PREFACE

“As a service to our fellow countrymen at a time when the

menace of International Communism is becoming more real with

every passing hour the National Council of Catholic Men in coop-

eration with the National Broadcasting Company presents .

So began each program in the special Catholic Hour September

Series OPERATION SURVIVAL.

The National Council of Catholic Men produced this timely

series of programs, not only on behalf of the many patriotic organi-

zations affiliated with it, but also on behalf of all Americans who

see the threat of Communism “not only to religion but to all we

Americans hold dear in our way of life.”

The entire Radio Apostolate as carried on by NCCM is de-

pendent upon the generous contributions of interested friends and

listeners therefore, we made a special appeal to American Catho-

lics to share in supporting the purposes of this series by helping to

defray the costs of production through their voluntary contributions,

no matter how small.

Operation Survival was Your program, and the program of all

who were kind enough to give what they could, so that the Church
s

voice might be heard throughout this wonderful country of ours,

exposing to the ears of all who listened, the terrible history of

atheistic Communism.

We are particularly grateful to the members of the Forensic

Commission, Chicago Region, National Federation of Catholic
Col-

lege Students at the Fournier Institute of Technology,
Lemont, Illi-

nois, who conceived the idea for the program ; to Ray Schaaf, Robert

Arzbaecher, officers, and Rev. Francis T. Williams of the Viatorian

Fathers, moderator of the Commission.

We also extend grateful appreciation to the following people

for the help they gave in making the series so successful: Rev.
John

F. Cronin, S.S., Assistant Director, Social Action
Department,

NCWC and Mr. Karl Baarslag, Director of Research, Americanism

Committee, The American Legion, for reading all scripts and
for

offering many excellent suggestions for strengthening the assembled

data used; to Harry Junkin of NBC, our director; to Robert Healey

who wrote the scripts; to Dr. Roy Shield who composed and
con-

ducted the music; to the casts of each program, sound
effects men,

studio engineers and, in short, every single individual
who helped

make the series a success.

I extend also, heartiest congratulations to our
National Staff



who had to virtually double their already
order to put this whole series over.

overwhelming work in

That it was successful is a tribute to great American teamwork
trom start to finish—and we thank the good God for giving us the
grace to see it through.

UP AND UNDER:)

Communism is a threat not only to religion, but to all

we Americans hold dear in our entire way of life. As

a service to our fellow countrymen at a time when the

menace of International Communism is becoming more

and more real with every passing hour, the National

Council of Catholic Men, in cooperation with the

National Broadcasting Company, presents, on the

CATHOLIC HOUR, a special series of four documen-

tary programs on Communism entitled OPERATION

SURVIVAL. This is chapter one ... SPECTRE

OVER EUROPE.

UP AND UNDER)

My name’s Karl Marx. Ever heard of me? You must

at least have heard of me as an idea—an idea called

Communism. You see I’m the father of Communism.

STING!)

I and my ideas are a hundred and thirty-two years old

now, and with the help of Stalin, hope to live a few

years more. But before I was born a couple of impor-

tant things happened to Europe. You probably studied

them in the history books and immediately forgot

them. One of them was the French Revolution. It was

a revolt of the people—not communists—just people.
In 1789 their leaders drew up a Declaration of rights

which said among other things :—that “Men were
born free, with equal rights,” that “Social distinction

could only be based on usefulness to the Community,”

that “The goal of all civil association was the pro-

tection of the natural and inalienable rights of men

—

liberty, property, security and resistance to oppres-

sion.” But some of the people in the French Revolu-

tion had other ideas.

I’ll cut him down myself with this dagger.

So what had happened? The French people had re-
volted and they ended up under the dictatorship of
Napoleon Bonaparte. It takes a special technique to
set up a dictatorship. Napoleon knew how to do it.
I admit I learned a lot from him.

UP SLIGHTLY:)

And the other important thing which happened to

Europe before I was born was the Industrial Revolu-

tion. You're used to machines. You have them all

around you ... You couldn't do without them. But

remember, at one time, no one knew what a machine

looked like. It started quietly, almost by accident . . .

(INDUSTRIAL MONTAGE UP . . . WHISTLE

(QUIETLY) But machines meant men—men to tend
them, men to dig the coal, dig the canals, men to stoke

the jaws of the monster machines. And not only men,

but women and children. In the mining villages, in the

crowded factory towns, there was desolation and in-

security. This was good because discontent thrives on

insecurity and—Communism thrives on discontent.
. . .)

Keep these two things in mind—the French Revolution
and the Industrial Revolution. They're in the back-

ground of my revolution, the Marxian Revolution, a
sort of setting for the birth of Communism. The point

is, I grew up into a world of bourgeois guns, bourgeois

machines and bourgeois ideas. Of all the millions in
Europe, I was called upon to destroy that world. My
father was very ambitious for me. He wanted me to
study law. But I was more interested in philosophy.
He would pace up and down, arguing and arguing
with me.

You have to make some sort of career Karl and law’s

MARX: But I’m not interested in law, father.

What are you interested in? Where do you think
you’re heading?

MARX: I want to work for the welfare of humanity.

FATHER: That’s all very well, Karl, but you’ll have to earn a
living, especially if you marry Jenny.

MARX: Jenny and I will manage, don’t worry. I have to work
out my own philosophy, whatever the consequences.

FATHER: Son, son, you have a crazy sort of genius. You’ll lead
yourself and others astray. Why not settle down quiet-
ly and . . .

MARX: Please try to understand. I can’t do things that way.

FATHER: I’m getting too old to understand. I get frightened
when I think of what may happen to you . . .

(MUSIC: UP AND UNDER)

MARX: Well, a great deal happened, but it took time. First of
all, I took a degree in philosophy in 1841. I needed a

job and I wanted to marry Jenny. I’d known Jenny all
my life and she understood the situation.

(MUSIC: FADES OUT)

JENNY: I don’t mind waiting a while longer, it’s just that . . .

MARX: Just what, Jenny?

JENNY: I thought you’d be able to teach after you got your
degree.

all society.

Would they, Karl?

They might, if you carry them a few steps further.
And I intend to.

But you can’t go on studying all your life.

I can write. There’s a liberal paper in Cologne. They
need articles. Don’t worry, liebchen, it won’t be too

long.

BRIDGE)

In a matter of months, I was editor of that paper in
Cologne. I was busy—^very busy—there was always
a stream of visitors when I wanted to get some work
done. One day, and unannounced, a very well-dressed
young man came up to my desk.

Here was the most important person in my life and I

Soon afterwards, Jenny and I were married, but we

were exiled as radicals first to Paris, then to Brussels.

I came across some articles Engels had written on the

British economy. We began to correspond. Whenever
he was in Brussels he often came to visit Jenny and

me in our miserable little room.

Don^t get up, Karl. Pll answer it.

It’s Friedrich ...

Hello, Jenny

Come in. You look worn out.

Everytime I climb those stairs, I say never again. But

always here is Friedrich back to you.

Sit down, sit down. I have some new ideas for you.

Ideas, ideas, don’t you ever rest, Karl. Well, that’s

why I come. What is it now.

I think it’s all beginning to fit together. Your work

on the English factories has opened my eyes.

I’m glad. You had a tendency to think of the worker

as someone without a real face. I can help you see

him as a real person with flesh and blood—someone
who lives and suffers.

And that will be a large part of it. But here’s the

general conclusion I’ve worked out. What do you think

of it? That all history is a succession of struggles

between the exploiting and exploited classes.

In other words, the opposition of Hegel.

Hegel! Hegel! Of course, the dialectical method is

HegeTs, but he’s up in the clouds. He shows us that

all history is the working out of opposites, but he

thinks all material things are reflections of an idea.

He starts with the idea. We’ll start with the material

fact and show that all ideas are reflections of material

things.

Excellent . . . Then all thought, all action, all philoso-

phy, all religion can be reduced to material facts. Then

all feeling, beauty, moral values are illusions. It de-

velops, Karl. Go on.

Now let’s apply Hegel’s dialectical method, which we
both accept, plus our new conception of the basic

material fact, to history. What’s the present state of

man ?—a bourgeois society of capitalists and ex-
ploiters. What is its opposite?

The worker, the proletariat.

The exploited. Exactly. Inevitably there’ll be a con-

flict between them . . .

. . . which must result in the synthesis of communist

society, when the working class takes over the fac-

tories.

It becomes an inevitable, dynamic process.

Now don’t stay up all night talking . . . And look,
you’ve filled the room with tobacco smoke already . . .

Jennichen, you worry about the time and a room filled

with smoke when Friedrich and I are worrying about

the inevitable course of history.

It’s inevitable Karl. Yes. But it may be necessary for

us to give history a little push.

BRIDGE AND UNDER)

For the moment history seemed to be with us. The

Communist League was formed in 1847. Engels and

I were asked to draw up a manifesto. It was a good

chance to get all our ideas down on paper. Engels did

a draft. I polished it up a little. He came to talk

about it.

I’m copying out the whole thing fresh. There, take a

(PAPER RUFFLE)

“A spectre is haunting Europe, the spectre of
Communism.” That’s a much better opening, Karl.
Then we go along through our analysis of history and
the present state of European society with our pro-
gram for revolutionary action.

This way we can break once and for all with these
idealists who think they can help the proletariat
within the framework of existing society.

Right. From now on our brand of socialism will be
neither utopian nor idealistic, but plainly and simply
scientific, a doctrine of planned revolution. Now how
about that last paragraph. Is it too strong ?

(RUFFLE PAPER)

Let’s have another look at it. (READING) “The
Communists disdain to conceal their view and aims.
They openly declare that their ends can be attained
only by a forcible overthrow of all existing social
conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a com-
munistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing
to lose but their chains. They have a world to gain.
Working men of all countries, unite!” (REPEAT
IT . . .) Too strong, Karl? This will set up a vibration
to shake the world.

CRASH AND DESCENDING UNDER:)

That very year, 1848, insurrections broke' out in
France, in Italy, in Germany, in Austria-Hungary. For
a few brief moments, the flames of revolution filled the
sky, flickered and then died. All the insurrections were
failures. Engels and I had to revise our strategy on
the coming revolution of the proletariat.

FADE OUT)

All the proletariat did was pull the bourgeoisie’s
chestnuts out of the fire.

Maybe we’re trying to get at it too quickly. Perhaps
we should wait for the right moment. Meantime, we’ll

place our analysis of Economic society on a firm

foundation. We’ll write. We’ll publish, (pause) And

we did ... In 1859—I published the Critique of Poli-
tical Economy. Darwin’s Origin of the Species came

out that year, too. Darwin was doing for natural

science what I was doing for the structure of society.

We were finding a firm materialistic basis for all man’s
activity.

STING)

1867—the first volume of Das Kapital, my master
work, appeared. I analyzed England as the classic

example of capitalism. I showed how England was

inevitably heading for proletarian revolution. But

after all my work, nobody seemed to read the book, at
least then. But there were some signs of hope. Small

groups of workers all over Europe were uniting for

action and we expected great things until the defeat

of France by the Germans in 1870. Against my advice

the workers of Paris, which had been besieged by the

Germans, revolted against the new French Provisional

Government.

SEGUI TO)

(EXCITED CROWD BUZZ . . . THEN UNDER)

This bourgeois Provisional Government has betrayed

us to the Germans.

Workers of Paris, unite.

First the Germans, now the Provisional Government

of France is attacking Paris. Defend yourselves,

workers.

(SHOOTING . . . BOMBARDMENT OUT UNDER)

HIT HARD)

But the uprising of the Paris workers failed. The

workers were too lenient with their enemies. The

revolution must be ruthless. To tell the truth, I always

expected to see a revolution of the proletariat in

England or Germany in my lifetime. But nothing
happened. I never had too much hope for Russia . . .

At that moment Lenin, the Marxian revolutionary,
boldly walked on the stage of world history. Let’s
admit it. Engels and I were mere theorists. Lenin was
the real master of practical Marxian policy. He took
our theories and used them as a practical program for
revolution. He was completely devoted to the revolu-
tion. With one will, with one purpose he drove for-
ward. In 1903 he met and solved a major crisis. Some
of the comrades were seeking an easy way out . . .

Henceforth, the majority, the Bolsheviks as deter-

in two years. On January 22, 1905, a vast crowd of the
discontented of St. Petersburg gathered in the square
in front of the Winter Palace. They were loosely or-

HIT AND DOWN B. G. UNDER:)
Communism is a threat not only to religion, but to
all we Americans hold dear in our entire way of
life. As a service to our fellow countrymen at a
time when the menace of International Commun-
ism is becoming more and more real with every

passing hour, the National Council of Catholic

Men, in cooperation with the National Broadcast-

ing Company, presents, on the CATHOLIC HOUR,
a special series of four documentary programs on

Communism entitled OPERATION SURVIVAL.
This is chapter two . . . THE GIANT IS
HARNESSED.

PUNCTUATE & DOWN UNDER)

(LOW AND ROUGH & CONTROLLED) They say
Pm a man of action, not words, and they're right.
When Josef Stalin acts today, the world trembles.
It wasn't always that way. In the early days of

the Russian Revolution, I was in the shadow of

other men. By 1921 we'd consolidated the Revolu-
tion and defeated the counter-revolutionaries in

an exhausting series of civil wars. We'd national-

ized all industry and equalized all wages. But it

wasn't working and there was a serious revolt at

Kronstadt. Lenin put it bluntly at a meeting of

the Politburo.

SEGUE TO SLIGHT RUSTLE OF PAPERS. (A
COUGH OR TWO) (ONLY 5 HERE)

V/e must face these declining production figures.

Comrades. Communism isn't workable at this
stage of Russia's development. We've advanced

too fast. What's the answer?

(INTELLECTUAL TYPE) For one thing, we
should put labor into uniform and absorb the

trade unions right into the government.

Perhaps, Trotsky, but this Kronstadt business is

too serious to be ignored. We have to proceed
more slowly.

We should crush all opposition both outside and
inside the party.

Kamenev’s right. We’ll have to defend the

Bolshevik Revolution from every source of politi-

cal opposition.

That we can do easily, Bukharin. But it still

doesn’t give us food and jobs.

(SOMEWHAT TIMIDLY—GRUFF, NON-IN-
TELLECTUAL) It seems to me that what we
need is some sort of plan.

(A BIT SARCASTIC. LOOKING DOWN HIS
NOSE) Wonderful, Comrade Stalin. Sometimes
I think we Bolsheviks are more surprised than

anyone else to find ourselves in the driver’s seat.

Of course, you have a plan in mind?

(TAKEN ABACK. HURT) Well, not specifically.

Well, how Ibout something like this. (HE’S HAD
IT ALL THE TIME) For the moment we’ll keep
overall control of the bigger industries but encour-

age a little . . . er . . . private enterprise among

the kulaks, the smaller farmers, the smaller in-

dustries.

Our enemies abroad will say we’re admitting

defeat.

Let them, Trotsky. They’ll find out later. Call it

an expedient, but we must get our farms and

factories back on their feet till we’re ready. We’ll

have to train our own technicians, our own per-

sonnel. Meanwhile, I propose a State Economic

Planning Commission to draw up a master plan

for the economy. Any objections? Comments?
Very well, from now on this will be the new econ-
omic policy for Russia. (BUSINESS-LIKE) We

(TOUCH OF CONSPIRATORIAL GLOATING)
Policy, organization, personnel—The three most
important strands of power—^and Lenin called
it drudgery. We’d built up an enormous bureau-

cratic machine to run the Bolshevik Revolution.

Lenin was the driver, but as General Secretary, I

controlled the engine. When Lenin suffered his
first stroke, I alone kept the machine running,

and no one knew it. Except Lenin. He was shrewd
enough to know what was happening, even a Lenin

on the road to death, with his wife Nadya Krup-

skaya faithfully nursing him.

NADYA: You should get some rest.

LENIN: No, please. Pm worried about it again.

NADYA: About what, Ilyitch?

LENIN: The whole business when I die.

NADYA: Let's not talk about that now.

LENIN: We're realists, Nadya. We must face it. I want
the Revolution to fall into capable hands. I'm

worried about Stalin. I may have made a bad
mistake.

NADYA: He seems to be doing an efficient job. He shows no
great signs of ambition.

LENIN: All the more reason to be careful of him, when he
controls so much power. Besides, I'm more than
ever convinced he's not our sort of person at all.

NADYA: (DEFENDING) He's one of our staunchest
Bolsheviks.

LENIN: That's not what I mean. We Russians have always
been torn between the east and the west, between
the ideas of Asia and the ideas of Europe. Trotsky,

for example, looks to the west, but Stalin is com-

pletely Asiatic. He knows nothing about the West,
its ideas, its culture. That could be a tragedy,
Nadya.

NADYA: (GENTLY OPPOSING) The Revolution must
look to Asia, too.

LENIN: But it needn't be Asiatic in its method, its out-
look. Where's that memorandum I wrote last
year?

NADYA: I keep that one locked in the desk.

LENIN: Let me see it again, please.

I’m relying on you to bring it before the Central

Let’s be practical, Krupskaya. We’ve suppressed

religion and the churches and we’ve left a vacuum.

The people cry out for symbols. We may have no
God, but we can still have saints, and who’s more

worthy than Lenin to be the first saint of Com-

During the funeral ceremonies, which lasted six

days, I appeared before the 2nd Congress of the

Soviets and vowed to keep Lenin’s Six Command-

ments. In alliance with Zinoviev and Kamenev

against the plotter Trotsky, I controlled the

Revolution, and still no one knew it. But in May,

as I sat on the steps of the rostrum at the meeting

of the Central Committee, Krupskaya hurled

Lenin’s thunderbolt.

world. First Russia must be strong, then the

world would follow. Meanwhile, the Comintern

would support a Party in every country on the

their political re-education. It worked very success-

After the first Five Year Plan got under way in

1928, I stepped up the speed of industrialization.

It was a vast capital expansion which would some-

day pay huge dividends. Of course, the people

needed food, clothes and housing but instead we

had to expand heavy industry— faster, ever
faster. We had to catch up with the capitalist
nations.

(MACHINE UP FAST AND STRONG . . .

All this had its price. (GETTING TOUGH)
Russians had to tighten their belts and discipline

their minds. Labor had to be taught it had no

agents of the Party. I even had to develop a labor

aristocracy to reward extraordinary efforts.

they stubbornly disagreed with my method: they

had to be liquidated. In a weak moment I had

UP AND UNDER:)

Communism is a threat not only to religion, but to

all we Americans hold dear in our entire way of life.

As a service to our fellow countrymen at a time

when the menace of international communism is

becoming more and more real, with every passing

hour, the National Council of Catholic Men, in

cooperation with the National Broadcasting Com-

pany, presents, on the CATHOLIC HOUR, a special
series of four documentary programs on communism

entitled OPERATION SURVIVAL. This is chapter
three . . . NOW THE WORLD.

PUNCTUATE & DOWN B. G. UNDER)

This isn’t a pleasant story, but it should be told, and

this isn’t the time to be Republican or Democrat

about it, to blame or to criticize. Hindsight is

cheaper than action, expediency easier than moral

courage. In the strange glow of wartime friend-

ship we were high-minded and short-sighted.

Period. That’s it. Willingly or unwillingly we didn’t

recognize the ugly face of world Communism.

PUNCTUATE . . . AND DOWN UNDER)

At quarter past three on Sunday afternoon, Novem-

ber the twenty-eighth, 1943, a short, stocky man

casually walked into a room in Teheran, Persia. He

was dressed in the uniform of a Marshal of the

Russian Army. He smiled at President Franklin D.

Roosevelt.

SEGUE TO A FEW STEPS)

Good afternoon, Mr. President. I thought our first

meeting could be somewhat informal.

Good. I’m glad to see you Marshal Stalin. Please

sit down.

STALIN: Thank you.

There’s nothing to prevent us from discussing any-

the four policemen to guarantee peace in the post-

China? China won’t be very strong when the war’s

Possibly, possibly . . . I’ve just had some talks with
Chiang in Cairo. We’re going to issue a commun-

go back to China after the war . . . and that Korea
will regain its independence.

(GRUNT OF AGREEMENT)

(TACTFULLY) Chiang’s rather anxious about the
Manchurian border.

Yes?

He hopes the Soviet Union will respect China’s
sovereignty in Manchuria.

Mr. President, world recognition of the sovereignty

of the Soviet Union has always been a prime prin-

ciple for me. In turn, I most certainly will respect

the sovereignty of other countries, large and small.

Good! Look, it’s quarter to four. We’d better get

On behalf of His Majesty’s Government, I second
Marshal Stalin.

Thank you. I want to welcome Marshal Stalin, and

the Russian delegation as new miembers of our
family circle.

And for Britain, may I say that in the hands of
those here present lies the happy future of mankind.

I pray they may be worthy of this God-given oppor-
tunity.

I thank the president of the United States for his

words of welcome, and with the Prime Minister of
Great Britain, I too, feel this fraternal meeting

does indeed represent a great opportunity.

Thank you gentlemen. And now to business. First
I’ll outline the American position. We’re fighting

over the far reaches of the Pacific, coming to closer

and closer grips with Japan. For Europe, we’ve

finally set May, 1944 for a cross-channel operation.

The Channel, as you know. Marshal Stalin, is a dis-
agreeable body of water.

And in the past the British people had every reason
to be thankful it was so disagreeable.

In addition, the Prime Minister and I have been
discussing possible operations in Italy, the Adriatic,

the Aegean and a landing in southern France.

The Soviet Union welcomes any successes against
Japan. Once Germany is defeated, we’ll be able to
smash Japan by our common front,

Organization.

His Majesty’s Government associate themselves
with the proposals of the United States on the veto

question. The three great powers shouldn’t assume
the position of rulers of all the rest of the world

without allowing other nations to state their case.

(BELLICOSELY) I’d like to ask Mr. Churchill to
name the power which may intend to dominate the
world. I’m sure Great Britain doesn’t want to. So
one is removed from suspicion. I’m sure the United
States doesn’t want to. So another is excluded.

Union is prepared to accept the veto formula.

Excellent, excellent. Our major issues on the United

In Europe the Russians can easily understand

they’re fighting for their lives. I might find it

difficult to explain to them that the Japanese are

any threat unless . . ,

Yes, yes, unless

—

Unless I could tell the supreme Soviet and the people

that they would be protecting Russia’s postwar

position in the Far East by joining in the Japanese

war.

Russia’s postwar position in the Far East? Which

would mean . . .

I’d like to tell them that southern Sakhalin and the

Kurile Islands will be returned to Russia, that we’ll

have access to Dairen—internationalized if neces-

sary.

But . . .

And I’d like to tell them we’d once more control the

Chinese Eastern and South Manchurian railroads

and have a lease on Port Arthur.

(THINKING IT OVER) Sakhalin, Kurile, Dairen,

in the way of military action.

As I said, I’m prepared to move 25 divisions to Far

Eastern Siberia to attack Japan within three months

after the end of the war against the German in-

vaders.

We’ll need every possible help against Japan . . .

But Chiang-Kai-Shek may object. He may have

his own ideas on some of these points.

Chiang, Chiang. I can’t understand why the

Kuomintang and the Chinese Communists can’t

keep a united front against Japan. Chiang needs

better leaders around him. There are so many

good men in the Chinese Comintern. I didn’t know

why Chiang doesn’t bring them forward.

at war with Japan and the movement of these di-

You know how things leak at Chungking.

Perhaps we could tell him later. But if he still
objects?

May I suggest, Mr. President, that you and Mr.

whole point, providing that these claims of the
Soviet Union shall be unquestionably fulfilled after
the defeat of Japan. I don’t think Chiang will
object too much.

There it is. That’s pretty much the basis for
Stalin’s postwar position in the Far East. We were
interested in winning the war as quickly as pos-
sible. Stalin was already more interested in win-
ning the peace. At Yalta, they also talked about
the peace and what should happen to the liberated
areas of Europe.

We seem to have two governments for Poland,
Gentlemen.

A somewhat awkward situation, Mr. President.

May I point out that the Warsaw Government is
actually functioning in Poland at this moment.

But it represents only one party. All parties should
be represented.

We’re willing to add a few persons who won’t affect
the Soviet Union’s control but we must have friend-
ly governments on our borders.

The world will be reassured if we issue a declaration
calling for the reorganization of the present War-
saw government on a broader democratic basis.

PUNCTUATE & DOWN—)

At Potsdam in July, 1945, the Big Three pledged
themselves once more to free elections in Eastern
Europe and to zonal control of Germany—under
an Allied Control Commission. And Harry Tru-
man, now President of the United States, casually
told the Generalissimo of the Russian Armies that
America had a new bomb.

STING, UNDER AND OUT:)

But the future became more and more unpleasant.
Russian-controlled governments took over Yugo-
slavia. The United States protested. Rumania—
the U. S. protested. Bulgaria—^the U. S. protest-
ed. Poland—the U. S. protested. Then came the
real shock. Czechoslovakia, the stepchild of the
United States, once considered the most democratic
and progressive country of Eastern Europe, became
a Communist satellite state. In a bloodless five-day
revolution in February, 1948, Element Gottwald
forced President Eduard Benes, to form a new
Communist Government. Jan Masaryk became
Foreign Minister, the .same Jan Masaryk who
shouted defiantly after Munich:

(DEFIANT—BIG) The nation of St. Wenceslas,
Jan Hus and Thomas Masaryk will not be a nation
of slaves.

But on February 29, 1948, Jan Masaryk issued the
following statement

:

(AS THOUGH WRITING IT) I will continue to
march with the people. This change was carried
out without bloodshed and our people are and will
remain democratic. Therefore, I trust this new
government.

We were cocky then, your father and I. We didn’t

fear them. We thought they were harmless. I

looked Gottwald in the eye and shouted, “Why do

you think you’re here in Parliament” He looked

me back and screamed, “We’re here to break your

necks.” And he meant it. We laughed it off. Why
didn’t we realize how dangerous they were . . .

I tried to be non-political about it, to be above poli-

tics, as I thought a Masaryk should.

No one can be non-political about it, Honza. And no

one can compromise.

I can’t sit with them tomorrow.

They’re destroying everything we built up.

Funny, isn’t it. You know the sign on our old

newspaper plant. The way it used to blaze out.

in neon lights over the street—Free World. Just as
they seized the paper, the sign went out. Sym-

bolic, I suppose. The free world was in darkness.

And there’s nothing we can do.

I’ve come to my decision, Honza. I’m going to re-

sign. I can no longer be an accomplice at the sec-

ond rape of my country.

At least after Munich, we had some hope.

The Nazis were monsters too, but in a different way.

They tried to wipe out whole villages, whole races,

but it was a physical destruction. You can al-

ways rebuild a Lidice. Now it’s more deadly.

They destroy you morally and spiritually.

So you’re going to resign. How can I face them

tomorrow and lend the name of Masaryk to the

destruction of everything my father believed in.

You must make your own decision. I know I advised

you to come into their government and issue that

statement. I wanted at least one reliable person

around me. I was hopeful till the very end. But

it won’t work, Honza. You must decide for your-

Communism is a threat not only to religion, but to
all we Americans hold dear in our entire way of life.
As a service to our fellow countrymen at a time

when the menace of international communism is

becoming more and more real with every passing

hour, the National Council of Catholic Men, in

cooperation with the National Broadcasting Com-

pany, presents, on the Catholic Hour, a special

series of four documentary programs on Commun-

it. For yourself and your children.

Communist Party in the United States today

That means each of us must sacrifice something of
ourselves, become just a little less selfish. Better to
sacrifice a little than to sacrifice our freedom and

OPERATION SURVIVAL

The only way to stop these Communists is to drop a

few atomic bombs on them. ThaFll show them.

Is that the only way? Bombs kill people, not ideas,

and Communism is a deadly idea. Can it be stamped

out by mere physical destruction ? Okay, so we drop

a few atom bombs and kill off a few hundred thous*

and Russians and m.aybe a few thousand Commun-

ists, because there is a difference. Can we be sure,

can we be morally certain that this would mean

the end of Communism as a dangerous force in the

world ?

One of my teachers says the only way to stop Com-
munism is to make democracy work.

That is a dangerous and very popular argument.

Notice that word ‘only’ . . . the ‘only’ way. Putting

in the ‘only’ means we either have to im.prove demo-

cracy or accept communism. Our plight today is not

a simple either-or proposition, because under no

circumiStances can we accept Communism in Amer-

ica. Let’s put it this way. ‘One’ of the ways to fight

Commmnism is to make democracy work better.

... We have entirely too many Communists run-
ning around loose these days. We even have one at
the office. He’s always spouting about social justice

and all that rubbish. I bet ten to one he’s a commie.

Certainly we have lots of Communists in this coun-

try, and something should be done about them.

J. Edgar Hoover puts the number at 54,000 card-

holding members with ten sympathizers or fellow-

travellers for every party member, and for all

practical purposes they’re Communists, too. That’s

more than half a million people. A pretty formid-
able enemy. Instead of labelling people Communists

just because we disagree with their ideas, we must

learn to recognize the Party line and Party atti-

tudes.

Well, let’s not worry about it too much right now.

But we have to worry about it, mom. We have to
stop being complacent and self-confident. We have
to take down the business as usual signs in the

home, in the factory, in government and politics,

even in religion. Just as Communism rests on

And the argument went on—as these arguments
have a habit of doing. Hugh went on to talk about

the First Amendment. The Communists and their

fellow travellers and a lot of honest, sincere people

like Hugh—-people they’ve duped—spend a lot of
time worrying about it. For different reasons, all

of us should worry about the First Amendment be-

cause it’s one of the keystones of our democratic

society. But does that mean it can be used to pro-

tect those who want to undermine our very exis-

tence? Our society today is the only thing that

gives the First Amendment any meaning. Now just
what is this First Amendment

:

(ON SLIGHT ECHO) Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion, or pro-

hibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the

freedom of speech, or of the press or the right of

the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the

Government for a redress of grievances.

Those are very important rights, of which we as

Americans are proud, for which many of us have

fought and died. But freedom has its limitations,

and freedom must have its responsibilities. In 1919,

But that was 1919. There was no great danger from

Communism then, except as an ominous shadow on
the future. This is 1950, and the danger is clear,

and at any social cost. On August 1,1950 in the

(GAVEL STRIKES TWICE) (CROWD OUT)

In each case the courts must ask whether the grav-

ity of the evil, discounted by its improbability,

justifies such invasion of free speech as is neces-

sary to avoid the danger. The Communists' creed

includes the violent capture of all existing govern-

ments. The only question is . . . how long a govern-
ment having discovered such a conspiracy must

wait. When does the conspiracy become a present
danger. The Communists banked on the fact that
the First Amendment would give them freedom to
make all preparatory steps and in the end the choice
of initiative. The fact is that the Communist con-
spiracy is a perfectly clear danger. We do not under-
stand how one could ask for a more probable danger
unless we must wait 'till the actual eve of hostilities.

We must know our enemy by reading sound news-

We must expose the deceit of our enemy w'herever

We must protect our democracy not only by voting
but by exerting strong control over our govern-

evil; that expediency and appeasement are morally

augural program of the Catholic Hour in the studio of the National

Broadcasting Company, New York City, March 2, 1930.)

Our congratulations and our gratitude are extended to the National

Council of Catholic Men and its officials, and to all who, by their financial

support, have made it possible to use this offer of the National Broad-

casting Company. The heavy expense of managing and financing a

weekly program, its musical numbers, its speakers, the subsequent an-

swering of inquiries, must be met. ...

This radio hour is for all the people of the United States. To our

fellow-citizens, in this word of dedication, we wish to express a cordial

greeting and, indeed, congratulations. For this radio hour is one of

service to America, which certainly will listen in interestedly, and even

sympathetically, I am sure, to the voice of the ancient Church with its

historic background of all the centuries of the Christian era, and with

its own notable contribution to the discovery, exploration, foundation

and growth of our glorious country. . . .

Thus to voice before a vast public the Catholic Church is no light

task. Our prayers will be with those who have that task in hand. We

feel certain that it will have both the good will and the good wishes of

the great majority of our countrymen. Surely, there is no true lover

of our Country who does not eagerly hope for a less worldly, a less

material, and a more spiritual standard among our people.

With good will, with kindness and with Christ-like sympathy for

all. this work is inaugurated. So may it continue. So may it be ful-

filled. This word of dedication voices, therefore, the hope that this radio

hour may serve to make known, to explain with the charity of Christ,

our faith, which we love even as we love Christ Himself. May it serve

to make better understood that faith as it. really is^—a light revealing
the pathway to heaven: a strength, and a power divine through Christ;

pardoning our sins, elevating, consecrating our common every-day duties

and joys, bringing not only justice but gladness and peace to our search-

ing and questioning hearts.
