Senator Henry L. Myers of Montana,
the guest and principal speaker of the
evening. declared himself strongly. in
favor Of the half-and-half plan.
Congress may feel" the Senator
continued. shat In the City Club II
has a good partner in the building up
of the Capital OF our country. 1t is
the duty of Congress to see that
Washington is made a fitting city for
the Capital of the greatest and most
enlightened nation on the face of the
earth. Congress should be willing to
do its share toward the upbuilding of
Washington. To abandon the half
and half plan would be to take q step
backward" Ea..
speaking Of the conditions pre-
vailing throughout the country, Sem
ntor Myers said that an insidious
poison in the form OF Bolshevist
propaganda was being spread about
through many Of our schools,
churches, and periodicals..
| He lamented the fact that the
! had not been passed by the House.
Raps Red Propaganda.
Senator Myers reads at length from
red" pamphlet, describing in de-
tail the supposed operations of the
! soviet governments In Russia He
said there were details contained in
! that pamphlet, describing some Of the
soviet principles, which were not Mt
to be read in a public assembly.
IT believe in liberty" said the Sem
ator, "but I do not believe in the
| liberty that would overthrow the best
Government the world has ever
known.
Russian propagandists will con-
tinue to operate in this country until
the Congress of the United States
gets some of the backbone that the
New York legislature had when 1t
expelled Ave of its assemblymen.
| Would Overthrow q. 8.
THE business men of the country
should create sentiment strong
enough to compel Congress to enact
legislation that will expel from the
country every hydra-headed viper
that attempts to undermine our in
stitutions."
Senator Myers ventured the asser-
tion that at least 1000. 0OO persons in
this country were working to over
throw the Government He said this
figure might conceivably reach q
0O0,0 900 as our attention Is called
only to the "few bold spirits" who
put deed to thought.
The Senator appealed to the busi-
ness men OF Washington to assist in
eradicating Bolshevist thoughts from
the country.
