are conscious that the ruling regime in Mos- cow subjects the people of Russia to de- cisions which are enforced by the weapons of a police state. Not only in Russia, but in adjoining countries under Soviet Administrations, the freedoms of the peo- ple have been restricted for the purpose of the ruling regime. This concentrates power in the hands of a few individuals and could easily pave the way for the beginning of an aggressive war. This possibility is what makes the people of the United States unwilling to jeave their liberties to the mercy of Rus- sian forces. Obviously, if the Russians overrun all Europe and enslave the peo- ples of Western Europe, the . danger to the United States will be increased to the extent that the power ofthe Russian rulers is enhanced. Mr. Odets, according to newspaper reports, drew cheers by declaring that the United States is “ina state of holy ter- ror from coast to coast today.” This is not only a false statement, but repre- sents such an exaggeration that one can hardly excuse it by the fervor of a dramatist in the midst of an’ attack against capitalism, which he describes as “an apocalyptic beast running loose in our world today.” emeimet their adopted country. _ Dewpite this pessimistic optiook, the : revealed no such wholesale sabo- end, considering the situation at the Be, ec rerens lack of sabo- weh of what was attempted was he ork of imported German agents Tether than the disloyal acts of American Hinens AN OLD STATESMAN SHOWS UP weecce epee it is encouraging to find that grand ‘Wh wtateeman Bernard M.
