The question is more and more being asked, why not investigate Fascist activities in the United States?
There are good reasons why the congressional committee investigating un-American activities here should take up Fascist propaganda and organization which, documentary evidence shows, has been aggressively spread by Mussolini’s agents among Italians and others in schools, churches and fraternal organizations throughout America. The Fascist agents even maintain a spy system and seek by boycott and other means to punish those conspicuously opposed to Mussolini’s regime.
Activities of Fascist agents have convinced many persons that if the congressional committee investigates Fascist propaganda here it will realize that it is just as much a menace to American institutions as Nazism, which has already received the attention of the committee.
The committee cannot make a complete report oil un-American movements in this country if it leaves out Fascist activities.
