Release of Browder
Strongly Criticized
By Secolar Press
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
Serious criticism of President
Roosevelt’s action in releasing
Earl Browder, the Communist
leader, from prison where he was
serving a four-year term for per
jury, is made in editorial com
ment by prominent secular news
papers.
“The freeing of Browder,” says
The New York Times, “will, of
course, be linked in every one’s
mind with our relations with Rus
sia. But our alliance with Russia is
purely military. Russia’s domestic
affairs are her own. Our domestic
affairs are our own. The entire
nation is whole-heartedly for all-
out military aid to Russia. This
has nothing whatsoever to do with
the release from prison of an
American citizen who has been
convicteu of perjury against his
Government. The way to help
Russia is to send with all possible
speed and in the greatest possible
amounts the military equipment
she needs. It helps neither Rus
sia nor the cause of national unity
to interfere with the normal
course of justice for reasons of
political expediency”.
The “Times” notes that the
President offered two main justi
fications for his action in releasing
Browder’s “long sentence” was
“by way of penalty imposed upon
him because of his political views”.
The paper says it is, doubtful
whether either of these expecta
tions is justified. “So far from
removing the stigma of political
prejudice from the case, the Presi
dents intervention strengthens the
charge”, the editorial says.
“Whether or not Browder’s sent
ence was lengthened because of
his political view’s, it seems clear
that it has now been shortened
because of them”. “As for the
promotion of national unity”, the
paper adds, “it is our guess that
the release of Browder wil have
the opposite effect”.
“The Washington Post” declares
ti’.at Browder’s release “is not
likely to satisfy the Communists”,
and “has already brought criticism
from some of those w’ho wanted to
keep Mr. Browden behind prison
bars because they regard him as
a menace to the country”. The
editorial also asserts that “the
President s statement in commut
ing Mr Browder’s sentence to the
iime already served tactily recog
nizes that a Federal Court was
unduly severe in passing judg
ment upon him because the group
he represented was in acute dis
favor”. The paper then notes that
the President “attempted to justify
the release of Mr. Bowder on the
ground that ’will have a tendency
to promote national unity’. In
other w’ords. political considera
tions entered into the release of
the Communist leader as w’ell as
into his sentencing”.
Westbrook Pegler, noted col
umnist. says In his syndicated col
umn that release of Browder,
whom he called “one of the fore
most pro-Axi* collaborationists
during the life of the Berlin-
Moscow compact”, establishhes the
principle that “the politics of a
criminal may be weighed in his
favor”.
“This is a political communta-
tion”. Mr. Pegler asserts “as the
White House statement admitted in
the remark that Browder’s libera
ticn would have ‘a tendency to
promote national unity’. That was
equivalent to saying that Browder
was given his freedom so as to
quiet the political clamor of his
followers who, incidentally, are all
sworn enemies of the form of
government provided by the
United States Constitution”.
‘Under this principle”, the col
umnist adds, “any public enemy
serving a thoroughly just and
well-deserved term might be re
leased in response to a demand
by an organized following.” -
Jesuits Take Over
Scranton University
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
SCRANTON, Pa. — The Uni
versity of Scranton, a diocesan in
stitution which has been conducted
by the Brothers of the Christian
School <\ has been taken over by
the Society of Jesus, the Most Rev.
William J. Hafey, Bishop of Scran
ton, announced this week.
The Bishop’s announcement,
published in the Catholic Light,
official organ of the Diocese of
Scranton, states that the change
has been necessitated by the fact
that the Christian Brothers have
been unable to spare enough of
their members to staff the univer
sity adequately and that the
change has been motivated by the
desire to maintain “the high stand
ards, of the University” and to en
able the institution to prepare for
the program expansion “planned
when war has ended w’ith a vic
tory of peace.”
The Bishop’s announcement
points out that not only will the
Jesuits of the Maryland-New York .
Province of the Society of Jesus
staff the university but the control
of the institution will be vested in
the Province. The transfer of ad
ministration marks the fourth
group to conduct the university
since its founding in 1892. Dioces
an priests staffed the university
when it first opened and they were
followed in control by the Xaver-
ian Brothers. After a year under
the Xavierian Brothers, the Broth
ers of the Christian Schools took
charge. Until now, however, it has
remained a diocesan institution.
In his statement, Bishop Hafey
pays tribute “to the many years
of devoted service rendered to the
Diocese of Scranton by the Chris- ~
tion Brothers,” adding that “the
memory of their untiring labors
for the youth of the diocese will
ever be cherished by the alumni,
students and their parents as well.”
The Rev. W. Coleman Nevils. S.
J., former President of George
town University, has been appoint
ed Acting President of the Uni
versity.
