propaganda OF the Reds" during the
new year II reads:
1T would be extremely helpful to the
cauSe OF GOOD government, the main
tenaHcc OF Law and order and the pres
ervafion Of peace and happiness IN our
country If 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 insidious attacks.
"7ed" Theories Criminal.
1.-THE Red movement does not mean
an attitude of protest against alleged
defects in our present political and
economic organization of society. II
does not represent the radicalsm OF
progress. 1t represents q specific doc
trine-namely, the Introduction of die
tatorships the world over by force and
violence. II Is not q movement Of lib
erty-loying persons, but a distinctly
criminal and dishonest movement.
Lenine himself made the statement at
the Third Soviet Conference, Among
cne hundred so-called BolShevists there
is one real Bolshevik. thirty-nine Grim
inals and sixty fools 1t 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
vor of the power of the few built by
force Bolshevism. Sgndlcalisrn. the
Soviet Government, sabotage. etc., are
only names for old theories OF violence
and criminaIity.
Russian Labor Crushed.
Though their adherents Ia this coun-
try are advocating and fomenting
strikes. Lenine and Trotzky forbid
strikes. and trade unions are being
broken up and completely subordinated
to the will of the few denagogues In
control in Russia. This BolslieviSt ex-
pertinent on the living body OF the
Russian people has not proven In any
sense CT the word an { pcriinent in
Democracy The BoIshevist leaders
frankly repudiate democratic Drinci-
pies as we understand them. 1t has
been gamble which meant for Rus-
sia, and. indeed, for the whole OF hu-
mainly, enormous losses ia lives as
well as in material resources. The
Bolshevists have run up colossal bill
which the Russian workmen and peas
ants viii have to pay.
aReds" Menace America.
Having lived OF 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 ideaiists, social bigots and many
men and women suffering
with varying forms Of hyperesthesia.
They are enemies OF the government,
&C the church and Of the home and adj
vocate principles which mean the aboiil
tion Of all three OF these safeguards of
civilization.
