of Communism Here

Support of an intensive crusade to
defeat Communism was urged last
Thursday night by United States Sen
ator Karl z. Mundt, South Dakota
Republican, in a Lincoln Day address
at Cumberland.
The dinner was attended by Walter
w. Dawson, Paul W. Fisher, Richard
L. Davis, Donald r. Sincell and
Walter E. Dawson, from Oakland.
Senator Mundt termed the growth
of Communist influence "the great
est peril which the world, Christianity
and America ever faced"
1--WE have started drinking the
poison of Communism out of the cup
of Socialism, the Senator warned.
"If the Communist plot succeeds, each
of US will lose his freedom"
He declared the Democratic regime
through the carelessness of long years
in office has permitted un-American
elements to creep, crawl and now to
walk into the government"
Emphasizing the growing menace
of Communism in the United States,
Senator Mundt quoted the FBI direc-
tor j. Edgar Hoover as stating re-
Gently that there are more Commu-
nists in this country now, both nu-
merically and percentage-wise, than
there were in Russia at the time of
the 1917 revolution
