Prague's Joseph Hromadka tried to explain that the situation in Eastern Europe is "both wider and deeper than the question of religious liberty." These countries, said, are going through a total social, economic, and political transformation, and the churches "could not serve as a shelter for those who wish to retreat to the old social order." In short, "the judgment of God lies upon the churches for having failed to meet the needs of the broad masses of people throughout the world...
...just these wider vistas that the pickle packers are endeavoring to bring to the surface. The job will be a difficult one. There is a disturbing cultural lag in the realm of the pickle. We are satisfied, however, that the future of the pickle is in good hands; given the proper facts, given the freedom of discussion in the market-place of opinion, given the technical know-how, the American people can be counted on to weigh all factors impartially, and give a rising vote of confidence to the pickle--a vote that cannot be gainsaid...

Unfortunately, the legislators who agreed with Matthews haven't stopped with that fallacy alone; from their questioning of witnesses who opposed the bill, they seemed to think that the term "subversive" ought to have a much wider application. "Subversive," as interpreted by some of these public servants, might easily include non-Communists who are suspiciously unorthodox or un-Democratic or un-Republican or possibly un-Toomeyish. But even if the legislature were composed of Eagle Scouts, instead of being conspicuously sprinkled with Toomeys, it would be dangerous...
