ideals OF freedom, justice and quality
hereby without reservation pledge our
loyalty and support to this our Amer
lean government in times Of peace as
We have in war, that We hereby join
in condemning as reasonable all Boil
SheTistic propaganda carried on in this
country whether to miSlead the Amer
can public as to what the Bolsheviki
rule are and mean or to coerce aud
inimidate' the government OF the Uni
te~ States in its just stand in support
OF and efforts to assist in preventing
this new despotism Of Russia from
spreading oyer the world; we point
cut that threaten OF a general strike
in the event the United States govern
ment continues to oppose BolsheTism
and backing Poland in her fight FOR
liberty, justice equality, popular go
rernment and Independence is a part Of
Balsherl propaganda which like So
botaSe and strikes during the war fu-
mented by enemies seeks now In times
Of peace to undermine the government
81 the United States;
&c it further resolved that 1t is the
duty Of every American citizen at this
time to effectively combat Boshersm
and BolSherik propaganda and to do
this it is absolutely necessary first to
stand out actively at all times in this
country for law and order second TO
get the truth shout Poland, its present
struggle, its government and ruralS
spread TO every home in this country (:
third BY encouraging the widest and
most thorough understanding Of the
ideals and principles Of our American
government, OF justice, equality, liber-
" and popular government all Of which
are opposed to and Incompatible with
the BolSheVfk rule and program; -
fourth by getting the truth In all its
hideuEnesS about the bolsherik rule
and bolshevism the clear object Of
which as shown in Russia is to make
a junk shop Of Christianity and dvi-
lization Of the world; fifth By urging
every person OF foreign birth who
comes % live IN this country b en-
joy its opportunities and blessings to
become without delay a part OF our
citizenship and loyal TO the United
States;
Be Il further resolved that we
hereby cali attention OF the Ameri-
a press and public generally that
the BolsAeT4k propaganda carried
On In this country to deceive the
people Is at present IN the main d.
rected agains Poland; that while
Poland Is fighting for her self pre-
seTyahon, while the Polish nation
Is fighting for freedom and indie
pendence, while Polish men and
women shed their blood so that ju-
stice, equality, liberty and popular
government may prevail IN the new
republic OF Poland the Bolsheyik
propaganda seeks to place Poland
IN 4 false light; Poland at this time
Is fighting q noble cause; Poland
at no time in her struggle as a new
republic has sought conquest or ex-
tension OF territory beyond those pla
ces, which are her own and popula-
ted BY her people and systematic
attempts to make her appear other
wise are for the purpose Of helping
the Bolsheyiks and injuring the
u Of Poland; that Poland at this
time is fighting the battle for civil
lization and Christianity against the
greatest menace and ~deSpotism Of
modern times; that VI emphasize
and ask all Americans to note, that
Poland from the very beginning has
stood ready to enter into an homer
Nble and just peace, but that the i'm
perialistic plans OF the Bolshevik,
-ule striking at the freedom and
independence Of the Polish nation
have forced Poland against her will
20 fight on in the face Of great odds;
Be it further resolved that we
rejoice in the reports that the Pc
fish army is driving the BolsheriSs
from Polish soil and we urge that
mindful OF the historical experien-
ces Of the past the Polish nation
continue to defend its ideals Of free
dom. equality. justice and popular
government. until they are safe and
firmly established and not permit
itself to be submerged In the mena-
e OF Bolshevism or Bolsheyik rule;
Be it further resolved that as
Americans we condemn Bolshevism
