Solicitor Lamar Submits
Memorandum Laying Plot
Formed by Men Who
Would Wreck U. S.

Washingtn. March l0.-Solicitor
General Lamar of the Postoffice de-
partment submitted a memorandum
to the senate propaganda committee
today stating that the l. w. W., an
archists, socialists and others were
"perfecting an amalgumation with
one object-the overthrow of the
government of the United States by
means of a bloody revolution and
the establishment of a bolshevik re-
public" Mr.. Lamar said his con-
clusion was based upon information
contained in seized mail matter.
Accompanying the memorandum
were several hundred excerpts from
the mail matter. Mr.. Lamar said
this propaganda was being con-
Quoted with such regularity that its
magnitude can be measured by the
bold and outspoken statements con-
tanned in these publications and the
efforts made therein to inaugurate
a nationwide reign of terror and
overthrow the government" :"
Foreign Elements Active.
Mr.. Lamar said it was significant
that this was the first time in the
history of the so-called radical
movement in the United States that
these radical elements have found
a common cause (bolshevism) in
which they can all unite" He re-
ferred particularly to the dissatis-
fed foreign elements as being active
in the propaganda. -"
"The |. w. W." said Mr.. Lamar,
"is perhaps most actively engaged
in spreading this propaganda and
has at its command a large field
force known as recruiting agents
subscription agents, etc. who work
increasingly in the furtherance of
the cause.
After referring TO the excerpts
from the seized mail matter, the
solicitor generals memorandum
said in part.
Plan Reign of Terror.
"This propaganda is beng con
Quoted with such regularity that
its magnitude can be measured by
the bold and ourspoken statements
contained in these publications and
the efforts made therein to inaug-
urate a nationwide reign of terror
and overthrow the government.
I'm classifying these statements
they are submitted in a major or
general class as follows:
Il. w. W., anarchist, radical-so-
cialistic and socialistic.
at will be seen from these ex-
cerpts, and it is indeed significant.
that this is the first time in the his
tory of the so-called radical move
ment in the United States that the
radical elements have found COM
mon cause (bolshevism) in which
they can all unite. The |. w. W..
anarchists, radical and otherwise, in
fact, all dissatisfied elements, par
ticularly the foreign element, are
perfecting amalgamation with one
object, and with one object only in
view, namely, the overthrow of the
government of the United States
by the means of a bloody revolution
and the establishment of a bolshevik
republic.
THE l. w. w. is perhaps most
actively engaged in spreading this
propaganda and has at its command
a large field force known as re-
cruiting agents, subscription agents,
etc, who work increasingly in the
furtherance of the cause
