Presently the philosophy Department will investigate me to find out what I have learned in Philosophy 75 these last four months. Intensive preparation for this event leaves me no time to write a column, so I shall turn over this space to the members of the House Un-American Activities Committee, who are fortunate enough not to be subjected to investigations of any sort themselves. The following quotations I dredge up from a pamphlet called "Communism and Education, the third in a series on the Communist conspiracy and its influences in this country as a whole on religion, on education, on labor, and on our government." The pamphlet was prepared and released by the last Congress's Committee, and it illustrates what H. L. Moneken has called "the primitive intelligence of morons and Congressmen" in a grotesque manner and, in these days, a significant one.

1. What is Communism?

A conspiracy to conquer and rule the world by any means, legal or illegal, in peace or war.

2. Is it aimed at me?

Right between your eyes.

3. What do the Communists want?

To rule your mind and your body from the cradle to the grave.

4. Are you joking?

Look at the world today and see if the people of Europe and Asia have anything to laugh about, now that Communism has captured so many of them.

13. Do you mean the Communists in this country take their orders from Stalin?

Just exactly that, and every one of them knows it sooner or later.

14. Then a "Bolshevik" and a "Communist" are the same thing in meaning, aren't they?

Yes, and they are bad news for everybody else.

33. Does any other school system teach hate in the classroom?

Some have, as in Italy, Germany, and Japan. Today, people in those countries are paying the price.
