You have example after example of this kind of action coming from the UnAmerican Activities Committee. not because of any vicious Intention. but because the powers granted this committee are too broad. too sweeping. But I think in this instance the committee has even exceeded the authority we delegated to it. The Joint AntiFascist Refugee Committee is a relief organization to assist persecuted men and women who fought for Republican Spain. It may well be that some of these refugees are -Communists. But the relief of suffering all over the world cannot and must not depend on the political beliefs of the sufferers. It Is legitimate for organizations to raise funds even for our late enemies.
