A total of 222 foreign language pa.
pers and 1O5 more in the English lam

try regularly and Systematically are
teaching sedition and revolution.
The attorney general discloses that
his staff has prepared legislation in ex-
tension of the espionage act which
will deal most severely with the mall
contents who are undermining the gov.
ernment. This supplementary legisla.
tion must be adopted, Mr.. Palmer
tells congress, before any substantial

Palmer lays emphasis on the radicals
