NY 100-50680 "Everybody knows now what the U. S. is against. It is much more important for everyone to Know what the United States is for. The United States, and other ‘Free Nations! of the West declare every hour on the hour, all over the face of the earth, that they are for Democracy. Buy Negro people will know that the U. S&S. is really for Democracy when, and not until when, we became first class citizens and along with a1] other American citizens, we can enjoy our Civil Rights. "The African and Asian peoples know all about Democracy. They remember _ that the Democracy of Britain was not for them; that the 'Fraternite Egalite,' etc. of France was not for them; it was only after they fought and died and their leaders were imprisoned and they finally achieved their J independence, that the 'Free Nations' began all this screaming about Democracy. "The frantic anti-communism, the feverish hounding and persecution of 20 or 50 or 100 Communists in the United States — when one considers the 1,000 million of them in the rest of the world =. is pathetic and tragic and futile. “Whatever Henry Winston's political convictions are, I believe them to be honest eonvictions, else he would not have had the courage to endure such contemptible and brutal persecution for them. So I wish him speedy and permanent recovery, and say to him, across the miles: Be well, Man.”
