sive. Active in Big Cities.
NEW YORK, N. Y.-Working
under very explicit instructions from
the soviet government of Russia
thousands of men and women in the
United States are laboring aggressive
ly in the blind hope of overthrowing
this government
Agents of the department of justice
in New York and other large cities of
the country have gathered abundant
evidence to prove this, and large
store of conhrmatory material has
been forwarded to Washington. The
plotters and schemers whom the
agents Of the government are keeping
their eyes on belong to the communist
party or its affiliates and are directed
by Lenine and Trotzky.
OF this effort, made by the COM
munists in America, Chief Justice
Thompson, of the supreme court of
Illinois, recently said:
The doctrines advocated are not
harmless-they are a menace, and it
behooves Americans to be on their
guard to meet and combat the move
ment, which, if permitted to progress
as contemplated, may undermine and
endanger our cherished institutions"
Movement Is Menacing.
Although this radical movement is
considered menacing by the Washing
ton authorities, it is realized that it
lacks proper conditions to thrive and
become formidable The leaders chos-
eli to carry out this pretentious pro-
gram would move quickly and vigor-
ously, however, if the opportunity
they are trying to force should come.
In the hope OF precipitating nation
wide struggle, these anti-Americans
are preaching, teaching, training and
organizing throughout the land. The
head men of this campaign, however,
have encountered two very serious OBJ
stacles to the carrying out of their
plans.
Leaders Ultra-Radicals.
First they have failed to make a
favorable impression on millions OF
true Americans, who, though poor IN
worldly goods, believe they have the
best country and the fairest govern
ment in the world; and, second, they
fear the laws of state and nation.
The foregoing statement is support
ed by documents and communications
from Russian headquarters contained
in reports of federal officers assigned
to the communist groups. The Amer
lean leaders in this seditious movement
come from the anarchists, the Indus
trial Workers of the World, the left
wing socialists, and other ultra-radlcal
groups.
Many Blind Followers.
The number of these communist agi-
tators and their followers is from 400,
600 to 100000, according to the most
accurate estimate of their forces. Many
OF these followers are innocent. of the
real purpose of their leaders, but they
are against the present state of affairs.
They do not realize that their plat
form of principles would destroy the
republic and put in its place a work
ers' republic"
Briefly, the communists would
abolish the capitalist state, seize the
instruments of production and distribu-
ton and establish the dictatorship OF
the proletariat." They would organize
all non-unionized workers, enter the
existing unions and bore from with
in" to break them up, and then unite
the 1aboring class against the capital
list class.
The communist group in this coun-
try has sprung up and fourlshed since
the world war. 1t is composed largely
of foreigners, many thousands OF Rus
slams being active members.
