Views And Comment
Perhaps the Communistic leaders in the United States in making
statements that they would, in case of war, uphold the Communist
cause, may have at last created something that should have been
done long ago. Legislation outlawing the Communist party may be
pushed through as a result of the American party’s announcement
that Communist members won't fight for the United States in case
we would have a conflict with Russia. It is said that President
Truman and his associates, who have always opposed this kind of
legislation, may change in view of the shift in the Communist party
