Conspirators Gain Tithe Ever since 1942 ---,July, as we remember — when, by reason

Of information some of which was provided the Department of justice by the Anti-Nazi League, a considerable number of persons were indicted on charges of conspiring to undormine the morale of the armed forces of the United States, we have eagerly scanned the news from Washington to see what was going on.

Nothing was going on. On the surface, that is, despite the of-ficial indictments. Come December, as the locution is around Times Solvate, we began to think nobody cared. Once in a while we asked if anybody really cared. But like Zero Mosters musical interlude on the open mind, some said yes and some said no, -

The furrows on our brow increased. and no did the distance be-tween the time of the presentment of the information and a trial date. We thought up sharp editorials directed toward the Attorney General in his professional capacity — and tore them up. Then we thought up some more and stronger ones, and did not write them. ;Then we thought up a really strong one, and wrote it and were just about — Heaven suppress our hasty conclusions? — to print it when we read that these charges now are to be changed to "en-gaging in a Nazi conspiracy."

Now we are only fearful lest these defendants be not tried on the new charges until the effect of their conspiracy may have had time to.breed a further and wider plot. The question is not only of what they shalt be accused — but when shall they be tried?

Democratic Dynamite John Roy CadSon's "Under Cover," which we are glad to see

running serially in the New York Post, is a landmark in the war against Nazism at holne.

A remarkably thorough job of "reviewing" this particular book has been done by its enemies — nt>tably CoI McCormick of the Chicago 'tribune and his fellow-publisher, Mr. Frank E. Gannett, and their numerous friends, who have engaged in a major effort (perhaps we should say "conspiracy") to keep "Under Cover" from the American people. But, as Time Magagine has pointed out under a heading, "How to Sell a Book," the direct result of the McCor-mick-Gannett effort has been to boost "Under Cover' into a Na. I position as current non-fiction best-seller.

Mr. Carbon's book is the most comprehensive expose so far published of the dangerous "nationalist," pro-totalitarian, anti-democratic 'agitators who operate in America. The book is made more interesting by style, an autoradiographical account of the nightmare voyage of Mr. Carbon through places and with people whom the uninitiated may be prone to regard as dream-like, but of whose reality the reader becomes so alarmingly aware that it is to be hoped he will want to do something about these evils.

Mr. Carlson has told adequately, and on the whole accurately, how the petty politicians and agitators, whose doings he reports, have served the fifth column. From this point of view, the book is complete. Our chief criticism occurs when an occasional excursion is made into the field of partisan politics outside the Fish-I loffman-Reynolds-Nye axis. The doings of those politicians and their co-horts are adequately reported; but it is hardly fair to list in a spe-cial "Congressional index," all elected officials whose names hap-pen to stray into the files of some subversive agency. Thus, while Gerald Nye gets what is obviously coming to him, why does the writer include in such a fist, the name of Cong. James M. Curley, of Massachusetts, whose conspicuously vigorous support of the President's foreign policies during the last half dozen years was a major factor in finally securing public support for these _policies in Mr. Curley's home state? It might be suggested that it would have been more in order to include the name of Senator Lodge, who as early as 1932, wrote a book in which he referred to Lawrence Den-nis as a good authority on foreign relations.

The book generally displays a high standard of accuracy, and the fact that those threatening libel suits against its publishers have done no worse than threaten, is adequate testimony as to the author's facts. The book is interestingly in the tradition of "1 Find Treason" by Richard Rollins it; 1941, "Passport to Treason," by Allen Hynd, and "Sabotage" by Michael Sayers and Albert E. Kahn. League members will find it familiar material but freshly presented.

It is our hope that the impetus "Under Cover" has given to the whole problem of dealing with the fifth column may be used as a sound foundation for expanding and strengthening the activi-ties of all pro-democratic leaders and organizations in America, the Friends of .Democracy, who sponsored the book, among others, The book is an accurate diagnosis. The operation has still to be performed,

The ANTI-NAZI LEAGUE and reader's of the BULLETIN have lost another colleague to the for-eign -front. On the home front Edward W. Wright was always in there pitehing against Hitler and his kind. Now he is a member of the armed forces. This brings our honor roll to eleven.

suet before he left, the staff staged an impromptu patty for him, in which his "dossier' was thoroughly ,.xplored and the in-veatigation department proved it-self unflagging in its wider cover work. The best wishes of every member of our staff, and, we are sure, of our readers go with him.

Mr. Wright, before coming to the Anti-Nazi League, was Presi-dent of the Brooklyn Young Republicans' club, manager of the Brooklyn City Charter campaign; membership Secretary of the Citi-zens' Union, and randrinemi of the Board of Governors of the Brook-lyn Citizens' League. He was a lecturer and writer constantly in demand. We wish him good going —and a better and speedy return.

Argentina Suppresses Book Bottling Hitler

Free-Book, an anti-Nazi publish-ing house, says, in a story in the New York Times, that the black book which it published last spring had been barred by the Argentine Government.

The book was said to have bean compiled jointly by fifty-she anti-Nazi European writers. It de-'scribed the "crimes perpetrated by the Nazis in the European coun-tries enslaved by Hitler."

"In the whole of America," the publishing house said, "Argentina is the only country that does not permit the sale of this book. The work is an affective contribution to the struggle against the Axis."

ARMY BARS FASCIST SHEA FROM THREE DEFENSE AHEM

[Continued from page 1) -

136013+1W a negotiated peace which woad compel us to continue the Mind behavior which Ied to the rape of Poland, the assault on Eng-land, the science of Norway, the massacre of Czecho-Slovakia and the destruction of most of Europe, wide areas in Asia, and even large parts of Africa. Perhaps Mr. May-er {whose anti-Semitism was de-spite the protest of the Anti-Nall League, given space in the Satur-day Evening Pest) is ao overjoyed at the prospect of several million more of the people he so denounced being enslaved, despoiled and- mur-dered that he wants us NOW to negotiate the peace that will insare a repetition of these disaster's,

It sheald not be forgotten that the proponents of a negotiated peace do not in a single instance state soy terms of negotiation. They do not want the horrid apec-tette of terms designed to prevent any resurgence of fascism. They fear democracy as they fear nth- ' fag else. They are, wittingly in some instances — unwittingly M others — effective agents of the Nazi regime, the fascismo that gees with castor oil sad the stilet-to, and the Bushido that fosters brutality and rapine for the samu-rai, which is the Japanese equiva-lent of the Nazi elite. For, to use one of Mr. Mayer's favorite rhe-torical cliches, 'any fool" {includ-ing Mr. Mayer) knows that terms which deprive the enemy of his power to threaten the physical, eco-nomic and spiritual peace of the hest of the world, are acceptable neither to the enemy nor these who In America today stand for a nego-tiated peace.

- Earlier in the same week Burton E. Wheeler was pounding away at the Commander-in-chief of the United States Army to "define un-conditional surrender, bring about

'peace in Europe and establish a democracy through that war-torn continent" In other words what

Mr. Wheeler wanted was a good old fascist "peace" — which is not "dichotomous" with an uncondition-al surrender at all; that is, IL deem not stern from the tame root.

Defeatists Spreads

There is in this country a vide-Bored and important "Pailttetalkea Movement " Parts of which, lilac

°Wry,

are based on the theory that war is not at all nice; or like Stuart Chase's tolotnn in the Progressive, that even if we are beating Hitler back in Italy, and shoving Mussolini along with him, while the Russians, with our help, are beating him back in.,,Rus-sia, and even if we are daily edg-ing up to within easy bombing dis-tance of Tilde, we are still losing the war because — well just be-cause we can't win It and we may as well lace that fact

All have a certain numerical fol-lowing. The Axis propagandists know that usually there is some issue upon which the united pur-pose of any people can be de-stroyed. 'Their technique is to fin-ance, foster and encourage any movement which can create anta-gonism to the government charged with the responsibnity of conduct-ing the war. And the speetacle of more than a dozen such movements, each with its own divisional dyna-mite, racial, economic, political, moral tossing their own brand of explosive into the center of our war effort — all crying out for an im-mediate negotiated peace — nego-tiated, that is, in favor of the Axis, small weeder that Mr. Chase is In-clined to be pessimistic. Few men in this country are more familiar with Nazi propaganda than Mr. William L. Shiner, who remarked recently in the Herald-Tribunes

"While the Nazi command may-have given np hope of an out-right victory, it certainly has not abandoned hope of gaining e stalemate and thus at negotiated peace."

Civic Bodies to Aid Court Action

Following the initial protest by the Anti-Nazi league against the policy of deliberate racial discrim-ination admitted lir Metropolitan Life. in its Stupresant Town hors-ing project, sentiment against New York Cities participation in the plan has reached formidable pro-portioas. The AntiNazi League's suit to break the contract %between the insert' ce company and the City is still pending in the courts,

Civic Bodice Act On August 16, a taxpayers' ac-

tion, sponsored by many leading civic organiZations

' was filed in

Supreme Court by Eliot D. Pratt. Included among the sponsoring groups are the ,Citizens' Housing 'Connell of. New York, the Citizens Union, the City-Wide Citizens Committee on Harlem. the Com-mittee Against Race Discrimina-tion in the War Effort, the New York Committee of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Greater New York Industrial Council of the CIO, and the United Tenants League of Greater New York. The action seeks to declare the Stuy-resent Town contract invalid and, pending the decision by the Court, to enjoin the City and the Metro-politan from proceeding further with their piens.

Free Use Denied According to Harold S. Buttea-

helm, president of the Citizens' Homing Council, the new suit seis-es the question of the constitution-ality of the Redevelopment Com-panies Law, under which the pro-ject is undertaken. The Housing Council is attacking Stayer:sant Town primarily on what it Can-aidera ite serious defects from the standpoint of sound housing de-velopment, stating that under pres-ent plans the area would be over-crowded, deficient of school and community facilities. The Gonna also points out that free use of its facilities could wlllfslly be denied the public at large, and cites the formai assertion of a Metropolitan representative that no Negroes would he permitted as tenants, al-though the project will be greatly aided by public funds and tax ex-eraptiena.

The Anti-Nazi League welcomes Mr. Pratt's suit, and again urges upon the City administration the desirability of reconsideration in order that se vast a program may truly represent the best in housing standards and in democratic social attitudes.

He sensed the glamour which Castarina's Italian name gave his brand of fascism in 1147, and thought it better to cooperate combat this stealing of Ida thunder. So he invited Casio-rims to Baltimore and wrote:

"Wish you could bring mime of your companions along. Even some of the Germane in their uniforms would be welcomed and treated right. We do things right down here and of course that's to be expected where the poli- ticians are catering for our favors. We have things our own way,"
