 bership shall sign an application card reading as follows:
 "'The undersigned, after having read the constitution and program Of the Communist party, declares his ad- herence to the principles and tactics of the> party and Communist Interna- tionale; agrees to submit to the dis cipline of the party as stated in it's constitution, and pledges himself to engage actively in it's work
 An examination of the documents submitted clearly demonstrates the fact that it is the purpose of the Com munist party to overthrow the govern ment of the United States. There are many statements that might by quoted showing that purpose. The two fol lowing are typical. On page nine of the manifesto and program the state ment is made:
 Communism does not propose to capture" the bourgeois parliament tary state. but to conquer and destroy it.
 And again, on the same page:
 "'The proletariat class struggle is essentially a political struggle. %. The objective is the conquest by the proletariat of the power of the state.
 Many other statements of similar purport are to be found in the same document. After having found that it is the purpose of the Communist party to conquer. and destroy the govern ment of the United States, the next point of inquiry is as how the conquest is to take place.
 Tt is apparent the Communist party does not seek to attain its objective through the parliamentary machinery of the government established by and operated under the constitution. That is made sufficiently clear by the fol lowing excerpts from the manifesto:
 "I Tn those countries where the con ditions for a workers revolution are not yet ripe, the same process will go on. The use of parliamentarism how ever, is only of secondary importance
 "'The parliamentarism of the Com munist party performs a service in mobilizing the proletariat against capi- talism, emphasizing the political char acter of the class struggle
 The parliamentary processes estab- lished by our government are to be, discarded or used for propaganda pur- poses only and otEer means adopted for overthrowing the government of the United States.
 Strikes are to be broadened and deepened, making them general and militant, and efforts made to develoI their revolutionary complications. The strike is to be used not simply as 8 means to secure redress of economic wrongs but as means through which 
 destroyed. A few excerpts from the Communist party and Communist In ternationale manifestoes Will make these statements evident.
 Thus, in the manifesto and pro gram of the Communist Party oi America, is the following:
 The conquest of the power of the state is accomplished by the mass power of the proletariat. Political mass strikes are a vital factor in de veloping this mass power preparing the working class for the conquest of capitalism. The power of the pro letariat lies fundamentally in it's con trOl of the industrial processes. The mobilizing of this control against cap italism means the initial form of the revolutionary mass action that will conquer the power of the state.
 Mass action is industrial in its origin but it requires political charac ter as it develops fuller forms.
 Strikes of protest develop into general political strikes and then into revolutionary mass action for the con quest of the power of the state Mass action becomes political in purpose.
 "'The Communist party shall par ticipate in mass strikes, not only to achieve the immediate purposes of tho strike, but to develop the revolution ary implications of the mass strikes.
 "'The revolutionary era com
