PROPAGANDA IS
BEING SPREAD BY
BOLSHEVISTS

WASHINGTON, D. c., JULY 21.--
Several weeks ago Secretary of State
kellogg, in an address to a Mime
sofa audience warned against foreign
propaganda which has for it's direct
ain the injury of the United States.
That this warning vas most time
ly is evidenced by the fact hat the
Government has learned that the So
Wet Government has a fully equip
ned, we'll supplied with money, Or
ganization in operation in Washing
ton. The headquarters of the Soviet
in the United States are located on
Connecticut Avenue, one of Wash
ington's fashionable sections of the
city, and, while those in charge
blandly disavow any intention of try
ing to influence the people of the
United States in favor of the Soviet
form Of government, it is most I'M
likely that this headquarters has, or
will confine, itself merely to the
sending out of formal trade re-
ports"
The establishment of this head
quarters was evidently selected by
the Soviet leaders at a time when
they thought they could SOW seeds
of d%issention in the minds of the
citizens of this country, but they had
reckoned without advance knowledge
of what the Supreme Court of the
United States was going to do in
the matter of unfolding the New
York state law against the preach
ment of anarchy. The decision of
this, our highest legal body, will
strengthen the operation of existing
statutes and will no doubt result
in the passage of new laws in many
states, lays hat will be aimed
at ~communistic doctrines.
The average citizen is too busy
with his own personal affairs to in
vestigate the object of bolshevistic
activities to any great extent, but If
n takes the time they will find
that the men who scout the exist
ence of God, who advocate free love,
common law marriages and $1.40 di-
vorces, are industriously spreading
their doctrines, not only in the
United States but throughout the
world. For instance. a member of
the French Chamber OF Deputies, a
communist, has been found in direct
communication with the enemies of
his country. A Soviet agent in
China was found to be a member of
the Agitation Department The
Agitation Department" is n Gre
ated for the sole purpose of sowing
seeds of discord in contended and
prosperous communities throughout
the world. No lesser an individual
than Honorable Robert Underwood
johnson, former American Ambas-
sador to Italy. states that we appear
to be on the v Of new upheavals
In many countries of the globe. He
says that unrest has been fomented
in India, Afganistan. Persia, China.
Morocco, and Mexico. All the great
powers, England, Germany, Italy,
France and Japan. have burnt their
fingers at this nephitic flame. Only
the United States, with prudence
and a foresight almost amounting
to clairvoyance, has resisted this ad-
vance. Honorable Charles Evans
Hughes, when Secretary of State.
openly denounced any recognition of
the Soviet Government. Secretary
of State Kellogg takes the same po-
sition.
Mexico has within her borders to-
day direct agents OF the Soviet Gov
eminent who are doing their best to
stir up trouble between the United
States and that country. So far the
efforts OF the Reds in this country
have failed to impress the farmer,
the workman. or the business man,
The only ones appearing to listen
with any degree OF seriousness to
the communistic teachings OF these
Russian agents is the small class OF
higher intellectuals'-the kind OF
individuals who are always talking
of reforming this or hat but who
never do any actual work either for
their families or for their country.
