Patriots in Columbus, Ohio
turned an angry eye on the pro
ceedings at the Columbus Y. w
C. A. where nationally known
communists convened to consoli
date the American Sudden

trial Democracy. One of the
communist leaders lauded the
convention because of the fact
that the American flag was no.
toriously conspicuous by its alb
sence from the meetings and on
the convention platform.
The American Legion of Cen
trail Ohio, resenting the insult to
the flag of the United States, pro-
tested to the Y. w. c. A. against
the continued use of the build
ing for the carrying on of this
convention, but in spite of their
protests, the meeting went on.
AS an aftermath of this COM
munistic gathering and unpatri-
otto action on the part of those
participating therein, there arose
a militant group of citizens de-
termined to preserve our present
form of constitutional govern
ment against the onslaughts of
such subversive forces.
A foundation was Immediately
in Columbus known as
''The Constitution Foundation, ,"
that has for its purpose the rails
ing of funds to defend the con-
stitution of the United States of
America by means of construc-
tive education and to preserve
fundamental Americanism by in
vestigation of and by actively
combating all subversive groups
that have as their purpose the
overthrow of or drastic change
in our present form of govern
nent.

made by teachers of communism,
and through them the high school
and college students, the flame of
real Americanism was famed in :

To raise funds for combating
communism, the Constitution
Foundation, which has been
formed by reputable citizens of
Columbus and guided BY men
whose sincerity as American
citizens, loyal to our oonstitu-
tional form of government, has
been proven, not by word of
mouth, but by bearing arms in
defense of that constitutional
form of government, has hit up
on the idea of raising funds by
copyrighting and using a beauti-
fully Autographed adhesive stamp
bearing the portrait in profile of
Washington and the inscription
Protect Our Constitution" all
done in combination of red,
white and blue. These stamps are
sold in sheets of 100, being made
in the same general style as post
age stamps. 1t is believed they
will grow in popularity.
The funds derived from the
sale of these stamps by the Con-
stitution Foundation will be used
to combat any form of subversive
movements, communistic and
otherwise, that have for their pur-
pose or that have a tendency to
destroy our present form Of con-
stitutional government and to
raise funds to promote the Stu

corporated in Columbus, Ohio, to
weld the patriotic students of the
nation into an organization to
promote patriotism and combat

For many years this organiza-
ton had the campus and schools
to itself, that is, as far as the cir
culation of revolutionary propa-
ganda, lecturers, and the organ
ization of radicalism was con-
cerned, but in the fall of 1881 a
friendly competitor, the New
York Student League which
later became the National Stu i.
dent League, entered the field.
Socialists and communists alike
participated in the activities of
this new radical movement. Win
ston Dances, of the Young Peo-
pies Socialist League, and Max
Weiss, of the Young Communist
League, were its charter mem
bers. The latter was expelled
from the City College of New
York for his revolutionary activ-
tiles there.
The National Student League
admitted that it was closely con-
nected with the Proletarian
Youth Organization of Russia,
an international communist and
atheist youth movement directed
from Moscow. The Information
al Youth, the newsorgan of the
Young Communist International
of Russia, in its Volume 2, 1885,
instructed the American youth as
follows:

The pledge taken by the re.

tain groups organize people to
refuse to defend the United
States Government in case of
war, whether it be brought by the
enemy within or without, the
adult groups of the communist
forces are organizing other forces
for that revolutionary overthrow
of our Government, and are des-
perately fighting legislation now

The publicly announced pro-

2. To defend right of free
