Indianapolis Times, Indianapolis, Marion County, 4 January 1940 — Page 15

YORK, Jan. 4—Probably _ ‘present year will intensify the various drives throughout the world to stop Communism. No one can foresee what course this will take. Stalin has revealed‘'a chink in his armor—the seeming weakness of his vast military machine. ° Maybe, think the people who imagine that great economic problems can be solved with guns and. marching Jen, this is a good time to smite

Here at home, the Russo-German pact was a blow to the Communists from which they have hardly yet recovered. .That, followed by the attack or littie Finland, has taken all the pretense of idealism out of the Russian experiment. This, think our professignal anti-Com-munists at home, is/probably a good time to smite he Reds here.

THE STRANGE little plans for smiting them here are as feeble, after all, as the strange big plans for attacking them in Europe. Here Councilman Sullivan in Cambridge

‘thinks he can deal a death blow to!

communism by prohibiting the importation into Cambridge — and Harvard—of any book containing the names of Stalin and Lenin. Nothing that Hitler did in his fury against alien ideas wken he was burning books| at the stake surpasses this for sheer futility and folly. It is on a par with Labor Leader Petrillo’s plan to hurt the CIO by prohibiting the mention of John L. Lewis’ name on the stage in Chicago. Keeping Communists from speaking in public/halls and all that sort of thing is not the way.to fight communism. That is the. way to aid it. Earl Browder is going around the country in a successful campaign to get himself denied the privilege of speaking .in American colleges. He is collecting a very notable series of exhibits to prove that our vaunted devotion to freedom of discussion holds good only when our political system is not under fire.

2 = ¢ AND NOW in Europe strange sounds are heard. Why should Germany and England and France be fighting, ask powerful leaders. Would it not be far more sensible if France and Germany and England and Italy with the blessing of the Pope and the economic aid of the United States all turned upon Russia and crushed the Soviet regime? : Behind all these notions is the fatal fallacy that the way to fight communism is with military and suppressive measures. Communism is a disease which feeds on weak economic systems. . You might as well {ry to fight tuberculosis or pneumonia with the army. There is but one weapon to use against these diseases and that is to make and keep the body healthy. It is not at all beyond possibilty that a war between Western Europe and Russia might end in the defeat of Russia and the collapse of all Europe into Communism. In America at east we ought to keep in mind this important admonition—that against communism and fascism and all strange forms of economic societies we can. protect ourselves only by making our own economic system work. met ——
