now 1t raises millions of dollars here in the
United States through dues, foundations. en-
dowments, special drives and appeals.
Do only Communists carry out Communist

No. The party uses what it calls fellow
travellers" and front organizations" In some
OF its most effective work.
What h fellow traveller:
One who sympathizes with the party's aims
and serves the party's purposes in one or more
respects without actually holding party card
Is he important in the Communist move
mnt?
Vital. The fellow traveller is the hook with
which the party reaches out for funds and
respectability and the wedge that 1t drives
between people who try to move against 1t.
What Is Communist front:
An organization created or captured by the
Communists to do the partys work in special
fields. The front organization is communisms
greatest weapon in this country today and
takes 1t places 1t could never 60 otherwise
among people who would never willingly act
as party agents.
1t is usually found hiding among groups
devoted to idealistic activities.
How can = Cemmunist be identified:
It Is easy. Ask him to name 10 things wrong
with the United States. Then ask him to name
two things wrong with Russia.
His answers will show him up even to q
child.
Communists will denounce the President of
the United States.
They viii never denounce Stain.
How can fellow traveller be identified?
Apply the same test rs above and watch
him defend Communists and communism.
How do Communists get control Of organiza-
tions in which the majority are not Com
munists?
They work. Others won't.
They come early and stay late Others don't.

don't.
They demand the floor. Others WON'T
They do not hesitate to use physical violence
or any form of oersecutien. Theysstay Or
ganized and prepared u advancssyG each
meeting. The thing to remember IS that
Communists are trained agents under rigid
discipline, but they can always be defeated by
the facts.
Why isn't the Communist Party political
party just like the Democratic and Republican
Parties? &,it-
Because it takes its orders from Moscow.
where can . Communist be found in every
day American life?
Look for him in your school, your labor
unicn,, your church, or your civic club. Com
munists themselves say that they can be found
"on almost any conceivable battlefront for the
human mind"
How does communism expect to get power
over the United States II it cannot win elec-
tions?
The Communists only compete for votes to
cover their fifth column work behind 4 cloak
Of legality They expect to get power by any
means, just so they get 1t.
The examples of Poland, Czechoslovakia and
other countries in Europe show just how many
methods communism applies.
In each country different details-in all the
same result.
Why don't Communists over here 20 to Rus
sia II they like that system SO much:
They are on duty here to take over this
) country. They couldn't go to Russia even If
they wanted to, except on orders from Moscow.
which Communists get such orders?
High party ofiicials and special agents who
are to be trained in spying, sabotage, and de-
tailed planning for capture of this country.
What Ii the best way to combat communism!
Detection, exposure, and prosecution.
What Is communisms greatest strength?
It's secret appeal to the lust for power. Some
people have q natural urge to dominate others
in all things
Communism invites them to try.
The money, hard work. conspiracy, and vio-
lence that go into communism, add up to q
powerful force moving in a straight line toward
control of the world
What Is communisms greatest weakness?
The very things that give it strength. For
just as some people have natural lust to dom
mate everybody else, so do most people have
natural determination to be free.
Communism can dominate only by force.
Communism can be stopped by driving every
Communist out Of the place where he can cap
ture power
Are the Communists committing treason
