” . .» A COUPLE of radio commentators they do mention I would not care to discuss here, though I regard them both as despicable characters. One point the book brings out clearly: In any area of controversy, like FEPC or anti-segrege-tion discussions, there is such a thing as honest conservatism, just as there is such a thing as honest liberalism, or, if you will, radicalism. The book quotes a brief editorial comment of the Christian Science Monitor on FEPC. The authors say they don’t agree with the opinion, but they do respect it as being honest. Into that same area of discus; sion will come a whole Coxey’s | Army of crackpots. Some are paranoid rabble-rousers who cir- | culate vicious pamphlets and) make inflammatory speeches. Others, more insidious and dangerous, are Communists following the now all-too-familiar taetic of making trouble just for the hell of it. Professing real concern with the Negro problem in this country, the Communists repeatedly have obstructed justice and retarded progress toward better race-relations, THE AUTHORS call our attion also to the slummy realm of pamphleteeting and private publishing of books we never see in reputable bookshops. For a price, you can still buy, in scores or hundreds, reprints of the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion hoax. If you know this underworld traffic you can buy, also in quantity, the most scabrous and blasphemous tracts assailing the Catholic church, pagticularly convents. These revelations, of course, are not new. It's 30 years since I graduated from high school, but I can still recall the manifestations of prejudice then current.
