At The End Of All This, Russia

The Cio Put Up Half A Million Dollars For Roosevelt's 1936 Campaign And Provided Him With An Immense Group Of Active Labor Workers Who Played A Large Part In The Sweeping Victory He Won At The Polls.

But No One Can Praise Roosevelt For Doing This And Then Insist That He Restored Our Traditional Political And Economic Systems To Their Former Vitality.

All That Is Needed To Set Us Definitely On The Road To A Fascist Society Is War. It Will Of Course Be A Modified Form Of Fascism At First.

I Think We Have To Be Fair In Saying At This Point That Neither Roosevelt Nor Lewis Realized The Peril To Which They Were Exposing Both The Unions And The Country.

No Matter What The Cause, Even Though It Be To Conquer With Tanks And Planes And Modern Artillery Some Defenseless Black Population, There Will Be No Lack Of Poets And Preachers And Essayists And Philosophers To Invent The Necessary Reasons And Gild The Infamy With Righteousness. To This Righteousness There Is, Of Course, Never An Adequate Reply. Thus A War To End Poverty Becomes An Unanswerable Enterprise. For Who Can Decently Be For Poverty? To Even Debate Whether The War Will End Poverty Becomes An Exhibition Of Ugly Pragmatism And The Sign Of An Ignoble Mind.
