The reasons why it is our good fortune may be seen on the map day by day. The reason why it is our bad luck is that this relationship gives the Com-| munist and the pro-Communist an opportunity to cry out that anyone who still hates all dictatorship everywhere, is doing Adolf Hitler's work and #$acrificing the lives of Americans who are fighting to preserve the American form of government here, A few years ago, Mr, Ickes seriously proposed that to our off-shore outposts as many as we

It's "Poor Sportsmanship’

MR. ICKES ACCUSES men of lying who oppose Communism here and resist the activities of Communists whose’ loyalty, as even the pgesident, Mrs, Roosevelt and Attorney General Biddle have said, lies with Russia. This is. inconsistent, considering the. abundant testimony of back-sliding Communists that communism, like Hitlerism, preaches contempt for truth and rejects as a weakling anyone who would lie for the cause of communism. Favoring communism, he should not disparage liars lest he offend his friends. ‘Mr. Ickes, Mr, Wallace and the Communists and fellow-travelers have been trying to sell communism to the American people s with small doses. It is poor sportsmanship, to say nothing of the quality of their American patriotism, to revile Americans who never lack the gumption to fight back, even knowing what blackguardism this resistance will call down on them.
