Find Willing Tools in I. W. W.-Latter Well Organ ized to Spread Propaganda Mail Evidence is Fur nished by Solicitor of Post Office Department

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Mailed matter seized since the signing of the armistice has disclosed that the L w. w, anarchists, radical socialists and others are "perfecting an amalgama- tion," which has for it's object the overthrow of the American govern ment through a bloody revolution" and the establishment of a "holsheVih republic" according to a memorandum sent to the senate propaganda con- mittee by Solicitor Lamar of the post office department. The memorandum was made public today by the con- mittee and Chairman Overman said 1t would be read into the record to- morrow.
 Declaring that in bolshevism ths radical elements of the country had for the first time found common cause upon which they can unite Mir, ! Lamar said his investigation showed that propaganda against the govern ment was being conducted with great l regularity, and that it's magnitude could be measured ''by the bold and outspoken statements" found in the | literature Accompanying his memo- [ randum were several hundred ex- | cerpts from mail matter, showing the l trend of the propaganda
 These will be made public later. | Particular reference was made by | the solicitor to the activities of the | dissatisfied foreign element in the | country but he said perhaps the l. | w. w. was the most active in the dis ! emenation of propaganda because 1t l has at it's command large field force | known as recruiting agents, who work | unceasingiy in the furtherance of thS 1 cause
 Robins Testifies Again
 The information furnished by MEs Lamar coincides to an extent with the statements reiterated today by Ray mond Robins, former head of the I American Red Cross mission in Rus sia, when he again appeared before the committee primarily to answer statements concerning him made Sat- urday by David R. Francis, American minister to Russia
 MT. Robins insisted 1t was the de- sire of the bolsheviki to overthrow all the governments of the world, and in their place set up terrorist govern ments, similar to ghose in Russia He said he did not know of his own knowledge that bolshevists from Rus sia actually were engaged in trying to accomplish this purpose in the United States, but that he was con- vinced certain people here were en- gagged in propaganding bolshevist ideas.
 "The I. W. w he added, has been doin git for twenty years"
 In reply to questions MT. Robins said he did not know whether bolshev ist agitators were being sent into South America, but he agreed with Senator King of Utah, that it was quite possible that Russian reds would undertake to aid any radical groups wherever operating.
 Denies Francis Testimony
 Turning to Ambassador Francis testimony last Saturday, Mir. Robins denied that he had gone to the head quarters of the bolshevists in Petro- grad. asked about their principles and indicated his approval of them. He also denied that he had ever pretended to represent the American government in Russia Ambassador Francis told the committee he had heard MT. Ro0- ins was spoken of in Mosciw as the moutpiece of the American govern .
 ment, and as a consequence the am- bassador thought it wise to make q : public announcement that statements coming from sources other than the
 American embassy were not author iZed.
 MT Robins submitted to the con- mittee copies of cablegrams which he said passed between Ambassador ,, Francis and the state department ! and telegrams and letters which he
 asserted were sent him by the am-
 bassador. The witness explained that 2 his purpose in offering these docu- l ments was to show that at all times
 his relations with the ambassador ! were valued and cordial and thai he i was authorized by Ambassador
 Francis to maintain contact with the
 bolshevists.
 Y One of the letters was given hin , by Ambassador Francis. MT. Robin: : said, ito provide against the possibil'
 ity of error in statement and suhse-
 duent refutation of my authorization
 to represent the ambassador in tn,
 manner indicated by his herbal in
 structions,'
