“WHAT YOU ARE.”
America’s greatest basic ideological conflict today
is between two sharply divided groups — those who
believe in and support Americanism against those
who believe in and support Stalinism. Not all Stalin
ists are Communists, but all Stalinists are un-Ameri
can.
Sometimes it is difficult to draw the line of
demarcation. It is difficult—and often unjust to
say of a man, 'Here is a Communist" or "Here is a
Stalinist." Those who should rightfully bear those
labels are usually quite reticent to admit their ideo
logical attachments, so it becomes necessary to identify
them by their actions and their associates.
Four basic types of Stalinists have been defined
and described and we list them so that you may know
these people for what they are.
1. Communists. These are members of the Com
munist Party, whether open or hidden. Customary
Red strategy in a nation not yet taken over by their
totalitarian system, is to have "above-ground, ’ only
10 per cent of the Communist Party membership.
These Communists openly avow their Party member
ship.
Some important Communists in key positions are
allow'ed to have special secret memberships. These
usually meet secretly in what are known as "closed
dells." Many secret Commies avoid flaunting their
Stalinism.
Many important Communists in public ;ife are
permitted to function without formal party mem
bership of any kind for their own protection from
investigations by police and other governmental
agencies.
2. Fellow-Travelers. These fall into two main
groups: First, those, such as described above, who
actually are Communists, but never are registered in
any part of the party machinery; and, second, those
who never join the party at all. because, although
Communists welcome them as bosom buddies, lor
various reasons they do not wish to risk incriminat
ing documentary evidence. The so-called “intellectual
Communists" are generally in this latter class. Fre
quently, when they are of higher caliber in ability
and prestige, they are not welcome as party members
because of their unwillingness and/or inability to ac
cept Communist Party discipline. It is to be re
membered that the conspiratorial Communist Party,
which openly teaches treachery, fraud, duplicity and
sedition as things to be proud of and indispensable
to practical revolutionary organization, does not wel
come men and women of deep integrity, character
and ability.
3. Opportunists. A third and very important type
of Stalinist, although generally transient in the Red
orbit, is the Opportunist. Many left-wing labor and
political leaders will be found in this category. Most*
of these do not believe in Marxism, Leninism or
Stalinism. They join with and work with and for
Communists and fit ther conduct into the pattern of
Stalinist activity, solely for real or fancied reasons of
persdnal gain and temporary advantage. Persons of
this category usually start out by believing that they
can “play with Communists and use them.” They
generally discover that a tired Commie can match
the liveliest and most dishonest politician any day,
in trickery, fraud and sharp practices of all kinds.
4. Dupes. These are numerous and are persons
who follow all or part of the party line in the hope
of accomplishing some particular aspiration. They
are too blind or too thoughtless to perceive Com
munist trickery in front groups behind the mask of
humanitarianism. Communist dupes may well be
compared to the victims of confidence men. All too
frequently, they have the same ideological, economic
or political “get-rich-quick," instinct that makes the
“sucker” or “chump” easy prey to the swindler.
In contrast to the reaction of ordinary Ameri
cans, when they encounter Communists in an organi
zation, Stalinist dupes will involve themselves in com
plicated pseudo-logic to justify representation and
participation for Communists. They will continue, in
the face of facts, to lend their names, funds and
support to organizations sponsored by Communists.
They are apparently incapable of understanding the
basic truth that no Communist ever joins a reform
movement of any kind except to twist it to the Party
line, or wreck it.
There they are — four of a kind. Every one of
these people is dangerous to your own liberties and
way of life — more so than enemy troops, because
these, at least are uniformed and may be readily
distinguished.
Precious few of them will admit their activities
and will deny vehemently that their motives and
actions are anything but the purest. But do not
be taken in by glib denials and fast patter. Know
them by their actions — not their words.
A long time ago, a wise old man said, “What you
are shouts so loud, I cannot hear what you say.”
Chances are he was not referring to Communists, but
the words seem singularly appropriate today.
The Washington
Merry-Go-Round
(Continued from Page One)
been reared on the Communist
doctrine, just as the Pilgrim
fathers were reared on the doc
trine handed down by the crown
and the church hierarchy, it’s
apparent that the Russian people
also have a yearning to know
more about the outside world, to
establish their own standards of
freedom.
This is especially true in the
satellite countries which were
forced, against their will, to come
under the Iron Curtain.
All signs indicate that is equal
ly true of the people inside Rus
sia though their struggle is more
difficult .
It should never be forgotten
that of the heterogeneous nation
ality groups welded together un
der the union of Socialist Soviet
Republics, 55 per cent are non
Russian. They are Ukrainians,
Mongols, Turkomen, Kirghiz, Ar
menians and white Russians, rfiost
of them hungry for their own na
tionalistic identity. They are like
the far-flung Austro-Hungarian
empire whose different ethnic
groups fell to pieces in 1918.
Destroying a Spectre
This surge for freedom inside
the polyglot Russian empire has
taken several forms. There have
been revolts among the peasants.
There are reported to be about
I5,U30,000 political- prisoneip in
concentration camps. Unwilling
ness on the part of University of
Moscow students to go along with
the Soviet program has even been
reported in the Moscow press.
Finally, refugees from behind
the Iron Curtain are coming out
in steady streams of about 1,000
month, not unlike the exodus of
%the Pilgrim fathers seeking a new
life in a new world. And if they
could be guided to new areas in
Africa and South America under
the point 4 program, they too
might become pioneers for polit
ical and religious freedom and
serve as a magnet to attract
others and thus break down the
Iron Curtain.
In fact some observers in West
Germany last summer told me
that most of the Red army in
East Germany would desert their
Moscow masters if given a chance
to resettle on farms in Africa and
South America. Once you cut the
ground out from under the oc
cupying army in East Germany,
you of course destroy the thing
western Europe fears most—the
dread spectre of 30 Red divisions
crossing the Rhrine and moving
on the English Channel.
Pioneers of Friendship

Coast Guard Certifies
Burford's Taku as
Passenger Vessel
The passenger vessel Taku,
owned by Jack Burford, has been
Inspected and certified by the
U. S. Coast Guard, headquarters
said here today. The Taku, a 55
foot, .. 45 gross-ton vessel with 200
diesel horse power is permitted to
carry 24 daytime passengers and
ten on 24-hour excursions.
She is certified to operate in
limited coastwise waters between
Cape Spencer and Prince Rupert,
B. C.
The Taku is the former Salva
tion Army boat the William
S. Booth and the Salvation Army
now has Burford’s Donjac re
named William S. Booth.
descendants of more recent Pil
grims, participated in a new cru
sade for freedom to raise money
to operate Radio Free Europe and
to send freedom balloons across
the Iron Curtain bearing messages
of hope and friendship to the cap
tive people on the other side.
The leaders of this ' New Eng
land crusade for freedom do not
all bear names similar to those of
the Pilgrim fathers. Their names
range from John Delmonte, the
Labor Commissioner, to Rubin
Gryzmish, the cigar manufact
urer; from George Swartz to Paul
Clark of the John Hancock Life
Insurance Company; from Mayor
John Hynes to Salvator Camelio
of the CIO; from Thomas Pappas
and John Shea to Harold Hodg
kinson of Filene’s Department
Store.
Yet they are all pioneers in a
new realization that no matter
how much money we spend on
arms, we cannot prevent war until
we win friends behind the Iron i
Curtain. We can go on paying
higher and higher taxes; we can
go on sending more and more
money to Europe, but the Euro
pean cancer will continue just as
l dangerous until the heart is cut
out. And that heart is the bar
rier between the free peoples of
the West and the captive peoples
of the East. Until the Iron Cur
tain is broken down by Radio
Free Europe, by freedom balloon
messages, by the Voice of- Amer
ica, and by encouraging people
to-people friendship there will
continue to be danger of war.
But this time may be approach
ing when more and more Pilgrims
from behind the Iron Curtain will
try to break away from Soviet
darkness, as did the Pilgrim fath
ers fiom English darkness 300
years ago. Such a Pilgrimage, if
it develops major proportions, will
be something to be truly thankful
for.

Red Cross Man Gives
Report on Kansas
City flood Relief
Tom Carpenter, Red Cross field
representative from the San Fran
cisco office, spoke at a regular Ki
wanis luncheon last Wednesday.
He said that 10 cents of every
Red Cross dollar went to the Kan
sas City flood disaster this year.
More than eleven and a half mil
lion dollars were spent.
Anticipating the flood Red Cross
workers had moved in and set up
15 shelters in schools housing 12,
000 and fed them during the peak
of the disaster. The Red Cross
then followed up with a rehabil
itation program^ Carpenter ex
plained. He estimated that 80 per
cent of the flood victims were
given some aid by the Rod Crss.
Dr. Henry Harris reported that
$726 had been collected for the
Alaska Tubeieulosis Association
by the membership.
Stanley Baskin was appointed
chairman of a committee to look
into incorporating the club.

Q. What initials are properly used for marking a newly-married
j couple’s silverware?
A. Formerly, only the bride's pre-marriage initials were used. But
now it is recognized as more practical and sensible to mark everything
with her futurp initials. Thus, the silver of Mary Jones who has mar
ried William Smith, is marked with the initials “M. J. S.”
Q. Is it considerel proper to provide paper plates at social gather
ings?
A. Only at large parties where the hostess is unable to provide
enough china plates — and, of course, at picnics.
