As far as the Redbaiting: REPORT ON THE HONOLULU RECORD 11
Frank Marshall Davis author of a regular weekly column in the
Honolulu Record entitled "Frankly Speaking." Mr. Davis' column
defends Communists and attacks capitalism with the same vigor as
columns appearing regularly in the Daily Worker and other frankly
Communist publications. Typical of Mr. Davis' remarks are the
following :
Democracy today lies weak and slowly dying from the poison administered
by the divident doctors in Washington and Wall Street who have fooled a trusting
public into believiag that they are the specialists who would save us from the
dread diseases of socialism and communism * ♦ * They hope to hand us
fascism disguised as the healed democracy (Honolulu Record, July 28, 1949, p. 8).
Mr. Davis constantly defended the 11 top United States Communist
officials recently convicted in New York on charges of conspiracy to
advocate the overthrow of the Government by force and violence.
One of Mr. Davis' comments on the case was as follows :
I feel strong sympathy for the Communist minority who are being oppressed
for their political beliefs (Honolulu Record, October 20, 1949, p. 6).
When Mr. Davis' column first appeared in the Record in May 1949,
the Record boasted that the author was a member of the national
executive board of the Civil Rights Congress. The organization is
cited as Communist by Attorney General Tom Clark as well as by the
Committee on Un-American Activities. Mr. Davis has signed a
number of statements in behalf of Communists under the sponsorship
of the Civil Rights Congress; one of these defended was Gerhart
Eisler, notorious Communist international agent who escaped jailing
for passport fraud by fleeing to the Soviet sector of Germany. http://www.archive.org/stream/report...0unit_djvu.txt
