When the U. S. Communist Party's general secretary and No. 1 front man, crook-mouthed Earl Browder, so testified to the Dies Committee last September, he put himself in danger of a second Federal imprisonment.

The educated freeman has a deep interest in opposing the contraction of the area where thought is free, but modern warfare, in which the machine crushes man as never before, gives peace loving people added realization of the danger to civilization of permitting war to be used for any ends other than resistance to aggression.
