WHY AMERICA IS ENDANGERED


 Why is it that America is just national crisis away from state socialism? How is it that have come to this tragic place despite the fact that have given to people, through the American productive system the highest standard of living that any section Of the human race ever knew? would like to advance what think are three clear-cut reasons
 First we have been too busy Nobody has instructed each oncoming generation about the degree ot our achievements about the why of productive sys tenn Nobody has undertaken this task our educational people least of all No generation has ever failed mis- erably to teach it's traditions to it's children The result is that growing generation that does not un- derStand nor value our productive system. We are therefore not dedicated to it's preservation.
 On the other hand, there is sizeable army working to destroy our freedoms and liberties Besides the 1900 Communists said to be in this nation from the Iron Curtain countries it is believed that 800 American verts have been trained in the school for revolution the Kremlin and returned to America. There are from 8O,OOO to 100000 Communist party members in this country although they do not carry cards and will deny they are Communists if asked
 In addition to the Communists, there several hun dred organizations that have been officially classed as affiliated front groups for the Communists All of them working heartily to diScredt the profit SyS tenn, and to discredt private ownership of property When nobody much working to sell oncoming gener atons way of life and this great army working against way of fe it easy to understand why we drifting dangerously.
 In the third place. we have let ourselves be fooled by ShreWd politicians There great many of our pO ltical leaders who following the example of great master politician who deSred to be elected agan, ana again He knew how, tool With both to the ground these present politicians conclude that the gimme gm me- crowd has the most votes Accordingly they chose to travel the gimme trail to power.
 It that spirit which leads to demands for federal aid to public schools in every state in the Union The spirit urges sociazed medicine for all the people of the nation It continues to advocate rent controls when all need for such control has disappeared You there votes to be had by making some 12 million families think the government is giving them rent below the market value.
 My conviction is that unless the present generation is resold the fundamentals of way of life, state cilaism will be here within another generation With it will the deadening hand of bureaucracy that will retard production by at least 50 per cent This low cred productivity could in turn push down wages by 50 per cent and send high living standards to the bot tom of the chart
 For the sake of childrens children it is exceed ingy imperative that hold fast to the fundamentals of our American heritage. Doing so. go up ward, supplying the guiding light to freedom loving people who yet remain upon the earth The world i'll afford to have America lose her heritage Unless are willing to to it otherwise, the deadening hand of statesm in America usher in another Dark Age LOWS STERN POLICY
