Washington, March l0.-SoIicitor
General Lamar, Of the postoffice de-
partment, submitted a memorandum to
the senate propaganda committee, to-
day, stating that the !. W. W. anarcA.
lists, socialists and others were "per.
fecting an amalgamation with one Oh
ject-the overthrow of the government
Of the United States by means Of q
bloody revolution and the establishment
Of b0lshevik republic"
Mr.. Lamar said his conclusion was
based upon information contained In
seized mail matter.
Accompanying the memorandum were
several hundred excerpts from such mail
matter. Mr.. Lamar said this propaganda
was being conducted with "such regu-
larity that its magnitude could not Be
measured by !the bold and out-spoken
statements contained in these publica-
tions and the efforts made therein to
inaugurate a nation wide reign Of ter
ror and overthrow of governments.
First Instance Of Unity.
Mr.. Lamar said it was significant that
this was the first time in the history Of
So called radical movement in the United
States that these radical elements have
found common cause (bolshevism) in
WAlcu tncs Cdu dil uMte. Ac IcAeILeu
particularly to the dissatisfied foreign
elements as being active in the propa-
ganda.
1.-The /. W. W." said Mr.. Lamar, ~is
perhaps most actively engaged in spread
ing this propaganda"
After referring to the excerpts from
the seized mail matter, the solicitor gen
erals memorandum said. in part:
"This propaganda is being conducted
with such regularity that its magnitude
can not be measured by the bold and
out spoken statements contained in these
publications and the efforts made therein
to inaugurate q nationwide reign of ter
ror and overthrow the government
Believe in SpiIIing Blood.
''In classifying these statements, they
are submitted in major or general
class. as follows: /. W. W. anarchists.
radical-socialistic. and socialist. It Will
be seen in these excerpts. and it is in
deed significant that this is the first
time in the history of the so-called radi
cal movement in the United States, that
the radical elements have found com
can all unite. The I. W. W., anarchists.
socialists. radical and otherwise-in fact
all dissatisfied elements. particularly the
foreign element-are perfecting amalga-
nation with one object. and with one OBJ
ject only in view. namely. the overthrow
of the government of the United States
by means of bloody revolution and the
of bolshevist republic.
I. W. W. Most Active.
''The l. W. W. is perhaps most active
" engaged in spreading this propaganda
and has at its command a large field
force known as recruiting agents, sub
scription agents. etc. who work unceas-
inglv in the furtherance of the cause.
