It has not been fer lack of power, nor because of indifference or Blindness to peril, that this Nation has not taken stronger measures inst the “Reds” before. The chief reasons have been two: (1) Willingness to ran many risks rather than the one of seeming te abandon @ fundamental American principle by curtailing rights of free assembly and free epeech. (2) Knowledge that @ too conspicaonsty repressive policy toward extremes of radicalism tends to spread them by giving tiem two * gs on which they thrive: publicity and chance to raise the ory of “persecution”! ¥ “ef “ As regards the second of these reasons, there is « point at which “it ceases to have weight, Sporadic anarchy, ofa type with which the country has long been familiar, may flare ap here and there end burn ie itoelf out without threatening more trouble than the local police can handle.
