. TRUMAN’S REMEDY
CURE FOR COMMUNISM Chicago, June 5. The only way the United States could defeat Communism at home and abroad was to produce “more and better democracy," said President Truman in the first major speech on his western tour. Mr. Truman made a strong but indirect attack on the Mundt-Nixon Bill, now before Congress, which would virtually outlaw the Communist Party. He said: "You cannot stop the spread of an idea by passing a law against it. The best weapons with which to fight Communism are laws fulfilling the rights of little men to homes, health, school mg. security, good jobs, fair wages and brakes on inflation. This is the lesson of democracy. These are the goals of abundance. A nation which reaches these goals will never succumb to the evils of Communism.”
