Americas Field for Bolshcvism

Q OLICITOR LAMAR, of tho Post Office
~ Department, has presented TO the Senate
propaganda committee memoranda of the
results of extended search for evidence
in which is disclosed proof OF an organized
scheme for the overthrow of the American
government through a bloody revolution and
the establishment of Bolshevst republic
in its stead. The seized propaganda shows
that the plot is supported by various radical
elements, including [. w. VS. anarchists
radical Socialists and others, whose several
organizations for months past have been
perfecting amalgamation to carry GU, their
purpose.
The American people will do we'll to be
warned of the significance of these revelations
II is for them forciblc reminder of the
wisdom of Patrick Henrys observation, that
eternal vigilance is the price OF liberty"
The value OF the warning was not limited
TO the times in which it was voiced When
struggle is succeeded by triumph then does
1t most behooye people who value freedom
10 put it into practice. In iancied security as
TO the imprcgnablc strength OF our rcpub-
iican government, the people of America have
supported frequent innovations upon its
organic character which in the general trend
in that direction has greatly encouraged
radicasm in midst. AS these radical
views by active propaganda come more and
more TO permcate the body of public opinion
the clements that would change the whole
character or the government naturally grow
boldcr in their plans for It's subversion Thus
the earlier devotion of the people for repre-
sentative republican government has very
largely been suDplantcd by a demand for
strictly democratic government. Under such
! spccious appeal for exercise of power direct
| by the people, with the confusion of counsels
/ primarily originating in the Innovations
! previously referred to. there is offered a
| fine field for Bolshcvist propaganda in i'm
! pressing the advantages of Soviet govern
/ mcnt. To paciGst and prolctariat alike the
! doctrine OF the Soviet finds increasing appeul
! under injustces that not entirely prc-
vcntablc under any form of government.
| TO be forcwarncd OF q danger, however is
| to have opportunity to safeguard against it,
| The various propaganda movements which
| are now disclosed to be pcrfccting amaiga-
| nation for the overthrow OF the government
| by violence have not been working in the
| DARK so much as recent revelations in the
| Importance given them seem to imply. War
