"I REFUSE TO ANSWER" [] Our domestic Commies and their fellow travelers have been refusing to answer the question "are you, or have you been a Communist?" Professors, teachers, actors and all the rest of that disloyal crew have taken refuge in a Constitutional Amendment. The fact that they have been and still are endeavoring to tear down and destroy constitutional government in the United States does not deter them from hiding behind the very Constitution they seek to destroy. [] It must be disheartening and disillusioning to the heroic lads who are bleeding and dying in Korea to learn that we are protecting traitors at home. How must they feel when they realize that one of the candidates for the presidency is "soft" on domestic Commies, and that he almost offers an apology for the Chinese Reds. [] The Roosevelt Administration laid the foundation for the scuttling of this nation by the Reds. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt actually went into a meeting of the Un-American affairs committee of Congress to sneer at the members and to ridicule them because one of her pet boys was being investigated. Her husband's administration coddled the Reds. The Achesons, Lattimores, Jessups, Hisses, et al, were Roosevelt's gift to the U.S. [] Both the Roosevelt and Truman Administrations have "REFUSED TO ANSWER" when Congressional committees sought documentary proof of disloyalty. Roosevelt was notorious for his arrogant refusal to let members of Congress and the Senate see documents essential to the protection of our country. They were public documents too-not the private papers of the president. [] President Truman has been even more brazen. He has abused his executive powers to protect traitors, crooks, fixers, and those who have been engaged in selling the United States dawn the RED RIVER. Judy Coplon, Alger Hiss and similar disloyal characters had access to TOP-DRAWER SECRET DOCUMENTS which the President would not let the elected Congressmen and Senators see. Truman has refused to answer, and while he hid behind the phoney excuse of "for reasons of security" the truth was that he too feared "possible incrimination" from the contents of the documents. [] Certainly everybody in public life, and everybody holding a position of trust whether teacher, professor, corporation president or Labor Leader, actor, politician, whether President of the United States or in any other public office should be compelled to frankly answer that question or be promptly kicked out. [] Washington has set the pattern of refusal to give information about REDS, degenerates, and crooks in our Government, so it is small wonder that "I REFUSE TO ANSWER" has become the accepted method of evading exposure as a traitor or a thief.
