...expect reasonable men to think of participation in open and legal meetings on public subjects as the equivalent of secret plotting to commit crime, merely because Communists or "fellow travelers" take part in such meetings.

In a few crisp words, Cy Ching gave the 400 assembled U.S. executives plenty to think about. He said he would probably be called pro-labor for saying it, but in the labor disputes he has sat in on, "labor is always better prepared with facts & figures than management."
