WARNS
AMERICA OF
RED PERIL

LONDON, Sept. 10 0.N.S0.-A
leading member Of the British no
bility who has twice married
American women today issued an
appeal for Anglo-American coop
Grafton to safeguard the individual
freedom of the English-speaking
people from the menace Of Com
muniSm.
The appeal was made by Lord
Queensborough, Knight Grand
Cross of the Order of the British
Empire and noted British patriot
Ban All AgitatOrs
Warning that If Communism
were to triumph in Europe a
vigorous assault" would be made
upon the United States because
a bolshevik Europe could not and
would not tolerate the existence
of a free America, Lord Queen
borough urged that the Amerl-
can authorities cooperate with
the British in preventing the
entry Of "alien agitators" into
their respective countries.
The text Of Lord Queenbor-
ough's statement read:
"Since Communism Is now
definitely a worldwide problem
It is obviously Of supreme I'M
pOrtance that the English-speak-
ing peOpIeS-the British empire
and the United States Of Amer
ica-should, without delay, de-
vote their joint and close atten-
ton to it.
Communism Is BOlsheviSm,
and this has meant in Russia
the deliberate extinction Of the
intelIigentSia-the educated and
cultured cIaSSeS-with the ex-
ception of q favored few who
were themselves Communists.
parallel with the calculated
cruelty and oppression which
companied the establishment Of
BOIsheviSm in Russia, q world
wide agitation has been DELHI
erateIy carried on from Moscow
to spread revolution and cOnSe-
quent chaos throughout every
civilized country. Such is the
proclaimed and continually re-
iterated policy Of the tyrants Of
Moscow.
MARX ADMITTED BARRIER
"The English-speaking peo-
pies, with their long traditions
Of freedom and justice in gov
eminent, offer the strongest
natural barrier to the spread Of
Communism, as Karl Mark him
self admitted years ago.
1.-THE price Of freedom, 1t
has been said, is eternal
vigilance. The authorities both
of Great Britain and the United
States, would perform q real
service in the cause Of economic
recovery and peace if they were
to use the strongest measures to
prevent the entry of alien agi-
tators and Of revolutionary
propaganda from alien sources,
into their respective countries.
I'VE have, in the present
tragic civil war In Spain, a
fOrcibIe example Of the result Of
the activities Of imported pOliti-
cal firebrands, the agents Of the
COmintern, who made it their
business to create trouble, and
to magnify, distOrt and exploit,
such discomfort as did exist
among the populations of the
countries on whom they beStOW
their subsidized and unwelcOme
attentions.
LOVE FREEDOM
'The British and American
people stand firmly by the prin-
ciple of personal freedom, but
in these days when all our for
mer prosperity and order are
challenged, we must learn the
value Of cooperation and submit
to the temporary abandonment
of minor differences, largely of
. personal nature, in order to
preserve that mode of living,
upon which our whole greatness
and Christian civilization has
been based.
"a strong and united America,
in which love of country and
sense Of the individuals duty to
the nation were made the key
note of education, would be of
inestimable value in safeguard
ing the peace and progress Of
- the world, and would offer a
precious example to those who,
in Great Britain, are inclined to
seek a panacea for present ills
from alien sources - sources
moreover, which lack the ma
turity and vast political expe.
rience of the people of England.
NEXT STEP U. s. A.
''Let the U. S. A. make no mis-
take. If, as a result of conflict
in Europe, that continent were
to become bOlshevised from the
North Sea to the boundaries of
Asia, from Archangel to the
Mediterranean, the next step
