No Room for the “Isms"
(Philadelphia Record)
“It just doesn’t make sense.”
Our visitor referred to three
recent polls of the Institute of
Public Opinion which were
spread out on the desk.
One poll showed:
Ninety-four percent of the vot
ers disapprove Germany’s treat-1
xnent of the Jews, 97 percent dis-j
approving Germany’s treatment:
of Catholics.
Another poll showed:
Seventy-four percent of the,
voters favoring continuance of
the Dies Committee, 26 percent'
against.
The third poll showed:
That if Russia were to go to
war with Germany, 83 percent
of the people would hope for a
Russian victory.
On the surface, perhaps, these
polls do setm confusing. How!
come that people whofavor con-j
tinuation of the Dies committee.1
which has be n smearing liberal
ism and trying to pin the red
label on the New Deal, also are
people who would like the see
Russia beat Germany?
The answer is that all three
<<f. these polls demons'ra e ore
basic trait of Am: ric. i charac
ter—love of decency and fair
play and sympathy for the under
dog.
The common denominator of
these p ’Is in found in the feet
that each of them expresses Am
erican distaste for the “isms’’ and
for the brutalities and crimes
which the “isms” represent. And
if the Russian ‘ism” is preferred
to the Nazi “ism,” in the event
of war, it is only because the
Russian “ism” is regarded as the
least menacing of the two evils
in this juncture.
Finally, the Dies committee,
whose t tle is the Committee for
Investigation of un-American
Activities, was 1 kz" in this poll
at the face value of its title much
more than at the value of its in
quiries. Many people have not
been aware that the Dies Com
mittee is engaged in a pernicious
political game in behalf of re
action, and they assume that it
is a committee against the “isms”
and, hence, are for it on that
ground.
To us, these polls of the In
stitute of Public Opinion not
only made sense, but demonstra
ti ’ ti.r* American public opinion
today as throughout ids history
is unfaltering in behalf of the
oppressed and against oppressors
at ‘ ’ acutely aware that
the crisis of our own day is the
challenge to human freedom.
Heartening is the overwhelm
ing force of their answer to- that
■challenge, in the hug? majorities
for tolerance and d cency.

Baseball News
Next Wednesday night will
witness another double header
baseball game at the school gym.
The last two games have sure
been most interesting, as some
fans say—because they enjoyed
the goo doll-round playing of the
different teams, and especially
the superb playing of the win
ning teams as well as their
sportsmanship.
Nevertheless, the games to be'
played this coming Wednesday
will probably be better and more
fiercely contested than any yet
played, so if you wish to get a
seat where you can watch and
roar at every exciting play, it
will be up to those attending to
get there early, as the town has
gone mad over indoor baseball
aga;n. Can you blame them?
The Hammons are picked to
beat the Alaskans unless the t
manager of the Alaskans is able
to get some of his old time team
together and make a last stand
as champions.
The Nome team which has al
ready won two straight games, is
heading for a defeat Wednesday
night unless they get over their
swelled heads and cock-sure
methods.
“When I marry I am going to
cook, sew, wash and darn mv
husband’s socks, lay out his pipe
and slippers and read to him
evenings. What more could a
husband ask than that ”
“Nothing unless he was evil
minded.”
