THE MAIL

The CRIMSON does not take responsibility for any opinions or charges expressed in published letters. All opinions belong only to the authors of letters.

To the Editor of the "Crimson":

Dr. Cannon denies that the New York parade was communistic. He states that it was organized by the American League against War and Fascism?

Just what is the American League Against War and Fascism?

The Communist International's Magazine (Jan. 15, 1934--page 78) states: "Our most successful application of the united front has been in the anti-war and anti-fascist movement. We led a highly successful Congress against war . . . the Congress from the beginning was led by our party quite openly . . . the Congress set up a permanent organization on a federative basis called "The American League Against War and Fascism."

Mrs. E. Dilling of Chicago visited the second Congress Sept. 28-30, 1934 "decked with Communistic banners . . . two masked army officers in full uniform pledged seditious cooperation to turn any United States war into a red revolution."

This league is one of many noble sounding organizations founded by or at the instance of the Moscow Machine.

The Crimson erroneously said we charged that the ambulance never reached Spain. Actually we charged that it was used in a communistic parade on August 7, 1937, in New York.

The Crimson editorially insinuates that we are liars. We recommend that Dr. Cannon as well as the Crimson respect the word "veritas."

Meanwhile, we await a complete probe by the student council.
