the senate propaganda committee stat
| ing that the l. w W., anarchists, so
cialists and others were ''perfecting an
amalgamation with one object-the
overthrow of the government of the
United States by means of a bloody
revolution and the establishment of a
bolshevik republic" Mr.. Lamar said
his conclusion was based upon infor-
nation contained in seized mail mat
| ter.
Accompanying the memorandum
were several hundred excerpts from
the mail matter. Mr.. Lamar said this
propaganda was being conducted with
'such regularity that its magnitude
can be measured by the bold and out
spoken statements contained in these
publications and the efforts made
| therein to inaugurate a nationwide
reign of terror and overthrow the gov
ernment''
Final Common Cause.
Mr.. Lamar said it was significant
| that this was the first time sin the his
tory of the so-called radical movement
il the United States that these rad
zeal elements have found common
cause (bolshevism) in which they can
all unite" He referred particularly
| to the dissatisfied foreign elements as
icing active in the propaganda.

perhaps most actively engaged in
spreading this propaganda, and has at
its command large field force known
as recruiting agents, subscription
agents, etc., who work increasingly in
the furtherance of the cause.

the seized mail matter, the solicitor

end outspoken statements contained in
these publications and the efforts made

All Find Common Cause.
'In classifying these statements,
they are submitted in major or gem
eral class as follows: /. w. w. an
archistic, radical-socialistic and social
ist. 1t will be seen from these ex-
cerpts and it is indeed significant that
| this is the first time in the history Of
| the so-called radical movement in the
] United States that the radical ele-
ments have found a common cause
| (bolshevism) in which they can all
unite. The /. w. W., anarchists. So

i al. dissatisfied elements, particularly
| the foreign element, are perfecting

with one object only in view, the over

ed States by the means of a bloody
revolution and the establishment of d
bolshevik republic.
