Editor and Publisher charges that the WoodRankin committee investigation of "opinion expressed in paid advertising copy"-for this committee investigated an advertisement in New York because it criticized the committee-"amounts to intimidation" and is "an attempt to control thought." It comments further. "If through such activities a branch of Congress can label such opinion good or bad. right or wrong. it need not go much further to do the same with thenow free editorial expressions in our newspapers." The pattern is wrong. the pattern of the WoodRankin committee. The pattern is that any organization which is trying to fight for democracy in America becomes suspect in the eyes of this strangelyadjusted committee. Yes. the committee appears very sympathetic with any organization which seems to uphold fascism but very critical of any organization which seems to oppose fascism. Whom have they investigated? The Joint AntiFascist Refugee Committee. an organization attempting to do something for the refugees from fascism in Europe. The American Committee for Spanish Freedom. also. Why?
