Freedom of thought is rapidly disappearing from America. Henry Wallace's speeches have been suppressed, his name vilified by the newspape: Professor Harlow Shapley of Harvard has been subjected to a third degree hearing by the Thomas-Rankin Committee. Paul Robeson has been denied access to auditoriums in two American cities. David Lilienthal's appointment to the atomic energy Commission was held up for one month. Charles Bolte, National Chairman of thc American Veteran's Committee, was not permitted to speak before the Texas legislature on veteran's problems. The Progressive Citizens of America at Hunter Colle4g, the American Vet- eran's Committe at Georgetown University, have been denied chartcers The Wagner Act is being destroyed by Congress. Following the ban of American Youth for Democracy chapters at Michigan State College and Wayne University, President Ruthven banned the Michigan Youth for Democratic Action from this campus. WHY? Wallace, who relieves capitalism is here to stay, speaks out f'or Ameriean-Sovict friendship as the only guarantee of world peace. 1ic is called a tcrypto-Coimmunist.' Professor Shapley opposes the Truman doctrine. He is called a Red.' The American Veteran's Committee, the Progressive Citizens of America are denied charters because of their progressive programs. Bolte is considered too liberal' by the Texas legislature. The American Youth for Democracy supports a progressive, constructive pro- gram for all youth. It is called 'Communist Front.' Organized labor, fifteen million strong, which is the bulwark of American democracy, is under similar attacks. A NATIONAL PATTERN We students must understand that all these incidents are inter-related, that the greatest drive American pro-Fascists have ever made has begun, by use of the 'Red scare,' to make every American believe that Communism is the threat to democracy. These pro-Fascists, representing monopoly interests, accuse these progressive citizens and organizations of being Communist-front, because elements of their programs are supported by Communists. This accusation is absurd and vicious. These organizations are not 'fronts' for the Communist Party. They have programs and activities of their own. None of these organizations believe, as we do, that Socialism is the final answer to the problems of the American people in their search for a broader democracy. COMMUNIST PARTICI PATION Of course we support the American Veteran's Committee position on veteran's needs, as we support the Inter-Racial Association's fight for a Fair Employment Practice Commission. In like manner we support the Progressive Citizens of Amer- ica on a foreign policy which includes big-Three Unity, as we support the American Youth for Democracy in their fight for the basic needs of American youth in education, housing, job opportunities. We will support any organization or indi. vidual who is contributing to a better and freer America. But we have our own program and activities, based upon the teachings of historical materialism. .We believe that chronic m eiaployment, cyclical depressions, periodic wars, imperialism, mass poverty and disease are all products of an out noded social system, to wit, canitalism. Not until the people collectively own the basic means to production, the naural resources of the nation, and utilise them for the common good, rather than for individual profit, can these cancers be eliminated. We know that when the great majority of the people understand and accept this principle, this change in the social structure can take place. This concept is consistent with every democratic tenet. The vilification of these groups as Communist Front, or sympathetic to Com- munism, merely because Communists participate in them, would make any Ameri- can, who has any view coincident with ours, a Communist. By this illogic, any indi. vidual who wants world peace, as we do, is a Communist. As for the Federal Bureau of Investigation's accusation that the AYD is merely a Communist recruiting center, we would like to point out that every Communist is a recruiting center, just as every Republican, or Democrat, is a recruiting center for his party. The right to speak freely, to convince others of one's opinions is the inalienable right of every American. THE CAMPUS ISSUE In order that the University contribute to the democratic way of life, it must not only guarantee, but encourage a maximum consideration of conflicting views, It is unthinkable that the bigoted opinions of the Callahan Committee can be the determinant of what students may or may not dtiscuss. Thlis Comr mittee"'s rerat to withhold funds from Michigan Universities that do not accep:its dmliands has made a mockery of the argument that tpolitical pressure' was not a factor in President Ruthven's action here. This political pressure, however, does not excuse President Ruthven's undemo. Cratic method of banting MYDA. He gave them no opportunity to explain their position in an open and impartial hearing. He refused to explain in public, or on freely allotted radio time with MYDA representatives, his action. The entire pro- cedure leaves no doubt that any group attacked by the Callahan Committee may expect similar treatment. WHAT"IARE TH E CN S E QU E NC'E S The attack upon all progressives, the infringement of Academic Freedom, the onslaught in Congress, in the press, against organized labor, the suppression of the Communist minority are all manifestrtions of a trend toward Fascism. Let us remember that Hitler rose to power by book-burnings, by creating a Red hysteria, by destroying the labor movement. We students, with a rich democratic tradition, must lead in the fight against the real enemies of the people. DEMAND THE RE-INSTATEMENT OF MYDA. DEMAND FULL ACADEMIC FREEDOM ok
