! Donald Nc01bnsy, New York
onthor, speaker at the Moline After-
Dinner club last evening, urged uni
neeal military training a. safe
4aa1d against bolshevtsm and revo-
luton.
ne radicals and L W. W. are
gradually obtaining control OF the
American Federation OF Labor, &C
coeding to Mr.. McGibney, who
claimed that the recent strikes OF
the coal, steel and railroad work
- was only part Of their plans for
Q gigantic strike and revolution.
While in service in the intelli-
gsnce department Of the United
States army, the speaker said he
was assigned to remove . noted
Italian anarchist, who destroyed
property worth millions Of dollars
every year. The anarchist re-
cslved 10 per cent Of the value OF
the property destroyed from the
German government
Mr.. McGibney painted q striking
picture Of the present upheaval IN
Russia, and outlined the possibility
OF 100000 revolutionists marching
into Moline. He declared, however,
that II America prepares the rad
icals will never succeed In over
throwing the government Of the
United States. He said that the
American Legion will also serve as
. permanent fortress against boil
shevism.
The former army man issued a
touching appeal for relief Of ex-
soldiers. He especially pleaded for
the men who were wounded, and
have not recovered. 1.-THE facilities
for taking care of the wounded are
absolutely inadequate" he declared.
mot one person In thousand gave
a thought last Christmas to the
$4,000 wounded soldiers in our hos
pitfalls.
THE radicals are trying to win
the ex-service men while our gov
@nment is playing politics with the
bonus. Now they tell us that it will
be paid in 1921-just in time for our
children. You need a real relief bu-
reau in Washington with man al
head OF 1t who has not time for red
tape, who will hold out his hand day
and night for soldiers who neet
help"
Speaking OF universal militar!
training, Mr.. McGibney said, If WI
can get the boys for four months
we will soon clear the radicals from
n our body polite. Four months, o
military service will make Gu
youths understand what our grea
government means and will be tn
best antidote for bolshevism.
I'VE need universal training TO
the sake of defense. Switzerland
was the only nation not insulted b,
Germany, because Germany knew
Switzerland was prepared.
I'VE need universal service To-
health's sake. During the war /
was discovered that 81 per cent o
our men were unfit to serve. Civ,
the boys four months training an.
they'll come back cleaner men
better sons, better husbands, an,
better citizens. II a man isn't fl
to defend his home he isn't fit Il
own one.
For every man who fought in tn,
last war there was one who had ,
yellow streak. The next time tn
other fellow will go first, and wei
be on the draft board to see that h
does"
The speaker, who said he was II
Gary at the time Of the steel strike
suggested to Paul B. Blazer, attor
ney for the strikers, that the strik
was not success. According t
Mr.. McGibney. the attorney said:
Some time all the strikes will
come at the same time. That viii
mean a revolution"
Blazer told me-" continued tn,
speaker, that the coal strike wa
coming. He also told me that Their
would be railroad strike and
stockyards strike. So far his pre-
dictions have almost come true.
The I. w. VS. are creeping int
the American Federation Of Labo
where they are preaching indus
trial war. Twelve internationa
labor union leaders have forme
!. w. VS. as presidents or secre
taries."
ALLEN and negro problems ar,
other items to be considered In con
nection with the threatening revo
luton" declared the speaker.
There are 10000, 900 Aliens" h,
declared, who hate this govern
ment. They are an easy prey To-
the bolshevist The south is bein,
organized for a race war. The 1922
bolsheviet conference at Amster
dam endorsed the race war, partic
ularly in America. II we escape i
will be by a miracle. There is rae,
trouble everywhere, and the negr,
Is continually demanding NOR,
rights.
"Judge Ebert Gary was rish
during the steel strike, becaus,
Gary knew. Gary knew there wa.
a plot to get 100000 alien stee
workers In the American Fedora.
ton OF Labor. get the radical ele.
ment in control and call a general
strike.
Tho radicals are not theorists
The radical movement is backed by
brains We must take the pledge t.
realize more fully our duty az
American citizens and ever be ready
to defend our government and our
homes"
