rw * wea Mit” Pro ed epnea-egimebamneiell NY 100-4931 "away with the so-called ri:hts of Americans to propagate warmonger— ine because if you do away with this so-called rizht, you will be doing away with freeizm of the press ani freedom of speech in the United States, Now dcesn't this sound very familiar to us? Because just a few days azo President TRUMAN had a vress conference and he talke? about price control and didn't he say the very same thing about that and if you have price control in this country you would be doing away with a free state, you vould be introducing a police state? So then Mrs. ROOSEVELT is echoing the most reactionary argu- ment put forward by the warmengers forces in our om country. " Sse I tell you that it is ironical that Mrs. ROOSEVELT was chesen because of the fact of her lone libcral and prerressive backsround and because she is the wife of the great lamented Presiient ROOGEVELT; bociuse President ROOSEVELT had a different policy with respect to warmongers, with respect to Fascists and aggression and we find that policy he expressed it in his famous Sleran, 'Quarantining the Ageressér ', At the time in this world when the Fascist aggressors threateed the »eace and security of the worl’, President ROOSEVELT didn't say that they had the risht to do - that - that they had the right to propagate their warmongerin7 ideas, etc., because he believed in freedtoin of speech, expressicn, vtec. Cn the contrary, he said that they were a monace ts the peace of the worl: ud the people cf our country an! they hai te be quarantined; they hal to be isolated, they had to be crushul. " Well, it is well reco-mizec in our country that when there is a disease an! when there is an epidemic we take stons to isolate ani to quarantine that epidemic. And nobody talks about when there is an upideaie cf dipthoria cr scarlet fover or sanething like that — ’ that we shouljan't take quirantine measures be- cause .f the so-ealiot ‘winciple of freetem of health.
