Editor:
The three undersigned students have some comments to make on
the reprint of "Communism Exposed," published by the United States
Chamber of Commerce, which you ran on the editorial page of the
issue of Tuesday, October 12, 1948:
Your's and the Chamber of Commerce's approach to the current
problem of communism is apparently a negative one. It ferociously
attacks the believers in the Marxist adherents without giving a posi
tive way in which to defeat their ideas and principles. Presumably
you, like most intellectual and learned individuals, do not favor the
use of violence to eradicate an idea from the face of the earth. Be
cause you have failed to be constructive, allow us to be.
If, as you point out, the Communists can gain the support of
prominent people by appealing to their desire to bring about peace,
democracy and social reform then it must be true that we do not
have peace, democracy nor much needed social reforms. So it
would not seem wise, therefore, that as a constructive program to
compete with that of the Communists we embark, as a nation ,on a
program that would insure a lasting world peace; attempt, as a
nation, to insure democracy for all, regardless of race and religion,
first within our own nation so that we could really boast of a working
poitical democracy which would be impregnable from criticism; and
wouldn't it also be advisable to have us, once again as a nation, work
out social reforms .that would eliminate the sore of Jim Crowism,
unemployment, inadequate housing, and the other social injustices
which the Communists, you would have us believe, thrive on. It
wolud seem to many of us that this type of-concrete program would
be more constructive and even more democratic than your own nega
tive, discriminatory, anti-Communist policy.
And the Chamber of Commerce and those which reprint its
viciousness have a lesson to learn. Being anti-Communist is not
enough Hitler, Franco, and Chiang Kai-Shek are violently anti-
Communist, but they are certainly, or in the case of Hitler, were
certainly, not pro-Democratic. Our nation must learn that in fight
ing the Communism which we dread we can not afford to ally our
selves with the totalitarians of China, Greece, Spain, and Turkey,
which we are currently doing. i
If we are to eliminate the Communist front organizations we
must eliminate the evils on which they thiive, the insecure peace,
the lack of complete democracy, and the ne 1 for social reform. We
must be positive in our approach we mu&i build rather than tear
down. Let us not use the anti-communist issue to dodge having
to be constructive.
In closing let us point out that not even Attorney General Clark
had the audicity to place the name of the Progressive Citizens of
America on his subversive or un-American activity lists. Your im
plications in this field are of course libelous, but here again, let us
not resort to petty name calling, but let us evaluate what these or
ganizations are attempting to do and when we find meritorious sug
gestions, let us accept them. Even the Communist Party has some
concrete suggestions which deserve consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
Kenneth D. Lindquist

(Ed. Note: The Daily Nebraikan policy in retard to letterips is
to limit soch letters U 30f words because of our obvious need for
space. However, in this case of our "old friend", Mr. Berman, we
decided U waive the ruling-. But in the future, no letters of more
than 399 words will be printed. We trust that letter-writers will re
member this. Incidentally, all the views expressed in the Chamber
of Commerce article do not necessarily represent the views of The
Daily Nebraskan staff.)
Tree Near EE Bu tiding
Marks Teacher 's Grave
The grave of a great Univer
sity of Nebraska builder. Dr.
James Thomas Lees, lying within
a stone' throw of the Electrical
Engineering building, being con
structed, is frequently used by
unsuspecting students as a place
to sit for a quick cram session. '
Before he died. Dr. Lees, who
had served as a faculty member
for 36 years, asked to be buried
on the campus he loved. Today
an oak tree southwest of the
former University hall and near
the temporary architecture build
ing, stands as a memorial. Near
the trunk, a small weather
beaten, oval-shaped tombstone
reads: "Dr. James Thomas tees,
he served well, 1889-1926."
Dr. Lees was a member of the
athletic board, chairman of stu
dent publication board, head of
the department of Greek and pro
vost of the university before he
died at the age of 66.
Dr. Lees, however, was better
known for his appealing erson-
ality and warm interest in the
activities of the student body.
The 1920 Cornhhsker was dedi
cated to him. After he died, over
$60,000 worth of scholarship
awards in his memory were
given rtudc"4s.
Alter a thort dedicatory service,
the ashes of Dr. Lees were slowly
scattered around the memorial
tree on May 28, 1926, in the
presence of Chancellor Samuel
Avery and 175 instructors, alumni
and friends.
