The best thing that I could do would be to read it out of the booklet that I have. I believe that it would be helpful to both of us.
Mr. Moulder. How long is it?
Mr. Carlson. It is probably a couple of hundred words, I believe.
Mr. Moulder. What is the title of it?
Mr. Carlson. It is the preamble to our machinists’ constitution.
Mr. Moulder. Yesterday I believe you said you didn’t even know what the Communist Party stood for or what it was all about, and led us to believe that you were maybe innocently hooked into and taken into the Communist Party movement at one time, still not having any opinion toward it or approval of it.
Mr. Carlson. The popular conception of the Communist Party being a subversive organization, an organization looking for the overthrow of the Government, and so on and so forth, I can’t say that I ever believed that. And I don’t think that I know anybody that does, that I think believes that.
Mr. Moulder. Are you a married man, Mr. Carlson?
Mr. Carlson. Yes, I am.
Mr. Moulder. Do you have a family?
