Wallace CryptoCommunist

Churchill Says

(Rec. 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, April 18. The former American Vice-President (Mr Henry Wallace) was a cryptoCommunist, said the Grand Master of the Primrose League (Mr Churchill), addressing a league conference. Mr Wallace had foregathered with “a happily small minority of cryptoCommunists,” who were making a dead set at the British foreign policy which Mr Bovin pursued with the support of nine-tenths of the House of Commons. Mr Churchill defined a cryptoCommunist as “one who has not the moral courage to explain the destination for which he is making.” He continued: “I travel about a certain amount myself, but have made it a rule when abroad never to criticise or attack the Government of this country. “I have no patience with Englishmen who use the hospitality of a friendly nation to decry their own.”

Wallace Claims Right-

To Speak His Mind

(Rec. 11 a.m.) STOCKHOLM, April 18. Mr Henry Wallace, former VicePresident of the United States, describing himself to a Swedish audience as an “American capitalist or progressive Tory,” said the United Nations and UNESCO Charters entitled him to speak his mind outside America. Americans who were suggesting that his passport should be taken away had the “same type of intellect as those who suggested that the Russians were responsible for the Texas City disaster.” Electoral Court
