from REE Czechoslovak programs a substantia] collection of radio scripts and
tape recordings, from which I shall quote
in the following. If anv slogan men be
offered to characterize the general tenor
of all toei many programs, let us quote
what a well-known American apologist
for the Suviel causes heis saiel In the
process of the Far Eastern debacle: "Let
them fall, but do not let il appear lhat
we pushed them."
PROPAGATION OF SOCIALISM
May 1, 1953, 3:15 p.m.: "The Socialist youth of the whole world sends its
greetings in the youth of Czechoslovakia.
We assure you tbat vve shall reach the
aim . . . the day, when we vvill be able
to join you in democracy in the fight for
socialism, social justice and freedom."
Al the end ol the program the international was plavi'd. [The Iiilernnlionnl is
the rallying snug ..I world communism.]
Men 3, 1953, 12:15 p.m.: Ferdinand
Peroutka, chief "I RFE's Czechoslovak
elesk iii New York, a well-known Socialisl and one-time prominent member of
the pro-Communist National Front, in
his "Sundaj Comments ol Ferdinand
Peroutka": "Eisenhower's program, on
the other band, even though America's
factories have not been nationalized,
sieiiiil- for lhe concept of world socialism. There is no heticr way to describe
it. This is socialism ... The aim of the
program outlined hv the Presidenl <.f the
I nited Skill's is to socialize life."
May 1, 1954, 2:50 p.m.: "Today, on
May 1st, we convey our greetings to all
those who are dedicated to the faith in
democratic socialism. [To Communist-
dominated countries Mav 1 st is synonymous with America's July 4th, and lhe'
term "Democratic Socialism" is a Communisl term used in Men Day speeches

Men I. 1954, 2:10 p.m. "Program for
Workers : "I,eaeu .louhaux a groat

revolutionism has been a tradition. His

haux — a greal revolutionary, a greal

"We Call thc Communist Party": "The
presenl order i in eastern Europe ' merely
serves to continue the dictatorship . . .
this jungle which falsely is labeled as
legitimate socialism."
March 23. 1955. 2:20 p.m. Dr. Jan
llajek. on program, "Living Science
Discussions vvilh Young People'." saiel:
"Socialism has become adult. Socialisl
thinkers are no longer irresponsible radicals. The fundamental problem of modern socialism is man's relation t" the
slelle.
"The modern socialisl rejects both
extremes -laissez faire ami state con-
trol. He is aware of bis duties as well as
his rights.
"The citizens "I the Socialisl society
musl he conscious of their heritage, and
pieelld of it."
Along ibis line, the Czechoslovak edi-
tors and broadcasters carefully avoid
repudiating tbe measures "f socialization
and i oinmiinizaliiiii which their own
National Fronl bad instituted in the
postwar vcars, and often gu so far as
lo approve of similar Communisl measures in satellite Europe. Thus, on Octo-
ber 2:;. 1052. al 11:50 a.m.. the hroad-
caster of "We Call the Communisl
