N. Y. AMERICAN DEMOCRACY MUST NOT COMMIT SUICIDE A STATEMENT ISSUED TO THE PRESS ON MARCH ii, 1947 By EUGENE DENNIS The American people, the followers of the late President Roosevelt and especially the labor movement were shocked at the demand of Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach that the Communist Party be outlawed. In asking this, Secretary Schwellenbach openly joined forces with the ultra- reactionary G.O.P. and its Parnell-Thomas-Rankin Un-American Conunittee. ■ It is significant that Schwellenbach's un-American declaration was made before the G.O.P.-dominated House Labor Committee, which is trying to push through legislation designed to cripple and destroy the trade unions. Therefore it was not accidental, that the Secretary of Labor coupled his call for repressive action against the Communist Party with endorsing the G.O.P. proposal to amend the Wagner Act. In this connection, all Americans, especially all trade unionists and their organizations, should remember that in every country in which ^e Com munist Party was outlawed the free trade unions and the liberties of all sections of the common people were also suppressed. This was so in Hitler Germany, in fascist-militarist Japan and in Italy under Mussolini. It is so today in Franco Spain and fascist Greece. We American Communists, for nearly three decades, have worked in the best interests of the American people, in the best traditions of our country, as the staunchest fighters for democracy, process and peace. We showed in exemplary fashion our patriotism and devotion to our country s national interest in the great war against fascism. And today we are in the forefront of the struggle to curb the trusts and realize fully the anti-fascist aims for which the peoples fought-the-w.ar! Because of this, the Wall Street trusts and cartelists are engineering the current anti-labor and anti-Communist attacks, so that they can, with greater arrogance, carry on their offensive against the American,,people and the peace of the world. They are trying to do to our people and to all countries what the German fascists did under Hitler. To defend their own liberties and the Bill of Rights, the labor and people's 'movements of our great country must speak out and act. In their own inter- 291 292 ' POLITICAL AFFAIRS ests, they must defeat the anti-Communist conspiracy of the G.O.P. and the trusts, in which Mr. Schwellenbach and Attorney-General Clark collaborate. The pro-fascist demand for the illegalization of the Communist Party can be defeated by the aroused and united action of labor and the people. For 1947 is not 1933, when Hitler came to power. The American people have learned something about Hitler's anti-Communist technique in the fires of the anti-Axis war. Insofar as the Democratic Party and the Truman administration are con cerned, they seem to have forgotten what happened to them in the 1946 elections, when they tried to compete with the G.O.P. reactionaries in Red baiting. They seem to have forgotten what happened in the Presidential elections of 1920 when the Democrats did the bidding of the reactionary open-shoppers of that day by organizing Red scares and Palmer raids. While the Truman adipinistration may be prepared to commit political suicide by joining with the Hoovers and Tafts in abridging the democratic rights of labor and the Communists—the supporters of F.D.R.'s policies, the mass of the American people, are not. But time grows short. Every American who cherishes democracy must now actively defend it. Every democrat and progressive must protest and defeat any and all efforts to violate the Constitution and Bill of Rights through the enactment of undemocratic and repressive legislation, whether directed against the Communist Party or the trade unions. Democracy, like peace, is indivisible. It must be defended for labor and the Communists if it is to be preserved for all the people. * CABLEGRAM TO SECRETARY OF STATE MARSHALL By EUGENE DENNIS The following cablegram was sent on March i6 to Secretary of State George C. Marshall by Eugene Dennis, General Secretary of the Communist Party of the United States of America: % Hon. George C. Marshall, Secretary of State, U.SA., c/o United States Embassy, Moscow, U.S.SJI. Dear Mr. Secretary: I have read with deep interest the definition of democracy which you presented in behalf of the American government to the Council of Foreign Ministers on March 14. Whatever one may think about applying those democratic rights to all persons in Germany, I believe those rights must be guaranteed for the American people, regardless of race, national origin, creed or political affili ation. I wish to call to your attention that Representative J. Parnell Thomas, Chairman of the House Committee on Un-American Activities, announced on March 15 that his Committee will open hearings March 24 on HR 1884, HR 2122 and other bills designed to abridge the constitutional rights of Communists and to outlaw the American Communist Party. The proposed legislation which will be considered by the above-mentioned House Committee hearings, would deny the rightV enunciated by you, of "freely constituted political parties" to participate "in a free and competitive election system." It would also nullify "the uniformly effective guarantee of freedom of press and radio," in all paTls of "the United'S^tates. Among those who will testify at the House Committee hearings, starting March 24, as announced by Representative Thomas, will be Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach. Mr. Schwellenbach has recommended that Congress shall pass legislation banning the Communist Party and barring it from participating in federal elections. 394 POLITICAL AFFAIRS XiCgislation is also pending both in the House Committee on Un-American Activities and the House and Senate Labor Committees abridging the "uni formly effective guarantee of the rights of free trade unions" in all parts of the United States. • Included in this legislation is the proposal that patriotic American citizens, who are Communists, or who are suspected of being Communists, shall be barred from employment in government and industry, membership in trade unions and denied the right to hold elective office in trade unions. This, too, is in. violation of your statement that: "To us a society is not free if law- abiding citizens live in fear of being denied the right to work or deprived of life, liberty and the pursuit of happihess." I therefore respectfully urge that you authorize the State Department representatives in Washington to submit as testimony before the House Committee hearings, scheduled to open March 24, your definition of de mocracy.

    100 Things You Should Know About Communism in the U. S. A. Forty years ago, Communism was just a plot in the minds of a very few peculiar people. Today, Communism is a world force governing millions of the human race and threatening to govern all of it. Who are the Communists? How do they work? What do they want? What would they do to you? For the past IO years your committee has studied these and other questions and now some positive answers can be made. Some answers will shock the citizen who has not examined Com- munism closely. Most answers will infuriate the Communists. These answers are given in five booklets, as follows: 1. One Hundred Things You Should Know About Commu- nism in the U. S. A. 2. One Hundred Things You Should Know About .Commu- nism in Religion. 3. One Hundred Things You Should Know About Commu- nism in Education. 4. One Hundred Things You Should Know About Commu- nism in Labor. 5. One Hundred Things You Should Know About Commu- nism in Government. These booklets are intended to help you know a Communist when you hear him speak and when you see him work. If you ever find yourself in open debate with a Communist the facts here given can be used to destroy his arguments completely and expose him as he is for all to see. Every citizen owes himself and his family the truth about Com- munism because the world today is faced with a single choice: To go Communist or not to go Communist.

BELKNAP* Those members of Congress who resisted the creation of the national investigative agency that became the FBI, according to Athan Theoharis, feared establishing a political police force, comparable to the ones that had terrorized Napoleonic France and tsarist Russia.1 The way to accomplish their objective, they believed, was by restricting any organization Congress might create to detecting and prosecuting crimes against the United States. But would such a limitation have made the FBI any less of a threat to civil liberties than it became under the leadership of Director J. Edgar Hoover?2 For an answer to that question one need look no further than the case of Dennis v. United States.3 That assault on the First Amendment provides a negative answer to the question of whether restricting a national police agency to the investigation of federal crimes would indeed protect American civil liberties from the threat posed by a political police force.

  • Howard Fast, 1956 and American Communism PHILLIP DEERY* Victoria University, Melbourne
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Victoria University Eprints Repository 1 Finding his Kronstadt: Howard Fast, 1956 and American Communism PHILLIP DEERY* Victoria University, Melbourne The scholarship on the impact on communists of Khrushchev’s “secret speech” to the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1956 is limited. Generally it is located within broader studies of organisational upheavals and ideological debates at the leadership level of communist parties. Rarely has there been analysis of the reverberations at the individual level. Consistent with Barrett’s pioneering approach, this paper seeks to incorporate the personal into the political, and inject a subjective dimension into the familiar top-down narrative of American communism. It will do this by focusing on the motivations, reactions and consequences of the defection of one Party member, the writer Howard Fast. It will thereby illuminate the story of personal anguish experienced by thousands in the wake of Khrushchev’s revelations about Stalin. The Defection On 1 February 1957, the front-page of the New York Times (NYT) carried a story that reverberated across the nation and, thereafter, the world. It began: “Howard Fast said yesterday that he had dissociated himself from the American Communist party and no longer considered himself a communist”.1 The NYT article was carried by scores of local, state and national newspapers across the country. Why was this story such a scoop and why was it given
