Bro,n2;««J
.. not fictitious ’
Editor,
The Battalion:
In regard to the letter pub
lished in The Battalion Feb. 22,
we would like to present the fol
lowing thoughts.
We quote from your column,
“Sound Off:”
“A free society is character
ized by the existence of individ
uals who publicly take positions
on issues of the day—including
un-popular, minority positions.”
If this is an admission of rep
resenting a minority group; we
are not questioning the point.
However, the letter and its
theme might be questioned. The
fact that this and thousands of
other articles can appear in the
newspapers of this free land in
dicates that this is still Ameri
ca. Should we be labeled a Com
munist State because there is a
complete unanimity (with few
exceptions) of opinion ?
On the contrary, this opinion,
which is the opposition against
those who would subvert our
very beliefs, is extremely detri
mental to the Communist goal.
We are thankful that the people
of these United States are unani
mous in their hatred for the
“Red” movement. If “Operation
Abolition” is not authentic, (doc
umented evidence asserting oth
erwise), it has stimulated the
minds of many Americans and
agitated those in opposition.
This stimulus may have
reached us even too late, but
God is on our side. The Com
munists have admitted that this
belief in God is what they fear
in their attempt to undermine
America. For the sake of truth
we would encourage the aca
demic community to see the film
before criticizing something that
is placing stumbling blocks in
the path of our foe.
To state that various religious
groups, journalists, labor groups
and faculty members have op
posed “Operation Abolition” ^m-
ly indicates that we have been
lulled to sleep in the last 15 years
just as millions were deceived by
Castro.
The Communists are working
on all types of fronts and we the
people need to awaken.
Lenin prophesied, “First we
will take Eastern Europe, then
the masses of Asia, then we will
encircle the United States which
will be the last bastion of Capi
talism. We will not have to at
tack, it will fall like an over-ripe
fruit into our hands.”
Can you realize just how much
of this statement has occurred
and can be documented day after
day in our newspapers ?
J. Edgar Hoover says in “Mas
ters of Deceit,” “The Commu
nists have already planned to
move the Capitol from Washing
ton to Chicago and they plan to
put to death one out of every
three Americans.”
We ask the readers of this
column, should we take our place
in the grandstands and applaud
the efforts of the enemy?
We say “No!” The game to be
played between 1961 and the
magic date of 1973 (when this
over-ripe fruit is to fall) must
be won by those who are yet
free. —
To state that individuals from
various groups, members of sev
eral university staffs and sev
eral newspapers in California op
pose the film proves nothing. It
does show that some are misin
formed.
Hoover said in “Communist
Target—Youth,”* that “the party
was in an advantageous position
because as early as 1959 teach
er’s groups, church organizations,
civil liberties groups, and a few
newspapers in the San Francisco
area were opposing the hear
ings.”
If such things are in order,
why worry over the findings of
the HU AC? Why shouldn’t we
have some group to question the
Browns, the Brodskys, the Mick
ey Limas and the other individ
uals who vow to destroy us. Let
us know who we are fighting to
keep America free!
We should not doubt the ex
istence of Communist activity
that is shown in “Operation Abo
lition.” For further documenta
tion read “Communist Target—
Youth,” which reveals that the
demonstrations were skillfully

Positions to be filled are in the Career Civil Service
conducted by the Communists.
Examples of typical Communist
action are as follows:
The San Jose Club of the San
ta Clara County Communist Par
ty circulated petitions and pub
lished protests in the news
papers. Oakland Communist Par
ty members arranged for radio
broadcasts and advertisements in
local papers. Fund drives were
initiated in various clubs to pro
vide financial support for the at
tack.
and other campuses was paying
dividends. Merle Brodsky (an
active leader in Communist Par
ty affairs in California for more
than 20 years), boasted that he
was calling everyone he has ever
known to support these demon
strations.
On the evening of May 6, 1960,
party members held a meeting
to assess their progress and plan
further activity. Mickey Lima
(self-professed boy Communist

After reading “Communist
Target — Youth,” you too can
see why the Communist Party of
the United States was pleased
with the proceedings that took
place in California.
Just as Lenin said that the
United States could betaken
without war, we now say that
Communism can be conquered
without war. We have started
on a strong front with “Opera
tion Abolition!”
