The hundred thousand dollars appropriated by Congress. at the expense of the taxpayers of the United States. was not to buy whitewash for the higherups and those actually responsible. it was instead to investigate socialism and communism as it exists in the United States. It is for that reason that all evidence should be admitted. no matter who the guilty may be. It does not matter whether the offender is Scandinavian. Englishman. Occidential. or Asiatic. Guilt should not be established upon creed or race. but upon such subversive activities with which such creed or race may be connected. A lead to this may be found in hundreds of communistic publications throughout the country.
