” . . (} Philadelphie <4, Pae wy . = THE COMMITTEE ON UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES, . —...--~. -- — —- eH eee. Washington, PF. C. Dear Rep. John Sy™Wood: There is neo such thing as free speech as the term "Pree at is oer so glibly and misunderstandingly applied, Free speech is restricted to citizens who - Jive within the Constituticn, eo One of the most deceptive statements of Communists and their fellow travellers - public officials and college professors with high-sounding names- 4s: “I believe in DEMOCRACY - a demccratic form of government." Democracy is acoord- ing to OFFICIAL definitions and, as the term implies, the wery essence of Commnism and wherever tried has resulted in diotatorship. Jow.Stelin and his henchmen used the word "DENOCRACIE” to foist his dictatorship on the Russians, The fact that democracy, the rule of the mob, won't work is as old as civilization itself, The remark of James Madison, frail little Father of the Constitution, that: “Democracy is the bait of schemers and crocked peliticians” fits our biggest peddlers of democracy about as neatly as a glove. I would have you read Madison on “Democracy” and “Reputlicanism™ in No.X in FEDERALIST (most book and dept. stores). "We sre a denocratic people in contradietinction to aristecracye Our government was founded as e REPUBLIC so as to be, on the one side, opposed to democracy; on the other to Monarchy." - Principles of Constitutional Law, Thomas Me Cooley. “The United States shell GUARANTEE to every State in this Union a REPUBLICAN form of government;.e." - From our Constitution (Art.

Citizens who un-Americanize themselves tc the extent of talking collectivism, communism, democracy, fascism, nazism, liberalism, socialism, or a new world order ~ “Union Now" forfeit all Constitutional rights. And, according to our Constitution and Laws, it becomes the solemn duty of the good citizens of this REPUBLIC to have them imprisoned or executede. — yf Is it truc, as Tantomalker relates, the Administration has 200 million dollars earmurked to be spent in close areas? In other words, does the Roesevelt-Truman CIO-Pac coelition mctn to plunge the American taxpsyers! 290 million dollars deeper in debt in order to deny the Americun people their right to free elections, and to keep themselves in office? And, if so: ° "our fethcrs asserted what we are accustomed to call the “fright ef Revolution,'...,.0ne great end of goverment is protection,- to secure men in their rights to life, liberty, property, happiness and home, _ But if government, instead of recognizing the rights of men, denies these rights; if, instead of protecting these rights, it violotes them, it is no longer a righteous government and has no right to demand obedience and sub- jection, It may heve power to rule, but it hos no right to rulee ‘Government ceases to be an chfect of obedience when it becomes an instrument of oppress- ion,*,.Administretions are often turned from en unjust course by an unsuccess- ful revolution...cee.
