on Un-American
ties. The committee released a state-
in which Mr. Dulles remarked that the
Kremlin had been checkmat-
ed in the use of brute force
but is going straight ahead
to use more peaceful means
to gain its immediate objec-

The Italian Parliament
has' 143 Communist mem.
bers, which, added to left-
wing Socialists, gives a to-
muniat ticket in 1953. This was 34.5 per cent
of the total vote. There are 150 Communist
members In the Fr h Chamber of Deputies.
The Communist party received more than 6,-
000,000 votes in the 1955 Indonesian election.
In Japan the Communist party went from a
few thousand to more than AL million votes
in recent general elections.
Dulles concluded: "The Communists propose
to infiltrate our parliamentary governments
and to use the freedom which our system of
vernment gives to destroy all vestiges of
the Communists have taken over a country by
fret elections or have obtained a parliamen-
tary majority by free elections." And then
Mr. Dulles points up the fact that the Com-
munists have moved In. and taken over "al-
ways without having a majority status." Here
In the heart of the whole matter.
This confirms J. Edgar Hoover's statement
that the Communist party's "new look" Is
more dangerous to America than the old.
