The Russian brain behind the Fifth Column move- ment in Europe is Georgi Malenkov, whom many people expect to succeed Stalin as the next Russian dictator. There are reports from Europe indicating that Fifth Column activities are reaching alarming proportions and that the activities are controlled through one chain of command, which makes it possible for the Communist Fifth Column to act with a unity of purpose in its central theme of resistance to the United States. One of the first aims of the Communist Fifth Column ig tg control strat jndustries, such as transportation, communication, m@fils atid agriculture. This will give the Commies a powerful weapon, making it possible to para- lyze Europe when they strike. In the meantime, the Communist-dominated unions are directing their energies toward pressuring govern- ments to end their defense efforts and to resume trade with the Soviet Union. At the same time, they are spread- ing unrest and slowing down the western defense effort, where possible, One of the chief Communist outfits is the World Federation of Trade Unions, which includes many Com- munist-dominated unions which are strong in France and Ttaly and potentially strong in Western Germany and Austria. Using the United Nations Charter, this group was organized in 1945, calling for an international or- ganization of workers. Originally, the British Trade Union’s Congress and the American CIO were members, but in 1949, as a result of a fight over the Marshall Plan Aid to Europe, the British and American Unions broke away from the WFTU and founded a rival organization, the International Fed- eration of Free Trade Unions. The Communist-controlled WFTU claims 80 million members in 64 countries, It has been estimated that about five of the seven million Italian Union members are in Communist-controlled unions. In Western Germany the Communists have been concentrating on the strategic Ruhr Valley. About one-half of the workers in Commun- ist-dominated labor unions in Western Germany are in this key Ruhr Valley area. It is refreshing to note that American and British labor unions realize the true purpose of these Commun- ist-controlled unions, stamping out freedom by spreading Communism over the world. It is important to keep the spotlight of truth on the Communist Fifth Column so that it cannot take advantage of the nationalistic spirit in many countries or the legitimate needs of the working man in efforts to further its own rotten aims, The average individual has more brains than he, or she, chooses to use. When little boys stop eating candy, there will be no candy and no little boys. The country has plenty of five-cents cigars but they are selling for twelve cents. Pot oi ele War or no War, there are Americans whose main in- terest is in the pennant races.
