knew whether 1t was true or not, don't
you think 1t would make n great deal
Of difference in this old world Of ours
II we would all do this, how much Of
our seeming trouble would vanish Into
thin nothingness because we would
find 1t was founded ON something not
true.
How many people know there 10 a
large and well managed movement In
this country to overthrow our govern.

that aiding or advancing this move
ment In some one Of its phases there
are published In this country around
800 newspapers, magazines, period
icalA ETC.? How many people know
that there Is not a night In the year
upon which hundreds Of lecturers do
not appear before audiences In the
United States to aid and advance this
movement? And how many people
know that this movement Is furnishing
most Of the suggestions or statements
reaching US from one source or anoth-
fr which hsys . tendency to arouse in
d Unrest, distfust, III feeling or class
hatred1
Those who are directing this move
msnt 60 on the theory-which Is quite
corrsct-that people will adopt us true,
and act upon 1t as true, any suggestion
or statement which is In harmony with
their desires, or offer seeming ex-
cuse for their troubles; and that in 20
accepting they never stop to investi-
gate to see whether the suggestion or
statement Is true or not.
And SO the leaders Of this movement,
the publications employed, the speak
ers, lecturers or organizers Of some
one Of their many organizations, are
busily engaged in furnishing to the
American people suggestions that have
q tendency to arouse unrest, distrust,
III feeling and class hatred. When
working with certain groups they
frankly call their efforts "class CON
sciousness that is, they admit their
purpose Is to divide the people into Ar
bitrary classes, and arouse In each a
bitter feeling against those In all other
so-called classes, because 1t il, through
this sort Of disturbed mental atti-
tude" Of the nation they hope, in the
cod, to force their constantly talked
about revolution"
1t 10 because Of this movement at
work even down to the most remote
community, although naturally work
ing far harder In the more thickly set
tied communities, that the people are
confronted every day with suggestions
reaching them In some form and
through some medium, that have a
tendency to cause them to distrust
some one-tO distrust the banker. the
merchant with whom they do business,
the lumber dealer, the public utility,
management Of the railroad. A farm.
