During a six-month coast-to-coast tour of twenty-five states to
mobilize attendance at a peace conference scheduled for Chicago on
June 1, 1951, Arthur Kahn kept a diary, which he subsequently
published under the title Speak Out America Wants Peace. Since his
sponsoring organization the American Peace Crusade could not afford
to pay his expenses, he made his way by selling copies of his
recently published book Betrayal: The American Occupation of
Germany, a summary of his experiences as a wartime Office of
Strategic Services operative and after VE Day as an peripatetic
intelligence investigator and then as Chief Editor of Intelligence
for the Information Control Division of Military Government. The
first part of Speak Out describes a peace pilgrimage to Washington
by some 2,500 people from all over the United States, seeking a
negotiated end to the Korean War and actions to alleviate economic
hardships in the country. In the remainder of his trip he spoke
with Americans of every walk of life-trade unionists, businessmen,
clergymen, farmers, intellectuals, teachers and students-people of
all ages and of all races and political opinions. To his own
surprise he discovered widespread unease among people about the
Korean War as well as about the atmosphere of McCarthy-ite
repression stifling expression of popular discontent.
