HE AMERICAS TIMES-RECOE
strous doctrine, the president of the
federation attempted to justify it in
these unthinkable words:
"The conference considers abso-
lutely unbelievable the participation
of the members of the federation in
any church organization. And this
"One of the instruments for the OBJ
securing of the consciousness of the
people in the belief in God. If we
approach these beliefs sensibly and
understand where religion comes
from-we shall clearly understand
that the function of religion at pres
ent is to act as a poison with which
the minds of the people have been
and continue to be corrupted, and
then we shall also understand why
the communist party IS so resolutely
opposed to religion" (P. 1889
Now, you big, strong, stalwart
men, 90 with me moment out yon-
der to that shady spot, which you
know so well, in that silent city of
the dead; to that little red mound
more sacred to you than your soul
the mound that covers the mortal re-
mains of that good mother of yours
who gathered you in your prattling
bovhood days to her knees and taught
you to say:
"Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray, Thee, Lord, my soul to keep.
Yes, go with me to that sacred
spot out there. Place your hand on
YOUR heart and tell me if you can
think for a moment of voting for a
man, who for money or any other
reason, would counsel and advise and
assist a gang of foreign aliens in
their efforts to stay here for the sole
purpose of overthrowing our govern
ment and establishing in its place a
government which would not only
abolish the sanctity of your home
but absolutely destroy the religion
of that good mother of yours which
was more sacred to her than life it.

will never believe that single one
of you red-blooded, manly men will
think of doing any such thing!
Yes, this does seem to be enough.
But in fairness to you | cannot yet
leave the subject On P. 1877, The
Manufacturers Record, a reputable
southern journal, quotes Trotsky,
speaking to several hundred of his
New York followers:
81 want you to remain here to or
ganize and keep on organizing until
you destroy this dirty, rotten gov
eminent of the United States, while
I return to Russia to bring on a rev.
olution there and to stop the Russian
war against Germany"
Admits Associations
While Martens claimed that this
reputable southern journal lied on
Trotsky, he admits the significant
and startling fact that he knew Trots-
ky intimately for 10 years, and that
he was associated with Trotsky as
associate editors of the Bolshevist
paper at the very time when Trotsky
left for Russia to join Lenine, estab-
lish the Russian Bolshevic govern
ment and assassinate the civilization
of the world. Up. 1919 Martens
swore that he had been associated in
revolutionary work with Lenine in
his earlier days. Up. 241.)
In Gods name, men, do you see IN
all its horrid nakedness this situation
now? Who are Trotskv and Lenine?
They are the couple wlZo did "return
to Russia" and who did bring on
revolution there" who did "stop
the Russian war against Germany
who did "unclasp the clutch of the
Russian Bear with its strangle hold
upon the German Hun, release mil
lions of these brutes for mad rush
to crush the heart of France, ehdan-
ger England and even menace the
safety of America. But for the du-
plicitv and the treason of Trotsky
and Lenine not an American boy
would have been called across the
sea. 1t was their sedition against civ
ilization which cost the lives of fifty
thousand gallant American boys and
caused your fathers and mothers to
sweat drops of blood as you saw your
sons 90 across to suffer and to die.
And it is their agents, their friends
and associates whom ex-senator
Hardwick. for money. continues to
defend in Washington, to counsel
and consort with in New York.
The last chapter of this infamous
mess will bring the grapevine right
down to your own county. l now hold
in my hand a copy of the official re-
port of the department of justice,
headed "Radicalism and Sedition
Among the Negroes" I quote:
