I waged a bitter battle to present documentary evidence that atheism, free love and disarmament for the sake of Red revolution and dictatorship are the principles of Communism-Socialism and that notorious jailbird Communist agitators, Negro and white, speak constantly in U. of C. halls sponsored by U. of C. authorities. The seditious pronouncements recorded at one Communist Congress alone, held there, should convict the U. of C. authorities under the Illinois sedition law.
President Hutchins himself serves on the board of the Communist Moscow State University, recruiting students to go over to Russia to be trained by Soviet revolutionaries.* Atheism is the first course of the day this summer.
Organized by Communists and Socialists, on April 12, 175,000 U. S. students struck, declaring the peacetime treason that they would never uphold the U. S. Government in any war. The U. of C. Strike Committee, when it marched in the Communist parade May 30th, printed the statement that it represents 2,700 students on the U. of C. campus.
The question before U. S. citizens today is whether or not they want the academic freedom for Communistic cancer which perils the freedom and health of the entire body politic.
ELIZABETH DILLING
Kenilworth, Ill.
After a month spent in Soviet Russia in 1931 Elizabeth Eloise Kirkpatrick (Mrs. Albert Wallwick) Dilling returned to her Chicago suburb to write and publish The Red Network, which includes in its list of some 1,300 U. S. radicals the names of Mrs. Roosevelt, Secretary Ickes, Senator Borah, Professor Irving Fisher and Mrs. J. Borden Harriman. At a hearing of the Illinois Senate committee investigating University of Chicago last month, Mrs. Dilling spent two hours exposing such "Reds" as Newton D. Baker, the late Jane Addams, Harold H. Swift ("the cream-puff type"), Louis D. Brandeis ("He contributes $100 a year to a filthy little Communist college down in Arkansas"). Then a little man in the rear of the committee-room whispered to his neighbor that the witness ought to be named Mrs. Dillinger instead of Mrs. Dilling. The neighbor, who happened to be Husband Albert Wallwick Dilling, promptly uprose and smashed the little man's jaw. The hearing adjourned in an uproar.
Last week the Senate committee, which shortly called off its investigation in disgust, cleared University of Chicago of all charges, recommending only that famed, liberal English Professor Robert Morss Lovett be dismissed as "not loyal to the spirit or letter of the constitution of Illinois or the U. S."—ED.
