During the early daya of the European
r? fo, 2 ^ turned into a World-wide con
flict, the “Reda" were conaidertd enemies of
our national atturity aa aureb* m ware the
faacisy. However, whan the German armies
went into Rusaia our sentiment changed.
After we became embroUed in World War
II, the Communist International ceaaed its
subversive activities in the United States,
and our citizena were instructed to look up
on their erstwhile political enemies as loyal
allies. When Japan surrendered, the demo
cratic cloak was discarded and the Ameri
can Communist Party emerged in a glorious
array of color ranging from pale pink to a
brilliant scarlet.
Two years have passed since the govern
ment lost its long fight to deport Ham-
Bridges. the west coast labor leader. Fol
lowing this victory. Bridges went to Hawaii
where he took charge of the International
Longshoreman Workers Union. Last fall the
ILWU went oiv strike, paralyzing Hawaii's
economy. By using union leaders trained in
strike technique, and by taking advantage-of
racial opportunities, prejudfces were fanned.
Each man Was becoming distrustful of his
neighbor. The theory of "divide and conquer”
appeared to be well under way. If we need
a perfect pattern of what Communism is out
to do in-the United States, we :ma\ well look
‘at the attempts of Harry Bridges, which
wej*e foiled by stubborn plantation owners at
•aiCesti mated total cost of $29,000,900, and
;a loss of 180,8&0 tons of raw sugar.
Last week in New York, a new "Bridges
irr
•m*" made Its appearance. The Immigra
tion and Naturalisation iervlee, • part of
the Justice Departmant, started deportation
hearings against John Santo, organisation
director of the CIO Tranaport Workers Un
ion. Santo la a Romanian-born alien. So far
the hearings have been intensely bitter.
There U considerable excitement in New
rTork labor circles. Santo was accused of
being a Communiat Party member, and the
party was accused of advocating the over
throw of the government "by force and vio-
ience." The government says it will prove
both charges. Officials of the Immigration
Service do not acknowledge the existence of
a "drive", but it is generally understood that
further arrests of aliens on charges of Com
munist affiliation may come soon.
In 1989 the Supreme Court decided
against the Immigration Service in the Jo
seph G. Strecker case and again in 1943 in
the Bridges case. The facts in those cases
may differ from the facts in the new cases,
but the charges are roughly the same—Com
munism and the overthrow of the govern
ment. In both of the earlier cases the high
est court of the land ruled in favor of the
individual, without finding H necessary to
make a flat decision on whether or not the
Communist party had violence on its mind.
Will they duplicate their previous deci
sions in these new developments? For the
sake of our democracy, with all of its faults,
and for the sake of the way of life which we
all love so well, let up hope that the courts
pass sentence on these cases and decide de
finitely that the Communist movement is
not to be a part of the American scene. It is
time (or us to put our foot down and drop
our kid glove policy.
‘Turn the other ehaek" sounds good, but
with copditions as they are today we can
hardly afford to gamble with such an ideal
istic theory.'If the other boys wish to play
rough, let us beat them at their own game.

lashed out at Soviet “abuac" of
the veto in the security council
which has been virtually ham

assembly should create its own
security council as a substitute
which couldn't be interfered with
by the veto. •
That in itself was enough to
stand the assembly on its head,
but Marshall went the limit. He
insisted that the U.N. save Greece
from Communist aggression. He
called on the assembly to pin hos

Here’s “fifteen" in acjvance for the new
North Gate!
The road now beinff dug across Walton
Hall lawn is one of the most helpful im
provements that could be made on the A.
& M. campus. For years traffic has been bot
tle-necked at the College Station post office
at least twice a day, with 'Congestion that
would pass for Dallas, Chicafo or New York.
Now this condition is to be relieved.
The streets of the old area of the campus
were laid out for horse-and-buggy, quite
literally. Oldsters who used to come to A.
ii M. in little red surries with th^ fringe on
top assure us that the North Gate, ami in
fact all of Houston street, is exactly as it wa.4
forty years ago. The only difference is that
travelers went on to Bryan by what is now
College Main Street.
Our West Gate was built for early auto
mobile traffic, that i» to say, for Model T
Fords, but it was built well and wide enough
to still serve today. The East Gate, of course,
is as new as the stream-lined car.
Now our North Gate, the business gate,
which endures the tires of more automo
biles than East and West Gates put together,
will soon be a fitting companion to the other
two. ‘Batter days are here! /
