SAN DIEGO
00: NEH YORK
The House Committee on Un-American Activities
held hearings at San Diego, California on July 5 and 6, 1955.
The results of these hearings are reported in "Investigation
of Communist Activities in the San Diego, California area".
Pertinent information concerning above captioned
person appears as follows:
On Page 1919 reflects testimony by SCHNEIDER that
"they believe we have a choice between continuing the war and
creating artificial markets for our produce and depression,
since they think that Wall Street wouldn't want a depression,
of course, we have no other choice than to try to continue the
war,"
Chairman FRANCIS mamas then asked "Now, one of _
these people is Dr, W, E. B. DU BOIS. He is an educated man.
Does he believe that sort of tripe, too?" SCHNEIDER answered
that she had met Doctor DU BCIS and does not think he so believes.
Page 2001 of the transcript reflects that SCHNEIDER /identified DU POIS as the person who made the keynote speech ,¢7L
at the National Convention in Chicago in 1952, of the IPP. V
SCEIETDZR was shown a copy of what purported to be
a text of his keynote speech and asked if that was the speech
which he delivered, She stated it was to the best of her recoll-
action.

In the DPW issue dated June 15, 1951, on Page 1
of "Our World" Section, there appeared an article entitled,
"Dangerous Man." This article pertained to an interview
by TERRY PETTUS, Northwest Editor of the DPW, with the
Subject. Below are comments made by the Subject to PETTUS,
In answer to the question as to the reason for the lack
of information as to what is happening in the world today,
DU BOIS replied: .
"It is due to nothing more nor less than the complete
and planned blackout in the commercial press and radio. . _ .of every shred of information on the host important
and controversial issue of our time. I have seen
nothing like it in my career. This blackout is much
worse in our own country than:snywhere else in the
world--even in Europe...."

As to Senator JOHNSON's Korea Peace Resolution,
DU BOIS stated:
"That is why it is also being suppressed by the
newspapers. Senator JOHNSON is no great liberal
but he is a shrewd politician. We must make the
people aware of his resolution...The fighting in
Korea must be brought to a halt; Now is the time
for the people to make themselves heard."
In his description of what one must do to "be sure
of earning a living, avoiding slander and abuse, possibly
personal violence, and even keeping out of jail", DUBOIS
stated:
"To accomplish these ends in our 'free' country
today you must repeatedly and loudly make it abundantly
clear that you hate Russia--that you oppose Socialism
and Communism--that you support without reservation
the war in Korea--that you are ready to spend any
amount for more war anywhere and any place--that you
are ready to fight China, the Soviet Union and any
other country or all countries put together--that
you favor the use of atomic bomb or any other mass
destruction weapon and you regard those who believe
otherwise as traitors-that you not only believe in
all these things but that you are willing to spy
on your neighbors and denounce them."
As to the question of "Economic Serfdom" of the Negro
people, DU BOIS stated:
"atnis 1S a close personal question that touches
the lives of all of us. It involves the very special
evil of low paid colored labor. That is what
is back of the aggression in the Far Rast. That
is what is back of the slaughter in Korea. It
is the business of stripping a colonial country of
its raw materials--or processing it in part with
cheap labor.

IROOKLVN 1. u v.
June 20th, 1956
Dear Friend:
There are many Americans like myself who
believe that the several victims of the Smith Act
now in jail or free on bail are being unjustly per-
secuted for the political and social beliefs which
they honestly hold, There are other Americans
who believe that these victims have endangered
this nation by what they have thought and said=
But I think that all of us can agree on one
thing, and that is that the families and children of
these persons should not be made to suffer.
Families have suffered cruelly from these arrests;
especially the children are in need of help, recrea
tion and encouragement,
I am writing especially to ask if you will not
contribute something in support of the Families of
Smith Act Victims, which services the children
and their mothers as described in the accompany-
ing brochure. I hope you will be able and willing
'|':92 Hal ...., .....,,.
Very sincerely,
0?; =5

The National Committee, Communist Party, USA CP!,
in issuing its final text of the "Resolution Growing Out
of the Presidential Elections" in "Political Affairs," issue
of July, 1953, states in substance that in 1948 the CP
helped stimulate the formation of the Progressive Party PP!
and correctly su ported the PP through the 1952 elections.It then states:dL/
"However, the mistake our Party made was to
confuse this task with the historic task of forming a new
mass party of the people. As a consequence, there existed
the wrong estimate that the formation of the Progressive
Party represented something more than the simple emergence
of an important righting iorce for peace; that it =-
represented the emergence of a great people's Party.¢l//
As a result of this reasoning, the resolution
concludes that the "Progressive Party, the GP and other
progressiv f ces" must unite in a broad, mass-frontc0alition.7l/9r
Concerning "Political Affairs" mentioned above,
ELIZABETH GURLEY FLYNN, a convicted CP functionary,
testifying in the case "US vs Elizabeth Gurley Flynn et a1,"
on October 20, 1952, stated that "Political Affairs" has
been the theoretical organ of the C since thepublication's beginning in l945,L;/F
