MEMORANDUM FOR
THE PRESIDENT
Mrs. W.E.B. DuBois apparently wishes to return to the
United States to visit, or to die, or whatever (she is now very
old). The U. S. Government either is, or is being accused of
refusing her a passport (or again whatever it is required to
enter the country) on the presumed grounds that she is a
communist.
I do not doubt. she is. But what possible difference could
it make ? Her husband was really a great man who only very
late in life became a kind of bitter Stalinist. This year I per-
suaded the M. I. T. Press to reissue a long forgotten book of
his, and I wrote a short introduction for it. You might want to
glance at this in making up your mind as to whether you would
like someone to look into this for you.
