Our Geajeu "Anti-Communist" Asserts Dr. Walter. L. Nathan, Recent Woman's Club Speaker Peddles What Appears To Be Good Case For Communism And Russia February 0, 10-17. Editor, Dnlly News, Conn.

Sir: You'- Tuesday, February 4 edi- carried a story on the speech Dr. L. Nathan, Ph.D., before tho Nnugatuck Woman's Club the (lay before. This writfr did not see the ad- v.ince announcement on tho spenk- tr, thus perhaps missed a detailed iic'cnuiit who or what Dr. Nathan did besides puddle what un- to be a goud cause for iniinism and Russia.

His speech, ut what appeared in you! paper, sc-emed to be a plea for iympnthy to the Russian causo. Jt in to the Woman's Clulj did not get another speaker to tell cither side of the s-tory nl the same mooting'. although per- hnps 't is Planning for a future meeting for other side of the story. Dr. Nathan very subtly spoke df the concentration camps in Ger- tnuny which ho claims to htivo entered only two days after the American Army.

Why didn't ho then be fair about it and give his listeners an idea of KOSYIG of the torture chambers in the Russian forhaps Dr. Nathan would do well to read the speech of Representative Gwinri in the Congressional Rccoi-d. The congressman "Our IJO.VM (American sol- diiTB) confirm prior estimates of twenty million political opponents or suspects actually murdered outright or deliberately starved in work prison sumps, and np- jjioxiniHtely fil'icfn million more still alive but uncertain of thi- outcome of their prosunt lot virtual prisoners or slave laborers will he. Our boys arc- mystified nr the suKKcNtion that wo nharo our miitary homb secrets with a government that murders its old friends, as well as millions of its own citizens, and still assume it would not drop bombs on stran- KVI-K us if had them," This is not intended as a defense of the Germans, but is just brought out to point out the one-sidodness of Dr. Nathan's speech.

The speaker further went on to state if there is wnr with Kussia, this country would not bo spared the ravages of conflict. Is that 11 threat. Dr. or Just bonn fide advice'. 1 And ho went on, America sl'ou'ul t'or peace.

Dr. Naltian should he shown the copy of Time which stated "those who believe that the only way to prevent the next walls to woo and win Russia's shy and aching heart will have to forjfft muHsive- sf.v of disagreeable facts. They would have to t'jjvKCt. tlie-RuK- Hian denial of rellfclon. tho Rus- nitin territorial expansion since World War the Russian denial of indlvlchml rights In both con- nnc! satellite countries, the character 'the Russian police state, the new Russian five-year plan.

They will have to forget, in Hhort, that Russia isi a totalitarian sta-te." To continue further in the en- of Dr. Nathan, Secretary of War Robert Patterson a stronpr reminder of he said; "In the long run, the greatest measure in prevention of war be the spread of free speech and free press throughout the world. When men are at liberty to j-ive and receive information and to take part in discussion. H-ithout the hands of the -iccrot police on their shoulders, jnd without dread of the knock on the door in the that means start of the journey to the concentration camp, it will do more Minn anything else to prevent a. ruling at the top i browing the manpower and the of jfruat nation into agg-ressive warfare.

When that time comes, we need have no great con- about involvement in war." "We owe-a great deal to Russia," Or. Nathan is quoted as saying, "as two-thirds of the German army was in Russia, with only one third battling the Allies." Did Dr. Nathan mention the. to him, minor detail, that the equipment his Russia was fighting with to a groat extent was furnished by Ametica and Americans, and does he t'or One moment 'think that the boys who gave their lives at Anr.io, Salerno, the Normandie beachhead, the Siegfried line, didn't face the same death that faced the Kus- Incidentally, this writer is under tho impression that -the Allies included Russia, but Dr. Na- I than insists the Russians were fighting one war, and the rest of the countries another.

"Russia needs the Dardanelles as back door to protect the country," snys Dr, Nathan. Has he forgotten that Hitler needed Poland. Norway, Denmark and France "for protection" as he put it, and look what happened to those countries. And just as an afterthought, from whom docs Russia need protection In his discussion of communism. Dr.

Is'athan insists the Russians had no alternative in their effort for release from abject slavery un- cler the Czar. That sounds alright, but it seems to thin writer that they went from slavery under the Cxor to slavery under Communism. "There is no race discrimina- Mun," says Nathan. But did he mention the fact that thousands of political prisoners were sent into labor camps in Siberia because they didn't agree with Communism? Did he mention that Lithuania, a country in its own right before "this war, has been absorbed by Russia and the citi- sent into Siberi.n and northern Russia, and sentenced to hard labor'. 1 And furthermore thai this absorption was against the prin- Gets Atomic Post Traffie Fatalities Reach Record tovL In Connecticut Hartford, Feb.

This wrUer Joes not know whether or not Dr. Nathun was paid for his speech, but it seems to me he should have presented the Woman's Club with a. check for a steely sum for opportunity to jn-esent such Communistic views before gathering of 200 people, arul the resuming number of people who might rand Dr. Nathan's misinformation and falsehoods.
