.TOday'S nationwide radical movement
makes one of its strongest appeals to the
young people of the country. In the field
of propaganda this appeal is one of the
most thorough and enticmg that has ever
been made by the radicals in this country.
Young men and women of voting age, and
those of younger ages who are annually
becoming voters, number tens of millions
in this nation and so long as votes are need
cd TO serve the purpose of the radical move
ment this considerable portion of the popu-
lation is one of the largest and most fertile
fields for exploitation. 80 '.%. @,.
If the Younger people, and the boys and
girls as they come along, can be developed
into thorough and enthusiastic radicals, the
problem of making this country radical will
have been solved. The future for the radi-
cal movement will take care of itself and
the country will awake in the near future
to find that 1t has been transformed into a
counterpart Of Russia or some other for
eign country where radicalism reigns and
controls ..'..
Perhaps the most tragic aspects of radi-
cal developments in our country are con-
nected with the lives. and fortunes of the
young people who have just come, or are
preparing to come, on the stage OF action.
The propaganda machines and organiza-
tons of the radicals have been working at
top speed and efficiency to convince these
millions of young citizens that radicalism
offers them a heaven on earth which will
be established Immediately when radical
ism has gained control in the nation and
has seized all power.
The true facts are, of course, that no
greater fallacy was ever dangled as bait
before the young generations of this OF
any other country. 90,
The record of 100 years under our po-
htical, social and economic system proves
conclusively, when honestly examined and
appraised, that the United States has of
fcred its people throughout this period the
largest measure of human freedom, unity,
and the widest and largest measure of op-
portunity for human advancement in, all

The, radical movement has to offer only
Che destruction of this order and its dis
placement by political or governmental
slavery, the establishment of conditions
similar to those existing in any communis-
BIC or totalitarian state That these condi-
lions are rapidly developing under radical
control is evident to all who are watching,
considering and appraising the course of
this country at present and for the past
several years
Radicalism has been dinning in the ears
Of the people of the United States, espe-
daily the younger generations, its false
promises Of Utopian dreams. These should
be set over against the actual and practical
accomplishments Of the movement The
Facts are that as far as these promises con-
Germ this country they are absolutely mis-
leading and false. Instead of laying the
foundations for ideal future conditions the
radicals are constructing the groundwork
for totalitarian conditions which will un-
doubleday thrust coming generations into
social and economic slavery, and along
with this is absolutely certain to go poiiti-
cal slavery-in fact, that will unquestion-
ably precede the other conditions
Radicalism holds out to the younger gen.
erations fairy stories of Utopian conditions
to come through them program. So far the
sum total of accomplishments are condi-
lions of unemployment, economic uncer-
tainty and upheaval, destructive develop
ments I'M business and industry, which are
certain to destroy large part of the ma.
