WARNS NATION
OF RED PERIL
U. s. Department Of Justice Urges
Americans to Guard Against
boIShevism Menace.
CALLS RED PLANS CRIMINAL
Press, Church, Schools, Labor Unions
and Civic Bodies Called Upon to
Teach True Purpose Of Boz
shevlst Propaganda.

Misunderstanding for the patrt-
otto support Of all true Americans In
It's fight TO protect their homes, re-
ligioD and property from the spread
Ing menace of BOlshevlsm, the United
States Department Of Justice has Is
sued warning against the lnsidious
propaganda of the Reds" during the
new year. II reads:
ut would be extremely helpful TO the
cause of good government, the main
tenance of law and order and the pres
ervatlon of peace and happiness In our
country IL the people ON this New
Years day would resolve to study, un
derstand and appreciate the so-called
Red movement. They can counter
act 1t most effectively by teaching its
purpose through the press, the church,
the schools, patriotic organizations and
labor unions, all Of which are within
the range Of its insldious attacks.
"Red" Theories Criminal
The Red movement does not mean
an attitude Of protest against alleged
defects In our present political and
economic organization Of society. Il
does not represent the radicalism Of
progress. It represents q specific doc
trine-nsmely, the introduction Of die
tatorships the world over by force and
violence. It is not movement Of lib
erty-loving persons, but distinctly
criminal and dishonest movement.
Lenine himself made the statement at
the Third Soviet Conference, Among
one hundred so-called Belshevists there
Is one real Bolshevik, thirty-nine GRIM
inals and sixty FOOLS II advocates the
destruction Of all ownership In proper
ty, the destruction of all religion and
belief In God. 1t is a movement or
ganized against Democracy and in IA
vcr Of the power Of the few built by
force Bolshevism. yndicalism, the
Soviet Government, sabotage, etc. sre
only names for old theories Of vislence
and crimlnality.
Russian Labor Crushed.
Though their adhsrents in this ceus-
try are advocating ana fomentins
strikes, Lenins and Trotzky ferbid
strikes, and trade unions are being
broken up and completely sasordinsted
to the will Of the few dsmagogues In
control in Russia. This Bolshsvist en-
pertinent on the living body of the
Russian people has not proven in any
sense Of the word an )eriment in
Democracy. The Bolshevist leaders
frankly repudiate democratic princi-
Piles as we understand them. 1t has
been gamble which meant for Rus
sia, and, indeed, for the whole of hu-
manity, enormous losses In lives az
well as In material resources. The
Bolshevists have run up q colossal bin
which the Russian workmen and peas
ants win have to pay.
1Hsds' Menace America.
Having lived at the expense of the
Russian people for two years, these
spectators In human lives and other
peoples earnings are trying to move
to new fields to the east and to the
west, hoping to take advantage Of the
economic distress and confusion Of
mind In which humanity finds itself
after the terrific strain Of FIVE years
of war.
Its sympathizers in this country are
composed chiefly Of criminals, mis-
taken idealists, social bigots and many
unfortunate men and women suffering
with varying forms of hyperesthesia
They are enemies Of the government,
CT the church and Of the home and ad-
vocate principles which mean the aboli.
tfcn Of all three Of these safeguards Of
civilization.

Twenty million people in this coun-
try own Liberty Bonds. These the
Reds propose to take away $3.50, 900
people In the United States own farms
and 3,s3s,000 more own homes, which
they would forfeit; IL, O0O,O 900 odd peo-
pie have savings accounts In savings
banks and $4,000, 900 people have de-
posits In our national banks, at which
they aim. There are hundreds Of thou
sands of churches and religious insti.
tutions, all Of which they would abol-
ish. In other words, 10000, 900 hard
working and saving people who own
love liberty and worship God
are asked to abandon all the ideals Of
liberty and government, which
are the outcome Of the strasgles of
their fathers and their swn develop
ment and to place themselves, their
homes, their family and their religious
faith in the keeping and their property
under the domination Of q small grUuD
