Cardinal Spellman
Rebukes Critics
Of ‘McCarthyism’
BRUSSELS, Belgium, UR—Fran
cis Cardinal Spellman of New
York Saturday rebuked European
critics of “McCarthyism,” saying
Americans would not be dissua
ded from their determination to
root out Communism subversion.
The New York archbishop, in a
speech prepared for a Roman
Catholic group sponsoring lec
tures by eminent personalities, de
fended the procedure of congres
sional committees investigating
Communism.
: Referring to what he termed
the “hysterical tone” of criticism
1 of committee procedure, Cardinal
Spellman asserted:
“No American uncontaminated
by Communism has lost his good
name because of congressional
hearings on un-American activi
ties. However, there are individu
als who have seriously compro
mised themselves by a flat refusal
to state whether they are now or
have been Communists. It is im
possible for me to understand why
any American should refuse to
declare himself free of Commu
nist affiliation, unless he has
something to hide. . .”
Cardinal Spellman declared
there are strong reasons for the
inquiries, and added:
“The anguished cries and pro
tests against ‘McCarthyism’ are
not going to dissuade Americans
from their desire to see Commu
nists exposed and removed from
positions where they can carry
out their nefarious plans. If Am
erican prestige is going to suffer
in Europe because of this under
standable desire we have to keep
our free society immune from
Communist subversion, then it
seems more a reflection upon
European standards of honor and
patriotism rather than ours. . . .”
In 1950 the United States used
almost twice as much oil as the
rest of the non-Communist world
combined.
