EXHIBIT No. 2

NATIONAL COUNCIL OF AMERICAN-SOVIET FRIENDSHIP, INC., New York, N. Y., November 16, 1948. DEAR FRIEND: On Monday evening, December 13, the Very Reverend Hewlett Johnson, Dean of Canterbury, and foremost leader in the democratic movement for world peace, speaks at Madison Square Garden. This eminent churchman, who will climax a month's tour of the United States with this rally, will present his impressions of the American peace movement as it relates to the peace forces of England and the continent. He will also report on his recent observations of conditions in eastern Europe and his personal conversations with the leaders of the new democracies.

We feel it is a rare privilege, indeed, for us to be able to present the Dean in the first significant rally to follow the elections. We know you will appreciate the importance of forcefully demonstrating, particularly before the new congressional session, the people's will for peace through cooperation and friendship with the Soviet Union.

The Ambassador from the Soviet Union, His Excellency Mr. Alexander S. Panyushkin, will address the meeting. The meeting will also feature Paul Robeson, other well-known speakers and a program of entertainment.

As you may recollect, thousands were turned away from the Garden on the occasion of the Dean's last visit here in 1945. Thus, to insure you proper accommodations, we are enclosing an advance ticket order blank.

Won't you plan now to attend this rally for peace and reserve seats for yourself and your friends?

Cordially yours,

RM; rs

RICHARD MORFORD, Executive Director.

DECEMBER 10-11, 1938, HOTEL WASHINGTON, WASHINGTON, D. C.

NOVEMBER 16, 1938.

DEAR FRIENDS: Enclosed you will find a Call to the Conference on Pan-American Democracy to be held in Washington on December tenth and eleventh.

On behalf of the Committee of Sponsors may I urge that your organization make every effort to participate? The problem is a pressing one and the need for some solution immediate.

We understand your organization has a very real concern with the inroads that fascism is making in this hemisphere, and we believe you can make a valu

able contribution to our conference. If you can send representatives, please inform us at once.

We are looking forward to meeting them in Washington.

Sincerely yours,

DONALD MCCONNELL.

Delegates: Bernard Stern, Harry Lamberton, William Phillips.

DEAR FRIEND: After reading the enclosed manifesto, we believe that you will be with us and one of us. We therefore urge you to act. Of primary importance to the large success of the Bail Fund is your attendance at the committee's first invited guest meeting (ticket enclosed).

This meeting will be held on Thursday, January 31st, at 8.30, in the Orozco Room of the New School for Social Research. Here the Bail Fund will be fully explained. There will be a talk by John Spivak and short talks by Roger Baldwin, Corliss Lamont and Heywood Broun. Also some words by Angelo Herndon and two other outstanding victims of the present deplorable bail situation.

Again we say, if you are with us in our purpose, do not fail to come to this meeting. Should this be impossible, however, will you avail yourself of the enclosed form in order to make closer contact with us.

Sincerely,

THE POLITICAL PRISONERS BAIL FUND COMMITTEE.

A common bail fund for those arrested in the struggle of the working class, for the rights of oppressed minorities, in the fight against war and fascism

AN OPEN LETTER TO GOVERNOR THOMAS E. DEWEY

[New York Times, October 9, 1944]

It has been well said, "By their deeds you shall know them."

There is a deed crying to be done in the State of New York today. A deed of simple justice, humanity, and fair play.

It is in your power and yours alone to do this act.

We ask you to grant a pardon to Morris U. Schappes.

We ask you to do this because the continued imprisonment of this teacher and scholar can only be interpreted by many thoughtful Americans as political persecution.
