"LOOKING AHEAD
BY LEN DE CAUX, EDITOR OF THE
C. L. 0. NEWS.
The only serious criticism that can
be leveled against the LaFollette civil
liberties committee is that it didn't
choose the right name and slogan.
It should have called itself the
“Committee to Investigate Un-Atweri-
can Activities.”
For many months now the LaFoll-
ette committee has been carefully and
thoroughly doing the job of investi-
gating and exposing the un-American
activities that menace our democrat-
ic liberties.
Yet a mountebank like Congressman
Dies has been allowed to come along
and promote un-American aciivities
of the worse kind under cover of the
same and slogan that by righis be-
long to the LaFolette committee.
Civil liberties is just a fancy name |
for the rights and privileges which |
most Americans are ready to fight for
if you call them “Americanisn..”
When Dies goes on the radic and |
says he is protecting us against un.|
American activities, 1nost of his lis-|
teners have a vague idea that he is |
preventing the coming in this country
of conditions such as exist under for-
eign despotic governments.
That is to say, they don't want to
be spied upon, bullied, beaten up and
generally bossed around by any kind
of tyrants. They want to be able to
speak, think, worship, join unicns and
vote as they please, and they believe
that the American constitution grants
them these rights.
The LaFollette committee has done
a real job of protecting these Ameri-
can rights. The Dies commiites las
lent every aid and comfort to the
very forces that menace these rights,
Yet because Dies bellows about
fighting un-American activities, mem-
bers of Congress feel they can get
away with giving his committee an-
gressive wing of thg party.
Let any newspaper
in his mind by the publicity about the
Dies committee.
He will recall that Frank Murphy
was smeared with “red” charges just
before elections; that the same kind of
attack was launched against Governor
Olson and his slate in California; that
cabinet members were slandered and
the New Deal administration pictured
as honeycombed with radicals; and
that the committee devoted much of
its time to propaganda against the CIO.
Little or nothing will remain in his
mind about the actual Fascists or oth-
er subversive elements whom the com-
mittee was supposed to investigate.
These main impressions are not ac.
cidental. They are exactly the kind of
impressions which the reactionary in-
meen
|
terests behind the Dies circus intend
reader think | ed to create in the public mind.
back over the main impressions left |
The country badly needs such g
watch-dog to protect it against une
American activities as the LaFollettg
committee has proved to be. Congress
should be urged to vote more funds
60 that its great work can be contin
ued.
But the country certainly don’t need
a licensed reactionary clique to pros
mote un-American activities under the
specious pretext of investigating them,
If the Dies committee is continued,
every member of congress who votes
for it should be called to task. And
all true Americans should constitute
themselves a committee of the whole
to expose and combat the activities of
the most un-American group that has
ever been accorded Congressional sanc-
tion.

Fourteen young men, all of whom were crippled by the 1916 infantile
paralysis epidemic, have opened a multigraphing shop in New York,
where they plan campaign letters, make layouts and do address work.
All are high school graduates, and several have college educations. They
obtained capital for their enterprise by forming an orchestra and playing
for dances.

The LaFollette committee has care-

| lic has about Americanism
other lease of life while they turn
thumbs down on the LaFollette com-
| mittee.
Another idea that the general pub-
is that it
means even handed justice and demo-
cratic procedure.
The LaFollette committee has been
a model of such Americanism, Every
accused person has been carefully sub-
stantiated and the reports of the com-
mittee are as fair and as accurate as
it is humanly possible.
The Dies committee, on the other
hand, has conducted a kind of kan-
garoo court. Labor spies, Fascists and
every kind of crack pot have been
granted a free forum to lie and slan-
der to their heart's content.
Reputable citizens and organizations
fully probed and exposed the un-Am-
erican activities of labor espionage,
viglante violence and the other forces
that would deprive us of our cherish-
ed democratic liberties.
The Dies Committee has made such
a weak pretense of investigating Fas-
cism that it has amounted to a white-
wash which has won the commenda-
tion of the Fascist leaders themselves
Under the pretext of exposing Com-
munism, it has devoted most of its
time to attacking he very persons and
movements that are doing most fo

Actually the whole Dies “investiga-
tion” has been a gigantic and unscru-
pulous stunt designed to further the
political conspiracy of the tory Demo-
crats against the New Deal and pro-
