Clark Charges
Answers Pridgen's
'Red Menace' Series
By Tim Pridgen
(Charlotte News Staff Writer)
David Clark, Charlotte textile pub
lisher, still alarmed at the Communist
invasion of Chapel Hill and now see
ing evidence of "Fifth Column" activi
ties there, todav makes answer to a
recent series of Charlotte News ar

tides on that subject and takes this
writer to task for whitewashing the
ntl Menace at the University of
North Carolina.
Foregoing the pleasant, if perhaps
futile, business of engaging in argu
ment with Mr. Clark this morning, we
present his letter as is, rather hoping
that resident Frank Graham of the
University, will take him on. If that
fails, then, of course, well have to
take the assignment of showing Friend
Dave where he i3 wrong again. But,
in the meantime Mr. Clark:
I read with interest the report which
T. M. Pridgen made after his visit to
the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill and was especially inter
ested in his statement that while there
were radical forces in the faculty, they
were balanced by the activities of pro
fessors interested in conservatism but
he failed to mention any who did bat
tle against the efforts of those in
terested in atheism, socialism and Com
munism. It is true that, at least 75 per cent
of the faculty attend strictly to the
teaching duties for which they are
paid and have no affiliation with prop-
aganda efforts of any Kina out
the slightest evidence was offered by
Mr. Pridgen to sustain his favoraDie
conclusions.
Sees Significance. In Olympic Protesl
President Frank Graham is reported
by Mr. Pridgen as saying - that he
signed the protest against allowing
American athletes to participate in
the 1936 Olympic Games in Germany
because the Hitler Government had
mistreated the Jews and Catholics in
Germany.
I am just as much against Hitler as
Frank Graham, but it is significant
that just prior to the time President
r.rfcm aimed the protest, the Hit
ler Government had done the only good

Hitler Overshadowed
By Stalin's Crimes
I certainly condemn Hitler for his
treatment of the Jews and Catholics
but nothing Hitler did compares to the
crimes which Stalin committed in Rus
sia in order to establish himself as a
Dictator.
For every Jew or Catholic killed in
Germany thousands, including many
army officers, were shot in Russia
without trial. For every Jew or Cath
olic placed in a detention camp in Ger

in Siberia. Apparently Frank Gra

giving of the exams, announced yes

the exams another chance, the Gen

tests just before registration time
next fall. Those students who should
take it at that time will be notified.
Failure to show up will result either
in the prevention of registration or
the taking of still another test and
the fine of five dollars for late reg
istration. Those who take the test
on time will be fined a dollar unless
they have a valid excuse for missing

Just prior to President Graham's
sponsorship of the effort to give Amer
ican boys and girls an opportunity to
learn Communism in Russia, Dictator
Stalin had put to death, without trial,
thousands of the people of his coun
try and in addressing a group of visit
ing American Communists had said :
I think that the moment is not
far off when a revolutionary crisis
will be unleashed in America,
and when that revolutionary crisis
comes in the United States, it will
mark the end of world capitalism.
The Communist Party of the Unit
ed States must be armed to be able
to meet this historical moment and
to head the forthcoming class war.
Robert Ripley of "Believe-It-Or
Not" fame and whose statements are
never disproved, had visited Russia
and said:
In a single year 1932 four
million peasants died of starvation
in the Urkaine and North Cauca
sus the most fertile part of all
Russia.
Starvation in Russia is not due
to crop f ailures it is a man-made
famine. The Soviet Government
deliberately caused this ghastly
chaos by robbing the farmers of
their grain in order to sell it in
foreign countries and acquire for
eign currency.
Professor L. Tarassevich, noted Rus
sian sociologist, had said in an official
report to the League of Nations, that
30,000,000 Russians had starved to
death since the country turned j Com
munistic That astounding figure had
been sustained by Fridtjof Nansen,
head of the world organization of the
Red Cross and delegate of the League
of Nations to Russia.
President Frank Graham says that
he was so perturbed by Germany's
treatment of the Jews and Catholics
that he was unwilling to permit a few
Americans to participate in athletic
contests in Germany but with all of the
above information about Russia be

School of Moscow University and en
