To Pravda, the activities o_f Russia
friends proved that foreign democratic
intellectuals have become more and
more convinced that only by following
the principles which the USSR is
defending in the eld of international
relations can the leaders of science and
culture be set free from the fate of the
servants of imperialism."
Unfortunately, Pravda added. the
friends of the USSR do not have
freedom of speech on the pages of news-
papers, magazines, and boo!-rs with great
circulations, and sometimes these per-.

nation; No. 1 spud producer. Commer-
cially, it could boast of the astounding
355 bushels per acre which it converts
into starch, alcohol, dehydrated potatoes,
seed potatoes or fertilizer, our just lets
rot under the government's prico-sr.rp-port program. B0tanically, the county-igger than Connecticut and Rhode Is-
land cor:nbined-had also been famous
for its forests of magnicent white pines.
Militarily, it _w-as another matter. Be-

is his risk. Those who favor esuaes must risk
the consequences oi opposition. Better men than
Paul Robeson have been thrownto the lions. I1
the csuse is worthy. the martyrdom is worthy.
Robeson. however, has no right even to imply
or to permit the untruth to be circulated that
when he is opposed ss one isvoring Soviet Rus-
sis. or the Communists. he is opposed as on srtis
or s Ne:ro.1hst wee not true in Peoria.

Civil Rights of man. ' '. t
Enclosld you will find the facts, which have led to these
charges being placed against le. I have been accused oi being a Gmmunis
because I bslievsd Paul Robeson had'e right to sing to the people of this,
city and I believed he had e. right'to defend. himself against the deroga-
tory statements that have been made against him. These accusations have
been made by the American Legim in thie city. I em Commander oi the ell
Negro Post here and I ask that your Bureau investigate us and also myself,
and give us a definite statement as to your findings, so that we may wipe
this stupid incident from our records. ' '

I em saw that you present us with a definite statement
as to whether or not Pa Robeson is or-i not e Oomunist. Ie have ell -
of the information c ged accusations against him, but we want
to know if he is listed in your files as a Eomzmmist. '
- I feel that any good American who-has fought-£or_the free-
dom of mankind does not want to be accused of such acts, when he knows only
one country.and will gladly sacrifice his life that all men might be fnece
I am asking for this investigation and your statements ati
the earliest possible date, so that we might clarify this case. I snait"your reply and will gladly givryou any other infonnation necessary. 1'

ggg PEOPLE'S SID3 QQ THE RDBESON INCIDENT
A gifted Negro artist, Paul Robeson, one of the greates singers
of our age, came to Peoria. But the people of Peoria were denie the
right to hear him sing. Paul Robeson is not only a great singer, heis alsola tine warm cultured personality. A big man in body, mind
and sou .
At college, Paul Robeson was an honor student and an Al1-Amer-
ican end on the Htgers football team. As singer and actor he has
had outstanding success on the stage screen and radio. He is awell-traveled man who sings in many languages. Because of his abil-
ity to d.ng the songs and reach the hearts of the common man all over
the world, he has earned the titles or "Citizen of the World" and
"Singer of People's Songs". This man has sung in the biggest audit-
oriums around the globe. He has put his great talents at the service
of his own people and of the toilers. So he has sang to soldiers
at the battle front and to workers in their union halls and on the
picket lines. Perhaps that is why the powers that be would allow
Paul Robeson no place in Peoria to sing his golden songs, except
the small living room of a worker's home.
WHY WHY? WHY?
Citizens or Peoria, we must ask: WHY were we denied the right
to hear Paul Robeson sing?
WHY was a great American artist denied civil rights and civil
courtesy in our city?
WHO organized the Hitler-like campaign of terrorism against this
noted representative of the Negro people? '
What vested interests were able to turn our Mayor and other city
authorities into spineless jellyfish, using their law enforcement
powers not to protect Paul Robeson from threats of violence, but to
collaborate with the lawless elements who made the threats?
WHO, behind the scenes, decided that we were not intelligent
enough to judge for ourselves the merits of Ir. Robcson's offerings.
' IHBSE ASE lHE,§AC@§
Paul Robeson was engaged to sing at the Shrine Mosque on Friday,
April 1B, 1947. His concert was arranged by Allen Cannon, part time
music instructor at Bradley College. It was one of a series of con-
certs promoted tor the sake of profit and to bring noted singers and
choruses to Peoria. Previous concerts had received good publicity
and are reported to have been very successful and profitable. ~
But from the first announcements of the Robeson concert thorc
were rumblings of opposition, coming in the main from people conn-
ected with and influenced by some of Peoria's big industries. A_kill-with-silence policy of press and radio was combined with a
whispering campaign to imdt the sale of tickets. Up to a for days
before the concert this was apparently considered adequate to guar-

of the insidious use of race prcjud
propaganda being used to limit the
ularise the concert and to guaranges.
a group of Peoria citizens, aware

Paul Robeson in the flesh and hear him sing.
But the sponsor, admittedly we

ficantly enough, Milo Nelson, lst
Ward Alderman, introduced a resolution to the City Council with the
avowed intention of barring Paul Robeson from public appearance in
Peoria. Alderman Nelson's resoluti on and prepared remarks used the
same smear technique as the above mentioned Star columnist and many
people are wondering WHO wrote the
man. Without discussion or debate

Despite threats of violence, insults and slander, Paul Robeson
came to Peoria, The people were denied a place to meet him and hear
him sing» He was refused time on radio station WHBD, the only Peoria
radio outlet in the evening. Hundreds of people who hoped he might
appear at the City Hall, were gathered there on Friday night. Theywere given a full exhibition of the police reserves, called out bylayer Triebel - not to uphold the law, but to make sure that the aw-
fu_ rights of free speech and free assemblage would not be exercised,
In the living room of Ajay Martin, a Caterpillar worker new ser-
ving as a union official, a few people were fortunate enough to meet
Ir. Robeson. There he sang a couple of the songs which have delight-
ed great audiences in all the free parts of the world. There he was
interviewed by the press.
Paul Robeson own words are the best description of what he found
in Peoria: I've been all over the world he said, "and the only
.times I have seen hysteria reach these heights was in Spain under
Franco and in Germany under Hitler - this is a sure sign that Fascism
is around the corner in our Country"-
Hs promised to return saying "I personally will return again,
and there will be others too. This most flagrant violation of civil
rights will not go unchallenged."

It is too bed that we have to go outside of our city for a pro-
gressive and rational editorial concerning the Rdaeson case. But
that being the ease, we hearwith reprint parts of an editorial from
the Chicago bun of Sunday, April 20th.
EEEEQT5 -OE [THE WITCH HUN!
It was bound to happen. If Paul Robeson had not been prevent-
ed from singing in Peoria, he probably would have been banned some
place else. Peoria in prescribing a concert because of the singer's
political views, was only reflecting the hysteria of the hysteria
of the witch hunt that is BI00p1ng the nation.
After all, there is not toe great a distance between "stopping
Cemunism" by arming right-wing governments all over the world,
and stopping Comunism" by silencing a great singer. Cnee you sub-
ject government employees to the kind of "loyalty" test which casts
suspicion on every person who over harbored a progressive thought,
it is easy to demand that artists present a certificate of intell-
ectual decontamination, something like the Aryanization license
Hitler used to require, before being allowed to perform.
When dissent is regarded as disloyalty, when the non-conform
ist threught is considered a subversive thought, then it follows
that treason will be suspected in a singer's voice, and betrayal
in an artistic performance.
l'l"H'"R'il"3¬-'31-ii-'2!-11'
We think it is time for the people of Peoria and the people
of America to some to their senses; The universal red hunt isa vicious thing not because of what it may do to the hunted, but
because of what it does to the hunters. ust as Hitlerism degraded
the German People, so this mad preoccupation with a Red "menace"
can only impair the merican people's self-respect, their intell- -
ectual integrity, their confidence in the truly boundless strength
of democracy, their dignity as freeman.
What kind of citizenship is it that judges every man's actionsby secret speculation on his place in the political spectrum. What ed Y3
kind of Americanism is it that weighs men not by their worth but
by their political convictions? that kind of democracy is it that

me; problem is one for the whole nation, not progressives 0.1-

ient nor democratic to try to "stop Communism" by backing Fhsci
suppressing tree speech, establishing thought control, or banning
Paul Rd':cson's voice;
