==Background==

==Background==

The [[Nazi-Soviet Pact]] of 1939 presented the most troubling dilemma for American Communists.  It came on the heels of the bloody anti-[[Trotsky]]ite [[Great Purges]] in which many [[CPUSA]] members quit the party with apprehension and fear over what the Party had become.  Those who remained during the purges were, for the most part, dedicated anti-fascists.  However, with the coming of the Communazi era wherein German Chancellor [[Adolf Hitler]] became an ally of the [[Soviet Union]] against French and British Imperialism, only the most ardent [[Stalinist]]s continued in the party who were willing to overlook, and justify, Stalin's murderous excesses. Among them were Frank Marshall Davis, who joined the group ''American Peace Mobilization''.<ref>[http://www.realclearreligion.org/articles/2012/07/25/a_group_of_communist_clergymen.html A Group of Communist Clergymen]</ref>  According to the [[House Un-American Activities Committee]], APM was "one of the most notorious and blatantly communist fronts ever organized in this country".<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=kVxbAAAAcAAJ&q=%22one+of+the+most+notorious+and+blatantly+communist+fronts+ever+organized+in+this+country%22&dq=%22one+of+the+most+notorious+and+blatantly+communist+fronts+ever+organized+in+this+country%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjX1tbG8qbPAhVCHR4KHahWAnoQ6AEIMTAE Second Report, Un-American Activities in Washington State, 1948]</ref>
