U.S.. NO SANCTUARY FOR COMMUNISTS

long maintained in the United States under the preense
of being political party. when in reality it is a sub
versive and sedtous organization, is down at last
The Federal indictments returned against II leading
Communists will either be the effective instruments for this
purpose under existing law, compel the enactment by
Congress of legal instruments that effective for the
purpose.
Now it is to be finally determined if such organiza-
tion merely by calling itself political party claim
and find immunity under our laws.
The socaled Communist Party of the United States is
neither political American but is criminal enter
prise exclusively serving the interests and undeviangy
following the orders of foreign power which covets
sovereignty the United States and unquestonaby
intends to conduct ultimate and perhaps an imminent
against the United States for the achievement of its
ends
The function of the Communist Party in the United
States is to weaken demoraze the democratic gov
eminent and the industrial and institutions and
the social and political and religious life of the country
and thus prepare and make the to the intended
against
It's function when comes will be to sabotage and
paralyze our armed forces and industries and
thus make mpotent
It's function in the event of ultimate defeat and
conquest, will be to rule people and administer our
affairs as the official agency of Soviet Russaas the
defeated and subugated countries within the Russian
sphere have always been ruled and administered by the
Communist Parties previously established under their
laws
It is most amazing thing that the American Govern
ment, all LnlS TO De Jrue mas peeh SO long
ing to decision about the legal immunity of the Com
munist conspiracy and even now has come SO reluctantly
to that decision.
If Communists conspre against us in such an ut
terly disloya and criminal and be nvulnerabe
against our laws by assuming the guse of political
party what is to prevent other criminal enterprise
similar attainment of that vast privilege and the
absolute power attendant upon it?
Why do not thieves and murderers and arsoniss and
rapists and anarchists and atheists and all manner OF
brgands and cuthroats organize themselves into pot
cal parties the Communists do If that puts them SO
far above the protective laws of the country the Com
munists have so long been and still claim to be?
BY contrast with the crimes of COMMUNISTS all other
crimes trivial.
By comparison with the sheer malevoence and the
utter barbarty of Communist criminals all other crim
nails are benevolent.
Communism is poisonous infection in the boodsream
of America.
The Communist Party of the United States is the
source of that dread and evil Infection and all Commu
nsts its carriers.
If our present laws not adequate and sufficient to
protect and our country against this
plight is precarous indeed but it does i'll service to
our country for us continue to blind ourselves to the
fact.
If the Federal indictments returned against the IL
most conspicuous Communists of the country nsup
portable under present law let face the fact and rem
edv this defect in our laws which makes impotent
against our enemies in peace and in war.
It is not merely Communism which will be trial in
these concerning the legality and the political
immunity of the criminal conspiracy which Soviet Russia
Haunted in the faces of the American people, but the
integrity and of entire American system
of Justice and faith and morality will be the objects OF
final determination.
