 WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. = Any movement, however. cloaked or dis sembled, designed to undermine the government, will be met with 'un- flinching, persistent, aggressive war fare" Attorney General Palmer an- nounced tonight in stating the policy of the department of justice for the forthcoming year. He added that no quarter would be shown bo1shevists or others of their iIS whom he de- scribed as chiefly criminals, mistaken idealists, social bigots and unfortun- ates suffering from various forms of hyperesthesia
 MT. Palmer disclosed that the gov ernment has been tracing motives, methods and mannerisms of the ele- ment which has been charged with 75 per cent of the unrest in this coun- try. Representatives of the depart ment of justice, working with secret agents of the allied powers, have gone into the Russian bolshevist territories to obtain definite information of the plans of those responsible for intro ducing to the world the dictatorship of the proletariat.
 Reds Have Specific Doctrine
 We have found" MT. Palmer said. that the red movement does not alleged defects in our present politi- cal and economic organizations of so- ciety- It does not represent the radi- calism of progress It represents specific doctrine namely, the introS duction of dictatorship by force and violence. It is not a movement of lib- erty loving persons, but distinctly a criminal and dishonest scheme.
 'Lenfne, himself, 1t is proved, made the statement that among every hun dred bolshevists there is one real boI- shevist, 39 criminals and 60 fools CT <<tz7 kr,r dictatorship of the proletariat after two years of wastefui consumption of accumulated stocks, still are promis- ing the peasants peace, bread and land- The dictatorship Of the proletariat has degenerated into military dictator ship of a subsidized and corrupt DOT ton of the proletariat"
 Acquaintance with the doctgine Of the reds MT. Palmer said, was the most forcible methods of ending their activities in this country. He urged the American people, in the interests Of law and order, peace and happiness and the maintenance of national soli- darity, to study the full meaning of the red idead and to counteract it through the teaching of Americanism in the press, the church, the school and labor organizations.
 The Commercial Outlook
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Secretary Alexander of the department of com merce today summed up the commer- cial outlook for 1920 as follows:
 The closing year witnessed a fabu- lous growth of American foreign com merce. Our trade balance for 1919 will be approximately four billions. A great fleet of merchant ships, neN in- dustrfes, new sources of supply and increased knowledge of our own re- sources are some of the assets gained from our war experience. Before the war we were engaged, for the most business. with little serious thought of extension of our activities into world markets and we were too indifferent as regards our position of inferiority on the high seas. Today we are awake as never before. The pride of ante bellum days is revived and we look to see our flag at the masthead of a~ American merchant ship in every im- portant seaport of the world, carry ing American goods wherever markets may be found.
 Abnormal Conditions Passing
 Abnormal condition, we hope, are passing. The tremendous increase in the exports of the war period. made up largely of military supplies and the still greater exports of the months fol- lowing the war. in which foodstuffs fig ured largely. may not continue indefi- uiIefy- IncSe IremenQOuS. figures have brought satisfaction to all but grave concern to those who look for ward to 1920 The exchange in Flu rope is a grave problem and so un- comfortable for foreign buyers as to necessitate in some cases government restrictions on buying. If we would continue our foreign trade at its pres ent high level there must be freer and fuller exchange of commodities and a large extention of credit to Euro pean buyers. So let us find a condi ton in which buying and selling will be of profit to both sides. On that basis we may build commercial struc- ture on a firm foundation.
 'Tt is too much to expect that nor mai conditions, for which we all are so impatient should some within the 14 months since the signing of the armistice The wonder is that the situation is not more unsettled Elk isting conditions are not unlike those following other wars, only. the prob lems are of greates proportions and more complex. Our domestic situa- ton is not free from difficulty. Let us hope that in the year 1920 there will be less social unrest, that production will increase and living costs be grad ually reduced and that b yintelligent cooperation unselfish regard for the public welfare our national prosperity may continue
