DRIVE AGAINST
RADICALS AGAIN
Orders Issued for a Strict
Watch on Activities
Radical Elements.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 22.-
Armed with broadened powers provid-
I'D in the recently enacted alien exclu-
sion act. department Of justice off
cials today announced new drive
against radiCalism.
Orders have been issued, officials
said, for a strict watch on the activi-
ties Of those preaching radicalism and
assisting in spreading theories while
they refrain from actual anarchist ac
tivities themselves.
The oratical red and the parlor boil
shevik are the especial objects Of the
campaign. The advocacy Of sabotage
or opposition TO organized govern
ment by aliens is sufficient to bring
them within the new law the authori-
ties said.
Sabotage in this connection is con
strucd by the depr tment to mean "op-
position to administration of the gov
ernment." Aliens who publish writ
ings aaginst organized government
even though the United States il ex-
ceptcd are liable to deportation.
The financial resources of radical
associations are being carefully scrut-
inizod. Officials declare it is thought
the income Of many will be cut off
by the new law which prohibits giving
or lending money To ancrchistic or
CARNATIONS. Ii is believed the pur-
chase Of red" bonds cCme within the
category.
