The American Communist Par
ty, for example, lias been obliged
to turn intellectual somersaults
so often in following faithfully
the strategic and tactical chang
es in Soviet foreign polity that
only those Who are ignorant of
its actions can regard it as any
thing hut a Soviet fifth column,
the members of which are loyal
to the Soviet Union, not to the
United States, ami are prepared
to support the Soviet Union a
gainst the United States even
in case of war. T.ie American
Communists are |ioteiitial trait- |
ms, and would be ashamed if
.they were not. Their somersaults
from July 19:19 to October 1945
are recorded in their official or-'

tion of the National Committee,
Communist Party, ( idled States
of America: “The war that has
broken out ip Europe is the sec
ond imperialist war. * This
war, therefore, cannot he sup
po. ted by the workers. Il is not
a war against fascism * * not
a war with any of the character
of just a war. not a war that
workers can or .should support.
II is a war between rival im|H*r
iaLsnis for world domination.
The workers must he against
Ibis war. * * *
We must, keep two guiding
thoughts in mind; first, allow
no single measure to he taken
for purposes of giving American
help to either side of the imper
ialist conflict; second, find the ■
most effective means of keeping
out of the war. * '■‘■These two
guiding thoughts are insepar
able."

‘‘The Communist Party opposes
tin- ailministralion’s plan to sp
end K.5,000,000.000 next year to
strengthen th,. Navy, Army, ami
Air Forces. Tin* reason for this
opposition is that the present
government is following the pol
icy of territorial aggrandizement
which leads straight toward war,
with all the attendant misery,
poverty, enslavement, and death j
for the workers anil other toil

May 21 ,1949—Foster, speech
in Philadelphia on May 17: "If
Uritish-FipirV i-Anierican imper
ialism should win the present
war the results would he even

* * * The Allied cause is not
a lesser evil in comparison to
Hitler’s. * * * Nor would entry
of the United States into tin
war democratize it and make it
a real fight for freedom, * * »
Its real war aims would be to
grab off all possible territories
for itself * * *to transform tin
imperialist war into a general
war against the Soviet Union."
January 2:5. 1941—Statement
of the National Committee of
the Communist Party: "Defeat

out and stay out of the war.
Here are th,. facts: This bill
would give the President unlim
ited authority to enter into for
eign entanglements .and secret
alliances. This bill would cancel
the Hill of Kiglits ail,) the Con

an unl'.enrahlc burden of new
taxes on the backs of American
workers, farmers, professionals,
and small business people.”
April 29, 1941—Manifesto of
the National Committee of the
Communist Party:
•‘Tin* imperialists have made

keep out of too imperialist war;
no convo.vs, no AKF; the Yanks
are not coming; dissolve the All*

June 2:5, 1011—Statement of
the Communist Party (signed by
Foster am! Minor) :
“The Soviet Government is
now waging a just struggle for

June OO, 1011—Manifesto of
the Nil iotial Committee of the
Communist Party:
-•‘The people of America are
beginning to realize that to de

“The chief guaranty for the
successful realization of this
program is the struggle for the

class and the unity of the Allt

Stop all Government attacks

ALEUTIAN MAIL UNDER
TOW; ALL ARE SAVED
The Aleutian Mail, mule)- Cap
tain J. if. Petrich. owner, is re
ported aground on the southern
most tip of Cnimak Island a.t
Arch Point.
The trip was made to Atka,
t|;e most westward point of the
run and he was reported here
in Seward as due in Dutch Har
bor at I.tut A.M. on Sunday.
The n<\( report showed him
beached at Arch Point with the
Coast Cuard from Ketchikan
going to the position given.
The Aleutian Mail was. at that
time, in no immediate danger.
It. was reported here also that,
all the crew and passengers had
gotten ashore and were await
ing rescue while another report
stated the vessel had been re
floated.
I.ATKK KKPOKTK—
The Coast Guard Ship Cedar
arrived on the scene and took
■t’f lie* 12 persons aboard her.
Whether she was hauled off the
bear:! or iioated off a; high tide
was not stated.
In the meantime it power bar
ge' under army command ap
proached the scene and while
■eme distance away found her
•;e.i in trouble, with the result
that the C.G.S. Cedar went to
Cm rescue, removing 12 persons
aboard tii.u .r m>\. ptti|''-odi g
to Kami Point with the Aleutian
Mail in toiw.
FINAL I! FLOUT —
The PST lilli? an Army bar
ge was proceeding west. \vh«m
: lie received word of the Aleu
tian's peril whereupon the barge
was headed for the grounded
ship and alter proceeding toward
her for a time ran on a rock.
_ The barge is in no immediate
danger and the eight men aboard
can read) shore easily in the
dory which is on board.
The CGS Cedar now has the
Aleutian Mail in tow and she
will be left at Sand Point, which
is about 25 miles from where
t.he mail boat went agroung.
The Cedar will leave immedia
tely for the barge to give what
aid is necessary.
Capt. Petrieh of the Aleutian
•Mail stated that radar trouble
developed shortly after leaving
Seldovia on the outward run ancj
whether parts necessary were ob
tained in Kodiak was not stated
The condition of the Mail boat
is not bad; one of the screws is
bent, and the rudder damaged.
'1 he Aleutian Mail is due out
side in March antj this accident
will probably hasten her trip out
Attention is called to the ex
cellent work done by Charles
Farrell of Unalaska in reporting
ad rebroadcasting the messages
ship to shore. Me was at it all
day Monday and when things
quieted down a little his voice
resembled that of Andy Devine.
Me really did goo(j work.
There were no casualties.
Newscasts in the states follow
ed the usual pattern end all that
was needed was an attack by
Chinese pirtes to finish off a
good stroy.
