"Beginning in the early 1930s with work among the legions of unemployed,
Communists organized their way into leadership positions in various left wing
and labor organizations. Sometimes helping to start them, sometimes moving into
existing organizations, they became involved in the whole complex of activities
that made up the New Deal in Washington State. These included key unions in the
maritime, timber, cannery, aircraft, and service sectors. They included a
succession of important organizations that represented those out of work or
dependent on public assistance (Unemployed Citizens League, Workers Alliance,
and Washington Pension Union). And most importantly, they included the
Democratic Party, which the Communists influenced through the Washington
Commonwealth Federation,  a caucus organization that controlled Democratic Party
machinery in some parts of the state and nominated candidates for office."

<<Tavish comment: The "New Deal" was Socialist President Franklin D. Roosevelt's
creation.>>

"It was less well known that quite a number of the politicians who won elections
as Democrats were secret Communists or working closely with the Communist Party.
Hugh DeLacy, who was fired from his job as a lecturer at the University of
Washington when he began working with the Washington Commonwealth Federation and
running for office with WCF support, served several terms on the Seattle City
Council and two terms in the US Congress without disclosing his Party
connections. Other Communist Democrats served in the state legislature and held
various other political offices."

"Even when there was no active Red Scare, it was hardly safe to be an open
Communist. All through the 1920s and early 1930s, Party members suffered
harassment and arrests, including felony charges of Criminal Syndicalism. The
legal pressures eased for one decade (roughly 1934 to 1947) before resuming
during the Cold War.
   The second Red Scare began in Washington state in 1947 when the legislature
established a "little HUAC" committee chaired by Albert Canwell, Republican from
Spokane. The Canwell committee staged two sets of high-publicity hearings
designed to expose Communists and Communist sympathizers in important
institutions, including unions, political organizations, the Democratic Party,
and on the faculty of the University of Washington."

<<Tavish comment: HUAC = House Un-American Activities Committee and where is the
HUAC now that we really need it!? Also notice the Communists did quite well as
stated with "The legal pressures eased for one decade (roughly 1934 to 1947)
before resuming during the Cold War" and from 1934 to 1947 is when Democrats
were Presidents and the Cold War is when Republican Dwight Eisenhower came into
office. Is it any wonder why the Republican party never gets Communist Party
endorsements like the Democrat Party does?!>>

Another CP-linked newspaper, the Sunday News, headlines the decision of two of
the region's most important unions to join the CIO in 1937. Communists were part
of the leadership of both the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's
Union and the International Woodworkers of America.

http://faculty.washington.edu/gregoryj/cpproject/492.jpg 
The Washington Commonwealth Federation was  a powerful force in state politics
after 1935. Functioning as a leftwing caucus within the Democratic Party, the
WCF was also Communist led.

http://faculty.washington.edu/gregoryj/cpproject/canwell.gif
Representative Albert Canwell  led the legislative investigating committee that
targeted Communists in the Democratic Party and at the University of Washington.
http://faculty.washington.edu/gregoryj/cpproject/canwellprotest.jpg
The Party organized demonstrations against  the Canwell Committee in 1948. But
within a few years some of the leaders of the state party were facing prison or
deportation.

The 1999 WTO protests in the streets of Seattle attracted 40,000 demonstrators
and world-wide attention. Members of the Communist Party participate in the big
labor-sponsored  march and rally

Press Release Anti-Semitism-International
"...The collapse of communism has brought rapid, often radical change
throughout Central and Eastern Europe and poses a growing threat to the
security of the reemerging Jewish communities in the region," said
Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director." <END>
      What is Abe Foxman suggesting? Is he suggesting 
          communism was a guardian of Jews? 

 Here is B'nai Brith making a shocking revelation:

Excerpt: "MEASURES AND INITIATIVES TAKEN TO COMBAT ANTISEMITISM, 1991 - '94
Introduction. Antisemitism - World Trends, 1991 - '94 The period of 1991-'94 was
marked by a rise in expressions of antisemitism, resulting mainly from the
collapse of the communist block in Europe and the reunification of Germany."

should communism's collapse be viewed negatively by Jews? Anyone care to answer
that?!>> Also see:
