writes that lasting peace can be had by co-existence of the U,S.AJ7
and the U.S.S.R., on the basis or peaceful competition, honoring _
of commitments, negotiations of all outstanding differences, and 52.
recognition of the basic democratic right of all peoples to choose
their own form cg government. It is this deeper ideological mean-;*
ing, underlying the real concern of certain top monopolists with
the reckless pace! with which the bi-partisan camp moves to the
twin disaster of war and depression, that a people's peace
movement must grasp hold of, in order to curb the warmongers.

The subject concludes the article by writing, =Ye=; i
The Communist Party, whose leaders are_victims of Smith Aet;__
repression, can be proud of its modest contribution to the-i Y]
struggle for peace. What would our nation have been, had we.a'§
not had the inspiring leadership of the Party led by WILLIAM ,-
2. FOSTER and EUGENE DENNIS? The whole activity of the Party
has been devoted to reversing the present ruinous path of our '
nation, resulting from the Nell Street bi-partisan policy. The-1
membership, in and out of the organized peace movement, have" -
been selfless in their work for peace, and have experiencedé Q» ,-
and are experiencing many reprisals as the Communist Party fights -
for its legal rights as an American politcl party, a fight which
is itself, of course, of the essence of the struggle against~ .
war. Communists must and do bring to the peace movement the "
selflessness, cnthusiansm and confidence in victory characteristic
of Marxists-Leninists, not because they are self-righteous, but '
because the Party is correct, because its path is the path ef=~¢e~~
the development of human society. s. ;,_ ; =. » ., '_ ., __ ,,_>-... p

high Communist principles, we must learn from the people and

Children trooping to school with Ihite sheets to cover their I '
little bodies in atomic drills; children being separated from their parenta'
because of the parents' stand for peace and anti-Negro persecution; the
orgy of witch hunts; reactionary legislation; cuts in Federa1_school'_ H
appropriation; and discharge of teachers for their political beliefs; t '
terrorization of children by the FBI because of the political viewpoints
of their parents. The author shows that all agencies of.the Governmentf
combined to transform the children from human beings to robots, conditioned
to favor and participate in world slaughter. A complete chapter of the
. book dwells on the persecution of the Negro children. -I
- According to the subject, this book will awaken lmerican
parents to the need for a crusade against the dangers facing their sons
anddaughters, as well as spike the liking assertion that the Iielders of
atomic war and destruction are-endangering the children of America.

The "Party Voice", volume 1, number 11, dated February, 195k,
contains an article entitled, The Precious Charters of Liberty", by
CLAUDIA JONES. A review of this issue discloses that it is a "Special
Issue on Negro History Week for 19Sh.
The author treats the topic of McCARTHIISM and refers to e
McCARTHY andhis backers as patently anti-Negro because they are antie
democratic, and anti-peace. - T
HcGARTHI supporters, according to the author, group themselves
around powerful Texas monopoly oil interests, well known for their _
openly-admitted racist, anti-Negro connections. - ' '

placing the Negro question as one of "inter-racial difficulty" seemingly
placing equal responsibility on Negro and White. However, according to = -_ -
the author, the Communists know this to be untrue because the Gomnmiet
Party basically clarifies the Negro question in the United States by
placing it as a national question and one of special oppression. The" l
Gomnumist Barty has ernhhasicg why the nrhite workers asst fight for felleconomic, political, and social equality of Negro workers ,in=-their our -
self.-interests. " ' -' Y - ' .-'46-
The author dedicates herself during the celebration of Negro 1 '
History leek that she will have no rest until the Negro is set free.
