The Communist Vision Is The Vision Of

Men Who Sincerely Abhorred The Word Communism In The Pursuit Of Common Ends Found That They Were Unable To Distinguish Communists From Themselves…. For Men Who Could Not See That What They Firmly Believed Was Liberalism Added Up To Socialism Could Scarcely Be Expected To See What Added Up To Communism. Any Charge Of Communism Enraged Them Precisely Because They Could Not Grasp The Differences Between Themselves And Those Against Whom It Was Made.

My Children, As Long As You Live, The Shadow Of The Hiss Case Will Brush You. In Every Pair Of Eyes That Rests On You, You Will See Pass, Like A Cloud Passing Behind A Woods In Winter, The Memory Of Your Father - Dissembled In Friendly Eyes, Lurking In Unfriendly Eyes.

I See In Communism The Focus Of The Concentrated Evil Of Our Time.

On A Scale Personal Enough To Be Felt By All, But Big Enough To Be Symbolic, The Two Irreconcilable Faiths Of Our Time - Communism And Freedom - Came To Grips In The Persons Of Two Conscious And Resolute Men.

A Witness, In The Sense That I Am Using The Word, Is A Man Whose Life And Faith Are So Completely One That When The Challenge Comes To Step Out And Testify For His Faith, He Does So, Disregarding All Risks, Accepting All Consequences.
