be ready to recognize the soviet regime in Russia whenever it takes on the character 1stlcs of a government. What these are are described In our Declaration of Independence:
 "We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain in
 allenable Rights, that among these are Life. Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. That
 to secure these rights, governments are insti- tuted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed'
 ! The rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are completely overthrown in Russia, except for the group of autocrats which exercises dominance there, not by the consent of the governed, but through the use of the bayonet
 There IS no libery of speech or of the press
 Tn Russia. Men who dare to differ politically with the minority in power are killed. After four years of military dictatorship by the communist clique at Moscow, the man who questions the theories of communism is held to have committed capital offense. That there are those who in this country wish to recognize such a system as a government is only evidence that need to take care here
 lest the soviet threats of propagating bolshe- vism in the United States become successful. Certainly by recognition of such a government we would be increasing the possibility of sub- stltutlon of such a system for free government in our own land.
 It may be argued that we recognized the government of the Czar which was almost as bloody and tyrannical as the existing au- tocracy. But that government existed when into baID of recognizinG it as new creation was never presented. It is argued that we recognized the French revolutionary government. That government conducted reign of terror, but it did not adopt terrorism as nermanent system of government, refusing the people Opportunity to choose their representatives in government, as is done in Russia. The Russian soviet republic is in fact a government of 1O0,00OOOO people by 6O0,00O communists. in turn dominated bv few dozen communist dictators. who maintain themselves in power by armed forces This so-called government openly denies the sanctitv of na- tional and nrivate obli@ations and declares war on society as constituted in the United States. It has played to the end of the c+rno its own system of communism and has reduced many millions of people to starvation '" a country caDable or SHSfalnlng lire TOT five times its present population. It has kept i+sn1f in power and in funds only by system of thoft and murder that would have brought the blush of shame to any band of Carribean niratos. Now this oligarchv comes to the doSnised "capitalistic'' countries of the world askno for money and recognition to enable it to keen its foot on the neck of the Russians a while lonoer Anv help or recognition will only be employed to forge the manacles tighter on the limbs of an enslaved people, who if left to themselves will vet rid themselves of masters who deny the rioht of men to think for themselves and speak their thoughts in public.
 It is argued that the Lenine- Trotzkv cabal has kept itself in power a long time. So did Nero Any tvrant with million bavonets and the resources of the nation in his hands can keep the Russians in subiection for some time But it is not our business as nation to assist in the enslavement of people and nut the stamp of responsibility on organized theft murder, rape and ruin.
