She argues that the Committee's actions give the impression that communism is stronger than it actually is, and that extreme measures are not necessary to combat it. Douglas concludes by quoting a resolution from the House of Bishops urging caution in fighting communism and protecting freedom of conscience."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_170_7_0000-Publications-Various%20articles%20written%20by%20Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas,%201950/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_170_7_0015_thumbnail.jpg "The Challenge of Anti-Semitism: A Call to Action")
