Supported Loyalists in Spanish War
President Graham admits that he
gave active support to the so-called
"Loyalists" of Spain which, in the fi
nal breakdown, -were uncovered as a
Communist organization backed by
Russia. In the final days of the Span
ish contest, President Graham signed
a demand upon Congress that the
embargo be lifted so that the Loyal
ists might receive arms from the Unit
ed States and continue the fight which
meant, to fight for the establishment
of Communism in Spain.
President Graham, while a professor
of history, took an active interest in
the textile strike at Gastonia, N. C,
which was staged under Communistic
auspices and with the support of hired
gunmen and thugs from Cincinnati and
New York. He congratulated Nell Bat
tle Lewis upon her success in raising
money for the strikers. The death of
Amy Wiggins, who was mysteriously
shot near the end of the strike, was re
grettable but she did not live in a mill
village nor was she a mill employee as
stated by Mr. Graham in a verse which
he wrote and published in support of
the strikers.
Dr. Graham's Interest
In the Gastonia Strike
It is now stated that no professor at
Chapel Hill ever uses his class room
for propaganda purposes and yet a for
mer student states that, during the en
tire time of the Gastonia strike, Frank
Graham, who was paid to teach history,
ignored history and spent his class
room periods condemning Gastonia mill
men and upholding the strikers. It was
a Communist strike.
President Graham justifies his of
fering to go bond for Alton Lawrence,
who learned his socialism at Chapel
Hill, by stating that Lawrence was
cleared and it is true that he was clear
ed of a charge of trespass. A member
of the flying squadron, which broke
out the doors and windows of a hosiery
mill at High Point and drove out the
employees, testified that Alton Law
rence urged the attack and accom
panied them within sight of the mill.
As Lawrence did not enter, he could
not be convicted of trespass. President
Graham says, that he would go bond
for any graduate of Chapel Hill but the
only instance on record seems to be
that of a socialist product who accom
panied a flying squadron while on its
way to commit unlawful acts.
The Birmingham Resolutions
There were two resolutions passed
in Birmingham in connection with the
meeting to which President Graham
refers. His organization passed a reso
lution condemning Birmingham for
having an ordiance which did not per
mit Negroes to be seated beside white
people in a convention and then the
City Council of Birmingham passed a
resolution expressing the hope that the
organization, over which Frank Gra
ham had just been elected to preside,
would never again foul Birmingham
with its presence. Social equality with
Negroes is one of the tenets of Com
munism. I believe in fair treatment for
Negroes but agree with many of their
leaders that it is for the best interest
of the Negroes for each race to have
its own activities and its own social af
fairs. Professor E. E. Ericson of the Uni
versity took dinner in a Negro hotelll
at Durham with a Negro Communist.
If he had been at any other Southern
university except the University of
North Carolina, it is a safe bet that
he would have been fired but under
President Graham he has been promot
ed and had his salary increased. When
a man named Gibson was jailed at
Rutherf ordton, N. C, for urging a rev
olution and for offering to furnish
money and ammunition for a revolu
tion, his first act was to wire Professor
Ericson at Chapel Hill to arrange bond
for him.
Doesn't Say Graham
Is a Communist
President Graham has admitted af
filiation with the "International Fel
lowship of Reconciliation" which upon
its letterhead declares that its mem
bers should
Aim at the replacement of capital
ism by a system of collective own
ership . . . study the experiment
of Soviet Russia in relation to the
class struggle.
In universities, schools and the
home, seek to establish in children
and youth a mind set free enough
to criticize the present social or
der ...
I have never said, nor do I now
say, that President Frank Graham is
a Communist nor do I believe that he
is, but it is unfortunate how often he
has been found affiliated with Com
munists and with the promotion of
their doctrines. If there be any who
can refute the connections enumerat
ed above, let them do so.
"Trojan Horses" at Chapel Hill
Not wishing to take up too much
space, I will confine affiliation of
"Fifth Columnists" with the radical
group at Chapel Hill.
Paul Blanshard, who was for many
years a regular visitor at the Univer
sity of North Carolina, was a "Fifth
Columnist" during the firsj; World War,
and was arrested for disloyal activi
ties in connection with munition plants.
In an address to his own organization,
Paul Blanshard said:
' "Our hope is in the next genera
tion of workers. We must educate
the young. We must peg into the
minds of the young while they
are plastic. We must BRING TO
v THE COLLEGES the most pro
vocative speakers obtainable."
His associate, Mary Hillyer of New
York, went each Fall to Chapel Hill
to assist professors in making out the
li3t of speakers who were to address
students. I have objected to many of
those selected under her supervision.
Bertrand Russell, who was a "Fifth
Columnist" in England and served a
term in jail for disloyal activities, was
also a visitor and lecturer. After one
of Bertrand Russell's lectures on free
love, a student wrote in the Daily
Tar Heel:
"His (Bertrand Russell) ideas '
appeared felicitous and acceptable
because they were the ideas most
of us hold but either cannot or
are afraid to express."
Norman Thomas is another "Fifth
Columnist" who was a frequent visi
tor to Chapel Hill. Mr. Thomas calls
himself a Socialist, but when he was
nominated for President, the delegates
waved red flags and sang. "The Inter
nationale" of Russia. A section f a
song they sang said:
"Let the Red army, then
Grip their bayonets with cal
loused hands,
All of us must march relent
lessly into the last gory
battle.
We will fan the flames
. Of the world conflagration.
We will raze churches and
prisons to . the ground."
Norman Thomas was in 1919 named
by the U. S. Department of Justice as
one of those who controlled Red organ
izations or obstructionists during the
first World War, which means that he
was definitely a "Fifth Columnist."
What They Did in Wisconsin
The Board of Regents of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, unlike the Trust
ees of the University of North Caro
lina, refused to shut its eyes to charges
that Communistic teachings were per
mitted and encouraged, and appoint
ed a committee to investigate. The re
port says:
"Your committee found that, j
for several years past, the Uni
versity was advertised extensively
as an ultra-liberal institution, in
- which Communistic teachings were
encouraged and where avowed
Communists were allowed to
spread their doctrines with the per
mission of the administration of .
the University.
"Your committee investigated,
these reports and found they were
true to the extent that they were
a matter of common knowledge.
Meetings of local chapters of na
tional and international Commu
nistic societies were held in Uni
versity halls."
A false idea of loyalty to the Uni
versity would be a bar to any such re
port in North Carolina, but I contend
that a man should be allowed to advo
cate the removal of a cancer from the
body of his mother without being ac
cused of making an attack upon her.
Radical Group Small but Dangerous
The radical group of professors at
Chapel Hill is small, but in my opinion,
constitutes a cancer not only upon the
university but upon North Carolina.
No such group now exists at any other
Southern university or college.
Parents of Chapel Hill students
have many letters telling of efforts
of professors and instructors to instill
into such students doctrines of aethe-
ism, Socialism and Communism and
I have been shown many such letters,
in confidence, but any student who dar
ed testify would be accused "of disloy
alty. Mr. Pridgen cannot deny that he
recently read a letter from a Chapel
Hill student to his mother and that the
statements were stronger than any
thing I have charged.
They say that no professor ever uses
his. class for propaganda purposes,
but no one cares to explain why, the
following appeared in the Daily Tar
Heel:
"Arnold Williams, who is re
membered on this campus for the
introduction of Communist theory
into freshman English courses, has
left the University for a position
on the faculty of the Missouri
School of Mines."
The Daily Tar Heel charges that
a man who was paid to teach English
devoted, at least, part of his time to
selling Communism to freshmen, but
apparently nothing was done about it.
Give Up Affiliation With Radicals
x President Frank Graham could, in
my opinion, render a greater service
to North Carolina, and to the Uni
versity, if he would cease his affilia
tions with radicals and radical groups
and devote himself to the duties for
which he is paid.
It may be that now that the affilia
tions and "fifth column" activities, of
many of those who have been frequent
ly on the Chapel Hill campus, but were
not received at any other Southern in
stitution, are being exposed, he may
take a different view.
The radical group at Chapel Hill
have been very shrewd in building a
defense for themselves and their activi
ties. When they are attacked they cry
aloud that the University itself is be
ing attacked and use the loyalty of stu
dents and alumni as a defensive weap
on. Professor Woodhouse organized a

cals and then points to a few corT
tives. Many are credulous enough t
believe that he was only interested t
obtaining speakers. 3
The People Awaken to the Danger
Fortunately the danger which Bo
confronts the United States is awak
ening the people to "fifth column
tivities and they are examining
connections and records of many of
those who have been such welcome
visitors at Chapel Hill and who have
been introduced to students with work
of commendation and praise
The day is at hand when many
of those who have been furnished
soap boxes at Chapel Hill will g3
into hiding or may be placed in
detention.
Congressman Dies has definitely
stated that he will investigate the rad
icals at Chapel Hill and in spite of the
thick coat of whitewash applied by
Mr. Pridgen, I still assert that eve
charge I have made, and more, will be
found true.
P. S. Since the above was written
students at Chapel Hill have staged
what is stated to be a "faculty-led"
rally for the announced purpose of
"Keep the United States Out of War''
and charging President Roosevelt with
"stirring up an emotional panic."
For ten years or more, certain men,
fully aware that both Russia and Ger
many were building great military
machines, have been working to keep
the United States from armine: and
they are largely responsible for the de
fenseless position in which we find
ourselves today.
