organization. The Trade union Unity
has organized what they call revolt
~utionary trade unions in something
like thirty industries. None of these
communist unions have any connec-
ton with the American Federation
of Labor and, in fact have been re-
pudiated by the Federation.
The communist party has a known
stregnth of probably a little over a
million in the United States. This
includes both active members and
sympathizers and -~flaetuates with
economic conditions.
1t is through these many agencies
that the Communist party expects
TO put oven it's program of violence
and hatred. They teach all this and
more without limit. The theory is
not a dogma but a manual Of action.
When met with opposition that
would be detrimental to them or
when in Court it is their duty to de-
ny many of the above statements
and use every means to explain
their real meaning. According to
PartyLinstructions- those comrades
who are unable to maneuver, tenn
porize and compromise to eyade an
unfavorable situation or an unprof-
liable battle are good for nothing in
the revolutionary movement. They
are instructed to utilize every breach
to zig-zag on their course to retrace
their steps If necessary, to go the
whole length of any sacrifice, to re-
sort to strategy and adraitness, IL
legal proceedings, ~reticense and
subterfuge, to anything at any cost
in order to further the Communist
plans.
Through the medium Of clever
propagandists they ale continually
battering at the foundations of our
public schools, colleges, churches,
courts Of justice, army and navy,
patriotic societies, f~raternal organ
izations, labor unions and our pol
itical system and economic structure
with the express purpose Of under
mining and destroying them. Even
our Government and every other
American Ilstitution are openly de-
clared by them to be mere instrum-
ents Of capitalism to be destroyed.
They do not recognize our con-
stitution and laws as binding upon
them but seek the protection and
use Of such parts of it as may be
used against us and to further their
warld revolution and control.
One important phase of Commun-
list activity is to promote pacifism
and disarmament in the United
States and other so-called capitalist
governments, with the intention OF
weakening the armed forces Of these
countries while the Soviet maintains
the largest peace time army that the
world has seen. Many ministers OF
the gospel, school and college pro
professor and other influential ideal
lists are either knowingly or un-
knowingly carrying out this pro
gram.
At Communist summer camps fo1
children, throughout the United
States bright boys and girls taught
these vile doctrines which destroy
all personal morality and vivic pro
bity and they usually emerge as full
Pledged rebels, bound heart and sou.
TO a foreign power.
Leninis command-"Destroy first
their idealogy' is being carried oui
by thousands.
Communismt is destructive mo-
constructive.
No clear thinking American will
deny that we have our problems, bui
! these problems can be settled in 1
constructive manner without the
dictates of a foreign influence which

a means Of fastening their dictat
J orship upon us.
