United States Infested
With Bolshevik ENJOYS

"The first is that Russian Bclshev-
ism has set out upon definite under
taking to destroy all existing demo-
cratic governments, and it is carrying
on an extensive and vigorous propa-
ganda to accomplish that end. 1t has
a vast multitude of missionaries at
work not only in Europe but in the
United States, who by misrepresenting
the actual and promising the impos-
sible are trying to win labor over
to their plan for establishing a dicta-
torship Of the proletariat.
They have made some headway in
the United States, chiefly among the
foreignborn laborers and against the
intelligent opposition Of the great lead
ers Of organized labor in America. The
assault is too substantial to be wisely
ignored. America is full of Intelligent
sia, and we cannot afford to have them
all turned by terror into parlor Boil
sheviki.
eve are already meeting the assault
in two ways. Wher. NC hnd one of
these Bolshevik missionaries or his
converts inciting criminal overthrow of
government by violence, we punish him
or deport him. That is lawful and SEN
sible.
"The right of free speech does not
include the right to incite to crime.
Yet, we must be careful not to over
look the distinction. Let there be fair

control extends to the workmen them-
selves. No strikes are. permitted.
"No election by soviets have been
permitted to stand unless the persons
elected wers friendly to Lenine and
Trotzky. 1t would seem as If the meth
dds employed were designed to ex-
terminate all who did not belong to
the sRW1iss RTHlstarlas; d;sner.,no. arre,tinp and
tho proletariat says: "I shall break
your will, because my will Is stronger
than yours, and I shall force you to
monstration Of the will and strength
fof the working class is historically
justified, precisely because the prole-
tariat was able thereby to break the
political will of the intelligensia,
pacify the professional men of various
categories and work, and gradually
subordinate them to it's own aims
within the fields of their specialties.'
ain the mean time the economic con-
dition Of Russia has gone from bad to
worse. The collapse of industry, the
breakdown of transportation, the star
vation and misery Of millions of peo-
pie, without any practical constructive
measures Of relief, are appalling be-
yond expression.
II am not going to discuss the merit
Of these two systems. There is no
shadow Of doubt as to which kind of
government the people Of the United
States stand for. Ey an overwhelming
majority the people Of the United
States and Of every state mean to
maintain Lincoln's government of the
people by the people and for the
people.
"They will no more be governed by
a class of laborers than they will be
governed by class Of aristocrats, or
a class of plutocrats, or a class of
soldiers. They will trust the justice
and maintain the power and enforce
the will of the American democracy as
a whole. That, of course, is where
the Republican party will stand
"This is so plain that there would
be no justification for talking about it,
except for two things.

Second, that the government which

to the will of those whose rights it is
intended to secure expressed through

There are three things essential to
the maintenance of such a system of
government. One is that there shall be
universal opportunity for education,

forcement of law.
"A congress of all nations should be
called to consider and declare what of
international law still remains of bind
ing force, and to provide for the fur
ther development and extension of that
law, and for the application of the law
to all justiciable cases of controversy
between nations by impartial judicial
tribunals, and to make the decisions
of such tribunals upon questions OF
fact and upon questions of law bind,
ing and effective. That is the old
American doctrine, and that is the
necessary method Of democracies, for
democracies can live only under gov
ernments of laws, and not Of men.
Wilson's Extraordinary
Letters to Lansing
"The extreme effects of the posses
sion of arbitrary power are seen in
the extraordinary letters of the Pres
ident to Secretary Lansing published
on February IA, 1920, by which it ap-
pears that honest and independent adj
vice from officers Of the Presidents
own selection is an offense, and that
the exercise Of the most ordinary
powers of the heads of departments
without consulting the President when
his illness prevented consultation is
cause for resentment.
at is interesting to observe that
many citizens-oflicial and UNOFFICIAL
who are willing that the country should
assume the startling obligations of Ar
ticle x are opposing the system of uni
versal military training, without which
our obligation would be worthless, and
which intensively applied enabled the
United States to turn the scale of war
against Germany.
They say we have millions Of young
men already trained, but how long is
the service which these splendid and
patriotic youths have already rendered
to their country to be made the ground
for imposing upon them exclusively the
burden Of further service, and leaving
the millions of young men who come to
military age year after year unframed
and untitled to Go their part for the de-
fense of our country?
"One result of the war and of the
universal unrest which has followed it
has been to force upon the American
democracy series of questions which
involve the very life of the nation.
"These questions arise from widely
different causes, and each presents it's
own special problems - Bolshcvisn,
Americanization of immigrants, the de-
portation or discipline of seditious
aliens, the relations of capital and
labor under new conditions, the rela-
tions Of organized labor to the public,
the coal supply, the railroads, the pres
ervation of public health, security for
the life of the community. and oppor-
tunity for the pursuit of happiness by
its members.
"Here ia a great varietv Of srhiar
but the method Of treating all of them
must depend upon clear conception
of what our system of government is,
and what we mean it to be. Our gov
ernment rests upon certain very simple
ideas,

Praises Senators Who
Opposed Peace Treaty =.

"The Presidents defiance of the au-
thority of the Senate to advise upon
the covenant for the league Of nations,
and to give or withhold it's consent to
the ratification of the treaty contain
ing it, was an assertion of right to
continue the same autocratic power,
1t was not question of Senatorial
dignity or consequence. We need care
little for that
at was a challenge to the right of
any officer of the government Of the
United States to exercise his powers
in any way which had not the approval
of the Chief Executive. The President
had the constitutional authority and
duty to negotiate a treaty. The Senate
had the constitutional authority and
duty to advise and to consent or re-
fuse to consent in accordance with
their judgment.
"The right to perform that duty was
challenged. BY all the tremendous
power of a President commanding mil
lions of civil and military subordinates
and controlling the expenditures Of
billions of money, Senators were
threatened if they did not submit their
judgment to the Presidential will.
Many questions were difficult and
doubtful.

ed to the conditions of peace and sub
ject to the limitations upon power of
our constitutional system.
There is double immediate pur-
pose to be served. One, to restore the
habit of freedom. 1t is dangerous for
people to acquire the habit of bow
ing to power without limits. They
soon become subservient, and then
character essential to freedom degen-
crates. The other is. to stop a multi
tude of interferences, ill-judged al
though we'll. meant, with the natural

natural laws can operate to restore
normal conditions. es

October, 1918, for the election of a
Democratic Congress, which the people
refused by so great a majority was
not merely an injustice to the Repub-
lican Senators and Representatives
who with splendid loyalty had sup
ported every forward step of the Ad-
ministration and had responded to
every suggestion for the grant of in
creased powers. e-asr
at was demand for the continuance
of supreme power by the election of a
Congress which would submit itself to
the orders of an executive acting at
once as party leader in politics and
q dictator in government.
at was the instinct of the Ameri-
can democracy that repelled the de-
mand. Such has long been the gov
eminent of Mexico Such must not be
the government of the United States.

Lenine and Trotzky are now exercising
absolutely despotic power in large
part of Russia in the name Of the
proletariat through reign Of terror
and violence which makes the French
Revolution seem mild and conserva-

Trend in Direction
OF Universal Suffrage

arhe whole course Of development OF
free self-rovernment from monarchial
and aristocratic forms has been in the
direction Of more and more universal
suffrage and more complete power or
the majority of all who live under the
government
"We have reached, a point where
neither religion, nor occupation, nor
color nor race, ror property, nor pow
erty, nor degree Of education, excludes
anv man from the opportunity to take
part in his own government by his
vote. In the greater part of the coun-
trv this is extended to both sexes.
Our government is a government di-
rected by the majority of all who are
governed.
"Bolshevism is government Of all
the people of country by a part OF
the people constituting single class
called the proletariat,' or mass Of
industrial workmen who have no capital
casual employment. All others are
grouped with the 'bourgeois,' and are
to have no part in government.
"This system has been tried for the
last two years in Russia. Its purpose
was set forth in an authentic state
ment from Petrograd in January, 1919,
as follows:
"The aim Of the proletarat must now
be Immediately to conquer power. To
conquer power means to destroy the
governmental apparatus of the bour-
geoisie and to organize a new prole-
tartan government apparatus. This
new apparatus must express the die
tatorship Of the proletariat.
"The dictatorship of the proletariat
must be the accession for the immedi-
ate appropriation Of capital and the
elimination of the private right of own
ing the means Of production through
making them common property.
"Ihe governmental apparatus Of the
proletariat employed In Russia is the
soviet system, under which the work.
men in each industry in each locality
select delegates to a kind of central
soviet or committee, which in turn
selects few men to exercise the
powers Of government.
