sixth OF the earth's surface ruled by
a dictatorship which Acknowledges no
law and hold a people in %subJection.
Shall these things come to pass in
America?
''The representatives OF the Reds met
recently In the Michigan woods and
the evidence gathered by the crNarn.

was to be used asa means TO spread
Ing to n government investigator:
There Is q clear trail of svidanGs in
the captured documents leading from
the Russian Communist Internationale
to recent u%prisings. In .~conhseated
portfolios were plans written by sec

Future Alignment
The speaker then claimed that in
the future the lines Of battle in po-
liticaf contests would be between
those who believed in private owner
ship and. those who believed In gov
eminent ownership: between those
who believed In representative gov
eminent and those who believed tn
the soviet form of government. We
should understand these forces of de-
combat them. The men/and women
>of America are sound thinkers: they
know that here have come all classes,
all races, all creeds to build. for each
other to work for a common cad and
that to give the greatest degree of
happiness to all.
Bangs Speaks.
Holding foolish and destructive
criticism of the judiciary up for~ the
attention Of the attorneys, President
Tracy r. Bangs, in the annual ad-
dress /of the president Of the associA-
ton today asked for a greater loyalty
and a more prompt defense Of the
courts as a. method Of increasing the
power of government. President
Bangs took az his subject, THE
SGovernment by the courts is a
'bogy man that is held up to the gaze
Of the public by those who are at
tempting to destroy our government
but, who knowing the love OF the
American for a constitutional and
representative form rot government,
dare not boldly attack the form itself
but hope to attain the same end, a
Soeialistic order, by destroying the
power of the judiciary" declared the
president IN the beginning Of his an
nual address.
In this attempt to ,sovietize this
country through the destruction OF Its
courts these enemies of law and or
der are unconsciously aided by many
well-meaning but thoughtlsss persons
and organizations. who indulge in
foolish and destructive CRITICISM and l
feel that we, AZ attorneys ana officers
of.the court, should at all times exert
our greatest efforts In maintaining the
courts at a high standing and vigor-
ously countering all destructive criti-
cism and unjust attacks.
1T Is not ~infrequent that we hear
someone, generally'a rather knowing
person. on a railroad train, holding
forth on some claimed miscarriage OF
justice, sowing seeds<of destruction,
and dissatisfaction with the courts OF
the land, When such a person speaks
In my presence I always ask him
about the trial and what facts were
actually developed, and I have vet to
find n of these travelling Orators
who had actual knowledge Of the
case Of which he spoke and of the
facts and law applicable thereto.
Vicious Results.
Foolish and destructiv criticism,
however, is not confined to the noisy
man of the railroad tain for the pur-
veyor Of this governmental poison
may be- and Is found on every hand
speaking, as I have said, generally ir
a thoughtless manner, but always
with results that are vicious.
Let us consider for a moment the
latest court action Of national i'm.
p%ortance, and it's reception by those
on whom it was to operate, az we'll as
the public. ~
Public Suffers.
"For two months the public hal
been suffering from a great strike OF
the railroad shop crafts unions, q
strike not against the action of an,
railroad corporation, but against thu
action of a government board raised
to protect the interest Of the en-,
ployes Of the employers, and of thu
public.
"The strike was nationwide and
involved more than 900, 900 men.
Unless the railroads were able tt
fill the places OF, the strikers witt

the fruit growers OF the south ant

growers Of the northwest. ~
