Of all forms.
NO real cause for unrest or dis

Dor and capital in America are
nearly at balance. Americans
are not blind to the ills of Euro

internal strife are preventing
the orderly conduct of affairs
and where such conditions pre-
vent a well balanced return to
pre-war prosperity.
Americans will not brook the
destructive forces from without to
enter Our Country with pink and
red propaganda designed to dis
rupt the nation and turn its af-
fairs over to an element which
knows no law, either of Man or
God, and destroy the initiative of
hundred and ten millions of
souls
No socialistic or communistic
doctrines can successfully endure
IN any nation and this has been
recognized in America for more

All that the people of the
