The eVbnts o f the week recording the fail of France brings the European situation home closer to the American people than the fail of the smaller powers, many of Whicit fell due to trsitorship. within their own govern­ ment ranks, » For years Communismhas been bor­ ing into every form of government on the globe through officialdom unfsith* ful to their paths and backed, far “ijp- tdhgencia”,' that baa been known to spread the doctrine of Russia through our schools and colleges, Many of our most important governmental posts have been filled by known Communists from Harvard University,the cultured center for the Btalip form of govern­ ment. To bring the critical situation Home to Greene countycitizens Judge Frank Jj. Johnson, of the Court o f Common Pleas has issued the following state­ ment: “No doubt the fall of France was accomplishednotonly by the effective­ ness of the German war machine, but also, by treachery within- Franco, of many of her own citizens. ' “ The Germans may never get as far as America. We hope they don’t. But if they do, we should he preparednot pnly for them but, also, we should he prepared against any- disloyalty^ on the part of any of our own citizens,” which is only a polite name for traitor, anda demandhas beenmadefor a law to bo passed to deal with them; but there has been on the statute books of 1 he .State of Ohio for many years a law which covers the situation. The statute in question, Section 12;392, provides: ^ f ‘Whoever levies war against this State or the United States OR KNOWINGLY ADHERES TO THE ENEMIES OF EITHER GIVING THEM AID AND COMFORT is guilty of treason,against the State of Ohio, and shall be imprisoned in the peni- ■ lentiary during life.” Section 12,393 -provides: “Whoeyer having knowledge, that any person has committed or is about » commit treason wilfully omits oru fateonatkn Jtafetof to the Governor, a Judge of this State, or the President pf the United States, Is guilty of treason, and alull be im­ prisoned fa the penitentiary-not less than ten years or more than twenty years.” “ This does' not mean that neighbor should.spy upon neighbor or report mete rumors or hearsay, but if any­ one has substantial evidence that any­ one is committing any -of the acts within the above section, then they should report the matter, to me at once, and the Grand Jury will be call-; ed and the offenders given swift justice.

In the Tuesday News Dispatches there Was carried an item that a state ment in defense of civil liberties Ofthe Communist party had been signed by iWenty-one members Of the faculty and administrative officers o f Antioch' College, Yellow Springs. The state­ ment among othet* things is alleged tq lave Contained the following: .. “We are not Communists and we are not concerned at this moment with the merits or demerits o f the doctrines advocated by Communists, We are interested only in the indis­ putable merits of our American tradi­ tion of free' speech”. This in my opinion is an outrageous statement on the part of the persons who msde and signed it. The “mo­ ment” referred to Is the present which may be one o f th* most Crucial mo­ ments fa American history, Yet per­ sons Who are molding the Uvea, thoughts and souls o f young Ameri­ cans are hot concerned in the teach­ ing o f the Communist party, whatever that teaching may be, even though it may go so far as to*teach the over­ throw of our American Way of Gov- ermVient and our face institutions. In every Communist government fro* speech is banned— the very thing they say they want. Under the law w* only have a right to free speech as long as it does not hurt someone. For instance, a person has no right to exercise |free speech to the extent that i f spreads a libel or slander against a person, and no person lias a right to fra* speech to the extent, that it undermines or ad­ vocates the overthrow o f our Ragmtdie.
