I

COMMUNISM IS THE ANTITHESIS OF

CHRISTIANITY

1. Does communism have anything in common

with Christianity?

Nothing, absolutely nothing. Of all the miscon-

ceptions regarding communism, the most unfound-

ed, illusive and dangerous is the oft-repeated one,

that communism and Christianity have similar

purposes or objectives.

2. What are some of the principal differences be-

tween Christianity and communism?

Christianity is love; communism is hate.

Christianity is morality
;
communism is depravity.

Christianity is loyalty
;
communism is treachery.

Christianity extends mercy
;
communism is merci-

less.

Christianity liberates; communism enslaves.

Christianity builds Civilization; communism sub-

stitutes barbarism.

Christianity is truth
;
communism is falsehood.

Truth and falsehood have, of course, nothing in

common. Falsehood always disguises itself as

truth, but does not thus acquire any element of

truth.

Truth parades under no false colors, and has no

place for falsehood in her ranks. Falsehood parades

under the banner of “liberalism” and seeks to put

upon truth the brand of “intolerance.”

Truth always defends fundamental principles as

unchanging and unchangeable. Falsehood is ever

seeking to destroy all fundamental principles and

to attribute practically everything to optional

points of view.

1



As falsehood seeks to destroy truth, so commu-

nism seeks to destroy Christianity.

Let us not be deceived about Christianity and

communism having anything in common, or about

communism producing any good. Since commu-

nism is intrinsically evil, it can not produce any

good. “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit;

neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.”

—

St. Matthew, Chapter VII, Verse 18.

3. May any true friend of Christian Civiliza-
tion collaborate with communism in any un-

dertaking?

Absolutely not. Instead, heed should be given

(before it is too late) to the significant Gospel

warning:

Beware of false prophets, -who come to you in

the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are raven-

ing wolves. By their fruits you shall know them.

Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles?
—St. Matthew, Chapter VH, Verses 15-16.

This warning has been re-sounded by Pope Pius

XI, and directly applied to communism:

Communism is intrinsically wrong, and no one

who would save Christian Civilization may collab-

orate with it in any undertaking whatsoever.

II

COMMUNISM NOT A SCIENCE, PHILOSOPHY,

OR RELIGION, BUT A MONSTROUS

FORMULA FOR HUMAN
ENSLAVEMENT

1. What is “communism,” as that term is used

throughout the world today?

It is precisely what Pope Pius IX denounced

nearly a century ago as

—

that infamous doctrine of so-called communism
which is absolutely contrary to the natural law

itself, and, if once adopted, would utterly destroy

the rights, property and possessions of all men,

and even society itself.

—

Encyclical on “The Dan-

gers and Evils of the Times,” November 1846.

and against which Pope Pius XI has repeatedly

warned, directly exposing the following salient

features

:

(a) That communism “conceals within itself a

false messianic idea”;

(b) That communism has behind it “occult

forces which for a long time have been

working for the overthrow of the Christian

Social Order”;

(c) That “communism is intrinsically wrong”;

and

(d) That “the promises of the false prophets of

this earth melt away in blood and tears.”

Encyclical on “Atheistic Communism,” Paragraphs

8, 18, 58, and 80, March 1937.

2. What are the objectives embraced within such

“infamous doctrine of so-called communism”?

Abolition of religion, of individual ownership of

3



property, of family rights, of all individual rights,

of patriotism, and of nations as such. (Communist

Manifesto of 1848—also Report No. 2290, H. R.,
71st Congress, 3rd Session, U. S. A., quoting W. Z.

Foster, communist leader)

.

3. Would these abolitions convert humanity into

a “Cooperative Commonwealth,” as claimed

in communist propaganda?

Emphatically no. As well might a yoke of oxen,

a herd of cattle, or the slaves in a galley-ship, be

termed a “Cooperative Commonwealth” as any

section of humanity subjected to such monstrous

abolitions. Incredible though it may seem, at first,

to many gullible persons who have been literally

carried off their feet by the avalanche of commu-

nistic propaganda crashing down from almost

every direction, the conclusion is inescapable that

these abolitions constitute a monstrous formula.

They constitute the direct and perfect answer to

the question

—

What would have to be done to re-

duce humanity to the level of cattle? Cattle have,

of course, no religion; nor property, family or in-

dividual rights
;
nor patriotism

;
nor citizenship in

any nation,—essential human rights. Without
these rights, the status of human beings would dif-

fer in no wise from that of cattle. Cattle are not

troubled about any wage-system, since they receive

no wages, but only feed and a place out of the

weather. Through abolition of the wage-system,

which the communists say is one of their special

objectives, the peoples over whom they wish to
rule will be saved from dispute as to what is a rea-

sonable wage, because they will receive none what-

ever, any more than have slaves in any period of

history. The communist plan, to take from each

“according to his powers” and give to each “accord-

4



mg' to his needs,” does not differ from the plan

that has been universally applied to slaves. Such

plan necessarily produces the grossest inequalities

and injustices, along with such > slavery, yet the

plotters have the hardihood to carry on their de-

ception behind the high-sounding slogan “Produc-

tion for use, and not for profit.” They even have

the temerity to use the slogan “Social Justice” to

hide the awful truth.

4. What possible incentive can there be for such

an infamous and monstrous formula?

World domination over humanity generally by

organized occult forces, resembling, in evil struc-

ture, a giant octopus with tentacles extending into,

and seeking to strangle, all Governments through-

out the world, so as to substitute a World Super-

Government of their own. Although pretending

an intense devotion to the universal brotherhood of

man, these occult forces appear to treat themselves

as a special and superior people or class, and to

look upon all others as upon the fold of cattle. Such

a pretendedly superior and presumptuous people

or class must, in the very nature of things, be

much-scattered, in location, so as to invade all na-

tions, yet intensely solidified or banded together

by systematic deception or coercion, or both, under

fiendish leaders, claiming to be acting for the com-

mon good of such people or class. Such leaders

will ultimately and inevitably wreck their own plot

by unending strife between them as to who shall

occupy the seat of dictatorship. Such a condition

has already developed in Soviet Russia. However,

complete dissolution of society may result in the

interim, before the plot finally destroys itself, if

no effective steps be taken to prevent its further

spread.

5



5. Is communism a science, or a philosophy, or

a religion?

No. It bears no more resemblance to a science,

a philosophy, or a religion, than would any other

criminal conspiracy. As well might the by-laws

of a gang of robbers and murderers be treated as

embodying a science, a philosophy, and a religion.

This obvious fact cannot be overcome by the per-

sistent attempts of so-called “intellectuals” to hide

the real status of communism behind the specially-

created and high-sounding academic term “dialec-

tic-materialism,” in an effort to dignify commun-

ism as scholarly and genuine.

6. Are any of the abolitions of communism bene-

ficial or elevating or otherwise than false, de-

ceptive, and enslaving?

Most emphatically no. Each has apparently been

selected with great care because of its false, de-

ceptive, and enslaving effect. While they are pro-

claimed as a unit, and the entire combination is

relied upon by such occult forces to reduce other

peoples to the level of cattle, it is perfectly appar-

ent that each objective is, in and of itself, a potent

agency for the accomplishment of the end sought.

7. Would not the disastrous results of these

abolitions be only transitional, and produce a

real and lasting “Earthly Paradise” after

their extension throughout the world?

Such obviously disingenuous claim seeks to de-

feat the warning in the Gospel, “By their fruits

you shall know them,” realizing that, after the

yoke has been actually placed upon humanity

throughout the world, the victims would have no

opportunity to heed the Gospel warning. The

greater the area of extension of these abolitions.

6



the more extensive, of course, will be the misery,

distress and serfdom caused thereby. The claim

that as soon as these occult forces attain complete

world conquest, they will immediately surren-

der their direction and rule and permit all objec-

tionable features and results of their control or or-

ganization to “wither away,” is preposterous upon

its face.

8. Is abolition of religion an aid to such a mon-

strous plot?

Most certainly. The plot could not possibly be

effectuated without abolition of religion. Until

religion is completely abolished, morality, which is

founded upon it, would continue its elevating in-

fluence upon humanity, and with sufficient force

to make impossible the reduction of humanity gen-

erally to the condition of beasts. While a spark of

religion remains, martyrdom will be gladly suf-

fered by human beings to defeat such a fiendish

plot, as is well known to the occult forces behind

communism.

9. How do the occult forces behind communism
disguise the real motive for abolishing re-

ligion?

By pretending that it has been scientifically es-

tablished that religion is merely superstitution, re-

tarding civilization, and suppressing freedom.

Karl Marx (the so-called father of communism)

had the effrontery to term religion “the opium of

the people.”

10. How do these occult forces expect to deceive
anybody in that way?

They know, of course, that there can be no true

or enduring freedom, nor any real civilization,

without religion. But, being clever and unscrupu-

7



lous psychologists, they also know how disas-

trously such an appeal, for the abolition of moral-

ity, can be used to impair the minds, morals, and

physical health of persons, and that an enormous

field of victims may be expected among the un-
enlightened, particularly confiding youth deceived

in the classroom.

11. Is abolition of family rights an aid to such

plot?

Yes, for without the disintegration of the fam-

ily, which was instituted by Almighty God, it

would be impossible to reduce any people to the

level of cattle. Nor would it be possible to com-

pletely destroy religion, without first destroying

the family because the human family, and much

more the Christian family, as founded by God and

depending on Him, is a bulwark of religion, and

vice versa.

12. Is abolition of individual ownership of prop-

erty an aid to the communist plot?

Obviously. Without such abolition, human dig-

nity could not be altogether destroyed and the plot

could not possibly succeed. Opportunity for indi-

vidual ownership of property is the cornerstone of

freedom, and indispensable to Christian civiliza-

tion; in fact, to the preservation of any human

rights or personal dignity or a status above the

beasts. This does not mean that individuals must

own all property, nor that the State can own none

for its legitimate public purposes, nor that inordi-

nate monopolies in individual or group ownership

must be tolerated. But a collectivistic ownership

of property generally, enforced against any section

of miscellaneous humanity, would be inherently de-

structive of freedom, happiness and prosperity, for

8



two reasons, (1) it cannot operate itself, but re-

quires dictators to run it, and (2) it destroys in-

dividual incentive, initiative, and thrift. It is man-

ifestly idle to talk about preserving suffrage or any

kind of a democracy under a dictatorship which

regiments the people, and tells them what to do,

and makes them do it. Reason and experience both

teach that dictators cannot be controlled from be-

low, so that, with dictators in the saddle, ballots

will always confirm what the dictators propose.

13. Is the CoUectivistic idea an untried one?

By no means. It received thorough trials more

than 300 years ago. From 1611 to 1614, it was

tried out in the Virginia Colony, and between 1620

and 1623 in the Plymouth Colony of Massachu-

setts. In neither was there any attempt to destroy

religion, the family, or patriotism, but the experi-

ment was conducted wholly on an economic basis.

The fruits of each man’s labor went to the com-

mon stock, and the settlers were fed and clothed

from a common storehouse. In each instance, the

experiment was carried on until the settlers were

nearing starvation on account of it. It discouraged

individual incentive, initiative and thrift, and sub-

stituted for natural productive competition, a com-

petition of laziness which made the people face

starvation. In the Virginia experiment, Sir

Thomas Dale applied force to carry it through,

and the colony became half military camp and half

penal colony. In the Massachusetts experiment, it

was tried out under a democracy. In each instance

the result was the same. The settlers always re-

ferred to the period as the “years of slavery.” The

Virginia experiment received special mention in

“History of Maryland,” by J. Thomas Scharf (pub-

lished in 1879) , who said

:

9



It is difficult to conceive a state of things more

propitious to the theories of communism or so-
cialism, and yet the failure was most signal.—p. 4.

Other local or colonial experiments at different

times in various parts of the world have always

resulted in similar failure. Humanity can never be

aided by what is inherently contrary to the natural

law. No section of miscellaneous humanity (as

distinguished from a special voluntary religious

group, cf. Religious Orders) can possibly function

under a collectivism without displacing liberty,

and substituting serfdom. The kind of so-called

economic security produced by such serfdom, as a

substitute for liberty, is repulsive to every right-

thinking, liberty-loving person.

14. May not the occult forces behind communism

be ignorant of such inherently enslaving

features?

Hardly, when it is realized that their entire pro-

gram, and also each constituent element, is enslav-

ing. As well might a masked and armed gang

carrying burglar kits, and actually resorting to

violence to break into a bank, claim that they were

a repair gang going to fix something wrong at the

bank.

15. How do these occult forces deceive anyone
about a matter so plain and obvious?

By misleading their dupes with the deceptive

phrase “dictatorship of the proletariat,” to convey

to them the false impression that it means “dicta-

torship by the proletariat.” The phrase really

means “dictatorship over the proletariat,” and has

been so treated in Russia since the yoke of these

occult forces was first imposed upon the Russian

people.

10



16. How are these occult forces able to carry on
such deception either in Russia or elsewhere,

after the “dictatorship of the proletariat” in

Soviet Russia has been demonstrated to be

a “dictatorship over the proletariat” by a

group or class of self-constituted and self-

perpetuating dictators?

By pretending that the existing dictatorship,

which has been in effect in Soviet Russia for

nearly twenty years, is really nothing but a transi-

tional stage, and that, upon the extension of com-

munism throughout the world, the dictatorship

will “wither away” and the proletariat become the

real dictators. The dupes have recently been told

that communism is “20th Century Americanism,”

and finally the blasphemous assertion is being

made that Christ was a communist.

17. Does the Communist Manifesto of 1848

make mention of local or colonial experi-

ments in the community ownership feature

of communism, contradistinguished from

world-wide and complete communism?

Yes. It refers to them as “Home Colonies,” or

setting up a “Little Icaria,” and calls them

“pocket editions of the New Jerusalem.”

18. Is this language in the Communist Manifesto

intended to suggest that complete and world-

wide communism, is the complete and un-

abridged edition of “the New Jerusalem”?

If that be not its meaning, it is difficult to under-

stand why such carefully chosen words were so

used.

11



19. What excuse is made by such occult forces
for wanting to abolish all individual owner-

ship of property, all other individual rights,

and the family entity?

They have the temerity to assert that such abo-

litions will obtain for human beings that equality

of status and opportunity that is essential to any

universal brotherhood of man. The fact that the

equality will consist in having no rights whatever,

thus reducing humanity to the level of cattle, is, of

course, not mentioned by them.

20. What occasion is there for preserving pa-

triotism and the individuality of Nations in

the world today?

No Nation can endure without patriotism, which

means devotion to one’s country, and no people can

feel any sense of security against lawlessness, ter-

rorism, and massacre, or enslavement, unless they

maintain a National Government, with power to

suppress lawlessness and insurrection, and repel

invasion. Law and order cannot be expected to be

self-enforcing so long as human nature endures

and human society exists.

12



Ill

COMMUNISM NOT MODERN, NOR EVOLU-

TIONARY, BUT ANCIENT AND

CRAFTILY DEVISED

1. What truth is there in the claim that com-

munism or bolshevism is a natural phase in

the evolution of a strictly historical process

originating in the soil, culture, and politics of

far-away Russia?

Absolutely none. Russia did not give birth to

communism, but became communism’s first vic-

tim through carefully-planned invasion by occult

forces having no interest in Russia or the Russian

people, but seeking world conquest.

2. What good can result from the circulation of

such a falsehood about communism being a

product of far-away Russia?

None that can be discerned. Such falsehood is

to be deplored, because it gives this imminent

world menace a far-away Russian aspect, and

thereby lulls people to sleep regarding the immi-

nent menace right among them in every Nation

of the world today, ready to seize the reins of

Government by deceptive tactics, and make use of

organized terrorism and wholesale “liquidations”

for human enslavement.

3. Have the dictators of Soviet Russia ever ad-

mitted their program not to be of Russian

origin?

Yes. As soon as they had succeeded in impos-

ing their yoke upon the Russian people, they ad-

mitted that their so-called new social order was

not of Russian origin, but was taken from the

13



Communist Manifesto of 1848. This Manifesto

was itself only a re-proclamation of an age-old

scheme or plot against humanity.

4. Was any different claim or pretense made
while preparing to place the yoke upon the

the Russian people?

Yes. Previous thereto, they disguised them-

selves as the Bolshevik (meaning majority rule)

Party, and Lenin (speaking under such disguise)

had given the following false assurance

:

It must once more be emphasized that syndicali-

zation does not in the least affect conditions of

ownership and does not deprive the proprietor of a

single penny of his money. It is necessary to lay

great stress upon this fact in consequence of the

conduct of the middle-class press, which fright-

ens the smaller traders with the threat that social-

ists, and in particular bolsheviks, desire to “expro-

priate” them.—A History of Bolshevism (London,
1934), by Arthur Rosenberg, p. 103.

5. After the dictators of Soviet Russia finally

admitted their deception, and that their pre-

tended new social order or form of govern-

ment was, in reality, communism, did any of

their leaders ever admit the antiquity of the

world organization behind communism?

Yes in 1923, the Soviet Commissar for Foreign

Affairs, Chicherin, made such indirect admission

by boastfully proclaiming

—

We are the oldest government in Europe.

Since the Communist Government had then ex-

isted as a recognized Nation of the world only 6

years, it is obvious that it could not possibly be

the oldest Government in Europe in any public

legitimate sense in consequence of its 6 years in

Russia. Consequently, Chicherin must have been

referring to its great antiquity as a secret World

14



Super-Government plotting the obliteration of all

National lines, and consequently Nations, which

are to be fused into the world-wide Soviet.

6. Is there any doubt or question about the com-

munist seizure of Russia in November 1917

having been the work of international plot-

ters?

Absolutely none. Many of the leaders came

from a variety of Nations, including the United

States, a great many coming from the East Side

of New York, under the leadership of one Bron-
stein (called Comrade Trotzky). Many leaders

sought to conceal their real identities by taking

Russian names. Thus, not only was Bronstein

changed to Trotzky, but Finkelstein was changed

to Litvinov, Rosenfeld to Kamenev, Apfelbaum to

Zinoviev, etc. The secret invasion of Russia took

place through, and with the aid of, Germany,

which appears to have been at the time very much

under the domination of this secret World Super-

Government.

7. Did those who seized the reins of Government

in Russia in November 1917 constitute a ma-

jority of the Russian People?

By no means. They amounted to only a very

small percentage,—about 60,000 out of Russia’s
population of 160,000,000.

8. How did such an insignificant fraction of the
population succeed in imposing their yoke

upon 160,000,000 people?

First through deceptive tactics to seize the reins

of Government; followed by organized terrorism

and wholesale “liquidations.” In a word, the peo-

ple were “trapped” like animals, those refusing

enslavement being killed.

15



9. How far back does the secret World Super-
Government, which is supporting commun-

ism, extend?

Probably during the entire Christian Era. The

materialistic concept, in denial of the spiritual and

supernatural, dominates the entire plot, which

seeks world-conquest for the members of the

Super-Government, as a kind of mutual-benefit or-

ganization. Neither the universal brotherhood of

man, nor any other Christian ideal or concept, can

have any appeal to them other than as a temporary

disguise.

10. Why is Karl Marx featured in communist
propaganda as the Father of Communism,

and lauded as the author of the Communist

Manifesto, and for his supposed “sympathy

for the poor” and pretended “originality in

thinking out a plan” as set forth in the said

manifesto?

Evidently to divert attention from Marx’s real

status as an emissary or adept of an outlawed

gang, and to conceal the fact that the Commu-

nist Manifesto of 1848 had merely used another

name for the same age-old plot or program,—that
had been outlawed throughout the world shortly

after 1800,—that had masqueraded as “Illumin-
ism,” “Rationalism,” “Jacobinism,” etc., before the

French Revolution of Terror of 1789,—and that
had doubtless contributed largely to the Reign of

Terror in that period.

11. Had this age-old plot or program invaded

the United States before 1800?

Yes; on an extensive scale. Affiliated Jacobin

Societies were formed in America, proclaiming so-

called “Rights of Man,” as opposed to any recogni-

16



tion of God. (McMaster, History of the United

States, Vol. II, p. 93) . Timothy Dwight, President

of Yale, delivered an address in New Haven in July

1798, setting forth the nature and character of

such invading program

:

No personal or national interest of man has been
uninvaded; no impious sentiment of action against

God has been spared; no malignant hostility

against Christ and his religion has been unat-

tempted. Justice, truth, kindness, piety, and

moral obligation universally have been not merely

trodden under foot, but ridiculed, spurned and

insulted as the childish bugbears of driveling

idiocy.

12. Have the occult forces behind communism

ever admitted maintaining, before the Com-

munist Manifesto, a secret society to pro-

mote the same objectives?

Yes. The Preface to the Communist Manifesto

expressly so admits. It expressly states that said

Manifesto was drawn up as “the platform of the

Communist League,” and that “before 1848” it was

“unavoidably a secret society.”

13. Is the hostility of these occult forces to

Christianity of recent origin?

By no means. In fact, it would be most surpris-

ing if most of the insidious schemes to wreck Chris-

tianity during the course of the centuries have

not been both hatched and aided by these occult

forces. The motive plainly existed, and there are

some strange corroborating circumstances.

14. What are some of these strange circum-

stances?

The so-called “Reformation” which began in

1517 had its origin in Germany, and was next car-

ried to France between 1520 and 1530, just as com-

17



munism was first proclaimed in Germany in 1848

and next carried to France and used to promote an

active revolution there. Uluminism (sometimes

called the grand-father of communism) was also

first proclaimed in Germany (1776) , and then car-

ried to France. Apparently, the Chiefs of Staff

of these occult forces have been located in Ger-

many for many centuries, and the most powerful

wing of their subterranean army has doubtless

been located in France throughout many centuries.

The great multiplicity of so-called Christian creeds

which have been proclaimed has hardly been the

result of something normal. Multitudes have been

led thereby to think that Christianity itself must

be ridiculous, thereby advancing the cause of these

anti-Christian occult forces.

15. Is there any evidence of insidious and con-

certed assaults upon Christianity previous to

1500?

Yes. In Funk & Wagnall’s New Standard En-
cyclopedia, 1931, Yol. XXI, the following appears

:

The most remarkable of these protests (moves

against Christianity) was associated with the

name of Joachim of Flora in Calabria (died 1202).
Under the name of the “Eternal Gospel,” the in-

fluence of his ideas is traceable in every country

in Christendom.—p. 75.
In the 13th century, the Arabic texts of Aris-

totle made their way into the Christian schools,

and thenceforth a leaven of skepticism was an

element in all the universities. As a result of the

teaching of Averrhoes, materialism and pantheism

became common creeds among thinkers, and the

idea spread that Christianity was not the absolute

thing the Church had taught.—p. 76.

IV

FINANCE IS THE HEAD OF THE DESTROY-

ING SERPENT, AND COMMUNISM
THE SLIME THAT PROCEEDS

FROM THE HEAD

1. Is there anything peculiar about the cause of

the prevailing ills of society?

Quite obviously. Humanity is not suffering

from a God-made famine, but a man-made one, or

rather a fiend-made one. The famine exists in the

midst of plenty, with the plenty “gobbled up” by

a money-mad group, and evidently as the result

of long-time planning and manipulation. Such a

money-mad group cannot be acting under the in-

fluence of Christian ideas. In fact, Christian ideas

must be wholly foreign to them, because the teach-

ing of Christianity is always against greed, and

for social justice and the universal brotherhood of

man.

2. Is there any possible question about the oc-

cult forces behind communism actively seek-

ing to take advantage of the present plight

of humanity, to seize the powers of govern-

ment everywhere?

Absolutely none.

3. Is there anything indicating that these occult

forces were peculiarly equipped to cause this

very plight of which they seek to take ad-

vantage?

Yes, because, (1) the plight is world-wide;

(2) it must, therefore, have come from a world-

wide cause; (3) the occult forces behind com-

munism constitute such a world-wide source; and

19



(4) there is no other known world-wide source

that could have had an incentive to produce such

plight.

4. How can this conclusion 4>e reached in the
face of the communist claim that Christianity

has been the cause of humanity’s plight?

The inherent perfidiousness of such claim con-

stitutes additional evidence against them. When
a party seeks to exonerate himself by pinning a

crime upon a perfectly innocent party, it points

rather strongly toward the former’s guilt. Instead

of Christianity having held sway during the period

in question, the Communist Manifesto itself as-

serts that “Christian ideas succumbed in the 18th

century”—the century preceding the so-called In-
dustrial Era whose mal-adjustments are now false-

ly attributed by the communists to Christianity.

5. Did any leader or promoter of communism

predict in advance the occurrence of the 1929

crash or panic in America?

Yes. On May 6, 1929, Stalin addressed an Amer-

ican Commission of the Third International sitting

in Moscow as follows

:

I think, Comrades, that the American Commu-

nist Party is one of those few communist parties

in the world upon which history has conferred a

task of a decisive character from the viewpoint

of the world revolutionary movement. The force

and power of American Capitalism are well known

to you. To many it seems now that the general

crisis of world Capitalism will not touch America.

This, of course, is not true. Absolutely untrue,

Comrades.

Stalin added

:

And when the revolutionary crisis will open out

in America, this will be the beginning of the end

of world Capitalism. It is necessary that the

20



%

American Communist Party should be able to

meet this historical moment fully armed.

6. Was this startling prophecy and incitement to
violence made public at the time?

No. Although the prophecy was made more

than five months before the October 1929 crisis in

America, its publication in the “Moscow Bolshevik”

did not occur until January 15, 1930. How did
Stalin know about it in advance with such positive-

ness ? It should be apparent to every real student

of the subject that the timing of the crisis was in

the control of a group of powerful international

financiers.

7. Is the communist campaign conducted by a

poverty-stricken group?

By no means. Its emissaries have sought to

give such false impression
;
but the size and rami-

fications of their organizations, and the colossal

amount and systematized character of their propa-

ganda in every Nation, leave no room for belief in

any such nonsense. Finance is the head of the de-

stroying serpent, and communism the slime that

proceeds from the head, as every real student of

the subject can readily ascertain.

8. What evidence is there that these occult

forces have become further enriched during

the so-called depression?

The increasingly enormous amount of their

propaganda, and other costly activities in their

own special interest, involving tremendous outlays

in every Nation of the world, constitute a power-

ful showing along this line to any thinking person.

Meanwhile, these pretended champions of the poor

prate about their pity for the “under-privileged”

and “down-trodden.”

21



9. Has any outstanding and reliable authority

discussed the great financial resources of

these occult forces?
(r

Yes, in Encyclical of March 1937 on “Atheistic

Communism,” Pope Pius XI revealed that:

It (communism) has at its disposal great finan-

cial resources, gigantic organizations, internation-

al congresses, and countless trained workers—Par-
agraph 17.

10. How can this unusual condition be explained,
namely, that these occult forces have at

their disposal great financial resources, and

yet claim to be fellow-sufferers among the

poor?

They are obviously not opposed to private own-

ership of Capital, but opposed only to others having

any. They appear to have a double objective: (1) to

despoil all other peoples of all that they now have,

and (2) to subject such other peoples to their domi-

nation so as to be able to despoil them of every-

thing they produce in the future. The more Cap- _

ital they take from such other peoples, before the

World Conquest is attained, the quicker will it be

attained, because the poorer and more defense-

less such other peoples will become, and conse-

quently, the more easily imposed upon and over-

powered by these occult forces, parading under the

false banners of “freedom,” “humanitarianism,”

“universal brotherhood,” etc. Obviously, the co-

operation among the occult forces by possessors of

great riches with those pretending to be opposed

to all individual ownership of property, cannot

mean that wolves and lambs are cooperating, but

rather two sets of wolves, each disguised in dif-

ferent sheep’s clothing. A so-called communist-

22



state provides a convenient medium to transmit the

property of other persons to the occult forces.

11. Has the insidious usurpation of governmen-

tal power in many Nations through finance,

been dealt with in any recent work?

Yes, in “All These Things,” by A. N. Field, who

presents many pertinent facts and circumstances

to prove that the occult forces behind commun-

ism are responsible for these conditions.

12. Has any other author mentioned the exten-

sive domination of governmental power by

centres of financial power?

Yes. In “A History of Bolshevism” (1934),
Arthur Rosenberg described modern conditions

throughout the world as follows:

A modern Great Power is nothing but a collec-
tion of great financial institutions within national

frontiers. Modern international politics are no

more than the struggle between these centres of

financial power for domination over all countries

and all races.—p. 42.

The author proceeded to explain that Lenin used

this condition as an argument for abolishing all

private ownership of property
;
but failed to men-

tion that Lenin was representing the same occult

forces, which had produced such conditions, and

were seeking to obtain all property and power for

themselves on a world-wide scale.

y

DEGRADATION OF WOMANHOOD UNDER
COMMUNISM

1. What is the real truth about the pretended

elevation and freedom of women under the

Soviet regime?

Such pretense is the most outrageous and hypo-

critical of all the pretenses that have been circu-

lated and propagandized. Instead of being ele-

vated and freed, womanhood is degraded and en-

slaved. She has been made a victim of factory

slavery, sex slavery, and military slavery. She is

treated as the absolute property of the Soviet

State. Her children are likewise treated as belong-

ing to the State, and taken away from her for rear-

ing by the State, just as the fold of cattle are taken

away from cows. Marriage is not encouraged, but

is strongly discouraged. The communists evident-

ly see no more occasion for marriage of their

female victims than they do for the marriage state

for cows. They apparently recognize no more right

in their female victims to any individual or family

rights, than they recognize in the cows in a herd.

The cows in a herd, however, have important ad-

vantages. Cows are at least spared factory slavery

and military slavery.

2. Has any official report dealt with the matter

of sex slavery of women in Soviet Russia?

Yes. British White Paper, known as “Russia No.

1, April 1919,” p. 26, contains the following report

by General Poole to the War Office under date of

January 11, 1919

:

There is evidence to show that commissariats

of free love have been established in several towns

24



and respectable women flogged for refusing to
yield. Decree for nationalization of women has
been put into force, and several experiments made
to nationalize children.

One of the decrees for the nationalization of women

was issued by the Council of the City of Saratov,

effective March 1, 1918, and declared all women to

be “the property of the whole nation,” and pro-

vided for issuance of certificates to men for their

use as “a piece of public property.”

3. Have not these early attempts to nationalize

women, or, in other words, create an openly

legalized community of women, been aban-

doned?

It is more accurate to say that they have been

merely suspended, until the Soviet regime becomes

sufficiently powerful to defy all civilized peoples

by re-establishing such monstrously barbarous con-

dition. The storm of indignation throughout the

world, when these early attempts became known,

evidently made the Soviet regime fearful about

further continuing such attempts at that time.

4. What evidence is there that the communist

program includes an openly legalized commu-

nity of women?

Not only is such sex slavery to be expected under

the communist scheme to reduce other peoples to

the level of cattle, but the Communist Manifesto

of 1848 itself uses carefully chosen language in

an attempt to justify such sex slavery, saying:

Our bourgeois, not content with having the wives

and daughters of their proletarians at their dis-

posal, not to speak of common prostitutes, take
the greatest pleasure in seducing each other’s

wives.

Bourgeois marriage is in reality a system of

25



wives in common and thus, at most, what the com-
munists might possibly be reproached with is that

they desire to introduce, in substitution for a

hypocritically concealed, an openly legalized com-

munity of women.

A little further along, said Manifesto states, with
unconcealed satisfaction, that “Christian ideas suc-

cumbed in the 18th century to rationalist ideas,"

thereby necessarily admitting that none of the im-

morality referred to had been produced by Chris-

tianity. The infamous proposition of the so-called

“rationalists” was “that religion is the enemy of

philosophy,” the unsoundness and inexcusable

falsity of which pretense was completely exposed

by Pope Pius IX two years before the Manifesto,

in Encyclical “The Dangers and Evils of the

Times,” of 1846. Instead of favoring a return to

Christianity to eliminate, or at least reduce, sexual

immorality, the Manifesto sought to add sex slav-

ery to immorality. Surely, Christian marriage can-

not be said to be “a system of wives in common,”

and those who pay honor to Karl Marx for the hor-

ribly depraved and degrading ideas set forth in

the Manifesto can obviously have no proper place

in civilized society.

5. What is the status of women in Soviet Rus-

sia at the present time?

They are subjected to factory slavery and mili-

tary slavery, and their children are taken from

them as property of the State, just as the children

of slaves have always been dealt with as being

property of the ownei's of such slaves. This is

their plight even before the return of the sex slav-

ery inherent in “an openly legalized community of

women.” What a contrast to the sanctity and dig-

nity of womanhood in a Christian Civilization

!

26



VI

COMMUNIST HYPOCRISY REGARDING UNI-

VERSAL BROTHERHOOD OF MAN

1. What is the significance of the red flag used

as the communist emblem throughout the

world?

As proclaiming the universality of the blood of

all peoples, and that the communists will never

tolerate any discrimination by reason of race, blood

of other conditions or differences among peoples.

2. Have the communists lived up to their proc-

lamation and repeated assurance in this be-

half?

Most emphatically not. One particular people or

race has been signally favored. It has not been

the Russian people, but rather the Jewish people

or race as such. Beginning in 1921, the Soviet

Governments “began to settle Jewish families in

agricultural colonies in White Russia, the Crimea,

and the Ukraine”
;
“By 1928 more than 35,000 Jew-

ish families were tilling the soil in 160 of these col-

onies”
;
and, in that year, “the Soviet Governments

announced they would contribute $10,000,000 to-

ward the extension of this work if Americans

would match the sum,” which was done. Funk

& Wagnalls’ New Standard Encyclopedia, 1931,
Vol. XVI, p. 452-3.

2. Has any Jewish organ boasted about the spe-

cial consideration given the Jewish race in So-

viet Russia?

Yes. The December 1933 issue of the American

Jewish Journal “Opinion,” styled “A Journal of

Jewish Life and Letters,” and having Rabbi

27



Stephen S. Wise on its Editorial Board, carried an

article asserting

:

The State (Russia) which previously did not

employ any Jews at all now employs in White Rus-
sia 61% Jewish officials—p. 13.

(The percentage of the Jewish population in

Russia is less than 2%.)—p. 13.

A Jew is the commander-in-chief of the Ukrain-
ian Army—p. 14.
A Jew is president of the State Bank—p. 14.
Jews occupy almost all important ambassadorial

positions of the Soviet Union.—p. 14.

Anti-Semitism has been declared a State offense

and is punished as counter-revolution.—p. 14.

3. Is this extraordinary condition, so boasted

about, accidental?

It can hardly be so considered by those who are

aware of the fact that the very heart and center of

International Communism, the Communist Party

Central Committee, is composed entirely of Jews,

with a few exceptions only (including Stalin) and

all of them married to Jewesses.

4. Has any Jewish organ boasted that the Jews

are not subjected to religious persecution in

Soviet Russia?

Yes. The January 1934 issue of the same Jew-

ish Journal “Opinion,” already mentioned, carried

an article stating

:

Lonely, like a ruin in a desert, the Jewish syna-

gogue stands hidden in a corner of revolutionary

Moscow. It is a new synagogue. Its worshippers,

however—a tiny fraction of the city’s hundred

thousand Jewish inhabitants—belong definitely to

Russia’s past.—p. 15.

And there is no doubt that the old, traditional
Jewish synagogue is rapidly dying out in Russia,

It is dying not because of communist persecution,

as many would like to believe, or any other out-
side influence, but simply because of a natural

28



law of life; the synagogue lacks fresh blood. The

youth has deserted it.

Go over to the Jewish Communist Club on Tver-

skaya Street and you will find plenty of them

over there.—p. 16 .

5. Is the favoring of the Jews by the commun-

ists a matter of race or religion?

Wholly racial. Since the communists seek to

destroy all religious belief, it is self-evident that

no Jew having any religious belief (contradistin-

guished from pretense) can possibly join the com-

munists or accept favors from them.

6. If the occult forces behind communism were

sincere advocates of the universal brother-

hood of man, would they seek to crush Chris-

tianity, which has always espoused the uni-

versal brotherhood of man without distinc-

tions of race or blood?

Manifestly not. They are hypocrites. Their

adoption of the clenched fist of hate as the com-

munist salute is not consonant with any honest

conception of the universal brotherhood of man.

Consequently, it is not surprising that they give

vent to their hatred for Christianity which does

really and truly recognize such universal brother-

hood. The Soviet Commissar for Public Educa-

tion, Lunatscharsky, made public proclamation of

such hatred:

We hate Christianity and Christians; even the
best of them must be looked upon as our worst

enemies. They preach the love of our neighbors

and mercy, which is contrary to our principles.

Down with the love of our neighbor; what we want
is hatred. We must learn how to hate, and it is
only then that we shall conquer the world.

Facts About Communism, by Rev. Edward Lodge

Curran, Ph. D., at p. 54. Also Anti-God Front of

Communism, by Rev. G. J. MacGillivray.

29



7. Do the communists usually conceal or pro*
claim their aim to crush Christianity?

When trying to entrap prospective victims who
refuse to reject Christ, they conceal their aims, and

at times even go so far as to falsely assert that

Christ was a communist. At other times, they

boldly proclaim their aim and purpose to crush

Christianity. Magazines published in Moscow

have freely proclaimed the real aim and purpose.

8. Can any such magazine be mentioned and

identified?

Surely. The November 15, 1929, issue of “Bez-

bogchik oo Stankar” (The Atheist at his Bench),

an organ of the Union of Atheists and of the Mos-

cow Committee of the All-Union Communist Party,

carried on its front cover, in vivid colors, a picture

depicting the use of a wheel-barrow to dump out

Christ in celebration of “Industrialization Day.”

This is mild in comparison with other blasphemous

anti-Christian matter too horrible and fiendish for

description or reproduction.

9. The facts being thus plain and evident, what

conclusion is forced upon any person of com-

mon sense?

That communism is both anti-Christ and pro-

Jew, in fact, so pronouncedly pro-Jew as to treat

“anti-semitism” as “counter-revolution,” thus

strongly suggesting that communism is a scheme

to build “the New Jerusalem” upon the backs of

subjugated peoples.

10. Is this situation relieved by a study of the

Talmud, sometimes called the governing code

of Israel?

Unfortunately, no. The situation becomes even

30



more alarming, according to The Mystical Body of

Christ in the Modem World, by Rev. Denis Fahey,

pp. 75-6, which cites L’Histoire et les Histoires

dans la Bible, by Mgr. Landrieux, Bishop of Dijon,

as giving the following resume of an amazing con-

cept stated to be propagated in the Talmud:

For the Talmudist, the Jewish race alone con-

stitutes humanity. The non-Jews are not men.

They are of a purely animal nature.

Such false and presumptuous proposition, that the

Jews are the only people or human beings on the

face of the Earth, seemingly embodies the false

messianic idea behind communism. Such a false

and fiendish idea is, of course, entirely consonant

with the formula of communism to reduce other

peoples to the level of cattle. Civilized society can

no more tolerate the promotion of such a brazen

idea than it can permit the practice of polygamy

or any other socially undermining concept.

11. Is the outrageously anti-social nature of the

Talmud dealt with in any other authentic

work than the two already mentioned?

Yes. It is precisely and fully dealt with in “Se-

cret Societies and Subversive Movements,” by

Nesta H. Webster, who was careful to add to her

exposition, that

—

many Jews have protested against it (the Talmud)
as a barrier between themselves and the rest of

the human race—p. 370.

12. Has any prominent Jewish writer admitted

the extensive use of the Talmud to bind the

Jewish people together?

Yes. In “History and Destiny of the Jews,” by

Josef Kastein, it is declared (p. 211) that

—

31



the laws of the Talmud proved exceedingly

efficacious in binding the Jewish people together.

and further that

—

the Talmud, which they carried with them every-

where, became their home.

13. In the early period of the bolshevik dictator-

ship, did any Jewish organ discuss and de-

fend the taking by Jews of a leading part in

such dictatorship?

Yes. The Jewish Chronicle (London), of April

4, 1919, carried an article stating:

That Jews have been chosen to the extent they

have to take a leading part in the movement in

Russia and in Hungary, is more or less because

they are heavily endowed with intellectualism

and capacity, as compared with the rest of the

population.

There is much in the fact of bolshevism itself, in
the fact that so many Jews are bolsheviks, in the
fact that the ideals of bolshevism at many points
are consonant with the finest ideals of Judaism.

14. Does this article in the Jewish Chronicle give

any explanation of how bolshevism is

claimed to be consonant with the “ideals of

Judaism”?

No, only evasively, in the following strange and

very remarkable way

:

The Jew is an idealist. He will give much for

an ideal. He thirsts for idealism as a goal of life.
This may seem strange to those who associate the

Jew with materialism. But the capacity of the

Jew for idealism is such that he notoriously ideal-

izes even the material.

It is perfectly obvious that, since every ultimate

objective of communism (or bolshevism) is out-

rageously false and tending to human enslavement,

it cannot properly be said to be consonant with any

32



“ideal.” Consequently, only a perverted Judaism,

seeking world conquest through human enslave-

ment and exploitation, could possibly be said to be

consonant with communism or bolshevism.

15. Has the dominating Jewish leadership in

bolshevism been discussed in any official

document?

Yes. British White Paper known as “Russia No.

1, April, 1919,” quoted, from report of Sept. 6,

1918, by the Netherlands Minister at St. Peters-

burg, regarding Bolshevism, that

—

it is organized and worked by Jews, who have no
nationality, and whose one object is to destroy

for their own ends the existing order of things.
-p. 6.

This statement accords with what United States

Ambassador to Russia, David R. Francis, wrote

in January, 1918:

The bolshevik leaders here, most of whom are Jews
and ninety per cent of whom are returned exiles,
care little for Russia or any other country but are

internationalists and they are trying to start a

worldwide social revolution.— Russia from the
American Embassy, by David R. Francis, p. 214.

16. Has the alarming extent of Jewish participa-

tion in communist activities in America been

mentioned in any official report?

Yes. In Congressional Report H. R. 2290, 71st

Congress, 3rd Session, (January 17, 1931) , the fol-

lowing information is given:

A large percentage of all the known communist
district organizers (in the United States) are of

Jewish origin.—p. 14.
In the vicinity of New York City the communist

camps include a very high percentage of Jewish

boys and girls, estimated to be as high as 90 per

cent—p. 28.

33



17. Has any Jewish organ in America asserted

as a fact that Jews are seeking to promote

in other countries that which they have been

promoting in Russia?

Yes. In Sept. 10, 1920 issue of “American He-

brew and Jewish Messenger,” the following amaz-

ing statement appears

:

What Jewish idealism and Jewish discontent
have so powerfully contributed to accomplish in

Russia, the same historic qualities of the Jewish

mind and heart are tending to promote in other
countries.—Vol. 107 “American Hebrew,” p. 507.

18. Should any member of the Jewish race seek

to defend, or boast about, Jewish participa-

tion in, or favors acquired from, the com-

munist program?

Certainly not. Every leader, or member, of the

Jewish race co-operating with, or sympathetic to-

ward, communism, which urges perfidy and treason

in a world-wide campaign of despoliation, should be

emphatically repudiated by all law-abiding and

self-respecting members. A world-wide Govern-
ment over all, but favoring a particular race, is nec-

essarily a persecution of all other races. Such

favored race is always in danger of being terribly

persecuted as a race, without any distinctions,

when other races take steps against such mon-

strous efforts to subjugate them.

19. Have any Jewish communities given any

recognition to the Soviet Commissar of For-

eign Affairs, Litvinov (originally Finkel-

stein) ?

Yes. As the result of a poll among Jewish com-

munities on what is called a world scale, his name

has been placed in the Jewish Hall of Fame as

34



one of the “120 greatest living Jews” (Associated

Press Despatch of Sept. 25, 1937)

.

20. Has any leading Jewish organization hon-

ored Karl Marx as an outstanding member

of the Jewish race?

Yes. The Jewish Publication Society of America

sponsored and published in 1920 a book, written

by the prominent Jewish writer Joseph Jacobs, en-

titled “Jewish Contributions to Civilization,” laud-

ing Karl Marx as having manifested “the exalted

indignation of an Isaiah” (pp. 45-6) . This is the

same Society which publishes “The American Jew-

ish Year Book.” Publications by such an organiza-

tion seek, of course, to influence the Jewish race.

If any considerable portion of the race has been

deceived thereby into believing that there was any-

thing “exalted” about Marx’s infamous and de-

basing proposals, every worthy Jew should feel

ashamed of such deception, and should be active

to counteract it.

21. Can the suppression of any of these facts be

justified by anyone?

Certainly not. No true friend of either the Jews

or the rest of humanity can possibly reconcile with

his conscience any such suppression. All races (in-

cluding the Jewish race) will be in constant jeop-

ardy until there has been a public awakening and

a sane and effective correction of conditions. Light

and truth are indispensable to a cure.

22. Is there any possible justification for the

Jewish race or any other race to be perse-

cuted, injured or destroyed?

Never. The malefactors in a race should be dealt

with, rather than the race itself, even though un-

35



worthy leaders of the race may boast about the
race “solidarity” or “unity.” Yet, when the male-

factors in a particular race become so powerful

and numerous in a plot directed against all other

races as to put such other races in imminent jeop-

ardy, a serious practical problem is presented as

to how to protect the innocent members of such

particular race (in this case, the Jewish race or

people), and at the same time protect the mem-

bers of the other races who are attacked.

23. May not the frequent boasts of some Jewish
leaders about “solidarity” or “unity” of the

Jewish race lead many persons to regard all

Jews as malefactors in the communist plot?

Yes, but such conclusion is not true. Such re-

sult is admittedly sought by a number of promi-

nent Jewish leaders and many members of the race

may fear financial or other ruin if they resist the
plot. But it is perfectly obvious that the male-

factors of the race cannot possibly include those

having a spark of honest religious belief of any

kind. Moreover, it is well known that many Jews

have not only jeopardized, but actually sacrificed,

their lives in defense of the American Republic,

and the Jewish Veterans Organization of America

has been outspoken against the menace of commu-

nism. Worthy members of the Jewish race should

courageously make their identities and attitudes

known on every possible occasion, thereby refuting

the efforts of certain outstanding leaders to make

it appear that there is a “solidarity” or “unity”

of the Jewish race behind the infamous plot of

communism. It is obvious that the complete dis-

solution of the communist hordes will not only

save civilized society generally, but will be of spe-

cial benefit to many members of the Jewish race

36



in freeing them from the domination of unscrupu-

lous leaders who are coercing and mis-using large

groups of the race in an attempted world conquest

through communism. Malefactors of other races

who have joined the communist plot, as deceptive

“fronts” or otherwise, must be dealt with along

with malefactors of the Jewish race. Civilized

society cannot longer countenance or endure such

machinations from any quarter.

24. Is there any possible warrant for imputing

“anti-semitism” to those who deal frankly

and fairly with these facts?

Certainly not. If the origin and direction of the

communist plot were centered in the Irish, French,

Italian, or some other race, seeking world con-

quest on its behalf, every worthy member of such

race should resent and expose the plot in the true

interest of his own race, as well as in common jus-

tice to other races, and, of course, members of oth-

er races would have a like right to resent and ex-

pose such plot. They might be called anti-racial

by promoters of the diabolical plot, but surely no

self-respecting person would so assail them. It is

fair to assume, therefore, or at least to strongly

suspect, that those who would suppress the facts,

and who seek to stigmatize as “anti-semitic” those

who make the above facts known, are themselves

involved in some way in the communist plot, and

anxious to prevent exposure of the communist pre-

tense regarding the universal brotherhood of man.

37



VII

IN SOVIET RUSSIA, EVERYBODY (EXCEPT-

ING THE DICTATORS) IS A PRISONER

OF THE GOVERNMENT

1. Has there been any recent reliable report

upon actual conditions in Soviet Russia?

Yes. Robert L. (Believe It Or Not) Ripley made

a personal tour of Soviet Russia in 1934, and had

the courage to report his observations in a Radio

Broadcast of April 4, 1935, from New York City.
He was later denied re-entry into Soviet Russia.

Here are some of the things stated by him in his

address

:

Believe it or not—it is not a paradise but a
paradox. Russia is a gigantic poorhouse where

millions of people are on the verge of starvation

at this moment. Outside of Moscow and Lenin-

grad—the Soviet show places—starvation stalks

through squalor and filth.

But there are no model conditions in the out-

lying rural district of the Ukraine and the Cau-

casus.

Ragged, raving mobs crowded to the train win-

dows begging and crying for bread.

In the single year—1932—four million peasants
died of starvation in the Ukraine and North Cau-

casus—the most fertile part of all Russia.

Starvation in Russia is not due to crop failures

—it is a man-made famine.
The communists delight in appealing to the un-

employed of America by telling them there are

no unemployed in Russia.

Believe it or not—neither are there any unem-
ployed in a penitentiary.

Everybody in Russia is a prisoner of the gov-

ernment. The workingman has no choice about

his work, or where he lives, or how much he is

paid. He has no religion, no home life and no

privacy.

38



Despite the depression—which is world wide—
the United States still has more prosperity, more

freedom, more tolerance and more happiness

than any other nation in the world.

2. Does the Soviet regime provide a uniform

wage to all?

By no means. Workers receive varying amounts,

some as high as 2,000 rubles per month, but most

of them as low as 150 rubles per month (a ruble

amounting to only about seven cents) . Moreover,

prices of bare necessities are so high as to make

these last-named amounts starvation wages. Con-

sequently the wretchedness is even worse than

that of ordinary slaves, who are usually well fed.

These unfortunates may well hope for the coming

of the communist “ideal” of no wages at all to

workers—just work for their keep, like slaves have
always done. Yet, the prospect, even then, of

treatment from communists equal to what is usu-

ally provided for slaves, is obviously remote.

3. What truth is there in the communist claim

that a classless society has been established

under the Soviet regime?

Absolutely none. There is a special favored

class or group called the Communist Party com-

posed of less than 2% of the population. The gen-
eral population has nothing to say as to the mem-

bership of such class or group, which exercises

unbridled power. In fact, the Communist Party

is itself controlled by dictators, and no individual

communist is protected against summary ouster

or execution. However, the mass starvations and

executions have been chiefly of persons too civil-

ized, intelligent and respectable to adapt them-

selves to communism.

A

4. Is there any available data regarding the

number of persons killed and executed in

Russia under the Soviet regime?

According to the Army Chaplain magazine of
October 1935, the number of persons killed and

executed in Russia under the Soviet regime had

then reached the staggering total of 11,726,746

—

nearly two million more dead than the total killed

in the World War.

5. Has any recent book revealed the perfidy of

the Soviet boast of “abolition of unemploy-

ment”?

Yes. “Russia’s Iron Age,” by William Henry

Chamberlin, explains that the so-called abolition

of unemployment

—

might be just as plausibly, although less pleas-

antly, described as a mass conscription of labor.

—p. 96.

adding:

A final and complete abandonment of terrorism
as an instrument of government will only come

when the grimly pragmatic philosophy which as-
sumes that the individual has no rights which the

state is bound to respect is discarded.—p. 173.

6. Is there not necessarily, therefore, an inher-

ent perfidy in communist leadership or par-

ticipation in labor union agitation in America?

Unquestionably. Neither collective bargaining,

nor striking, is permitted in Soviet Russia, and

nothing of the sort would be recognized in a Soviet

America. In the very nature of things, every

thinking person must know that neither can be

permitted under communism or socialism, since

the State is the sole owner and employer in every

field. A strike of government employees, or the

40



recognition of exclusive collective bargaining pow-

er in any union of government employees, would,

obviously, paralyze the government
;
in fact, would

destroy the government. The President of the

United States of America has recently recognized

this inherent condition by warning that the gov-

ernment cannot deal with any union as an exclu-

sive bargaining agency for federal workers, or tol-

erate a strike by such workers. Consequently,

where the State is the sole employer, as under

communism and socialism, labor would have no

rights, but be reduced to slavery. Labor agitation

in Soviet Russia is not differentiated from other

forms of “counter-revolution,” and is summarily

dealt with as such.

7. What is the real purpose of the movement

throughout the world to have “one federa-

tion of trade unions in each country” and

“one international of trade unions”?

Both its purpose and the methods employed are

obviously and flagrantly of the communistic flavor

—not in aid of any “collective bargaining” of labor,
but to regiment labor for the communist revolu-

tion. Mass regimentation of labor under the com-

munists is a part of the admitted “United Front”

tactics of the Communist International expressly

declared in resolutions adopted at their Seventh

World Congress in 1935, as follows:

for one federation of trade unions in each coun-

try; for one international federation of trade

unions organized according to industries; for one

international of trade unions based on the class

struggle.—p. 31.

At said World Congress, its Secretary-General

warned that failure of the earlier revolutions in

Spain had been due to failure to adopt “the fre-

41



quent proposals of the communists” to “weld the

working class into a united trade union organiza-

tion,” “demand the confiscation of all the lands of

the landlords, the church and the monasteries in

favor of the peasants,” and “strike” at “the might

of the Catholic Church.”—Communist publication
“Dimitroff— Working Class Unity— Bulwark
Against Fascism,” September 1935, p. 20.

8. Do the vocational unions approved in the

Papal Encyclicals bear any resemblance to the

so-called “industrial unions” advocated by the

communists?

Absolutely none. The former are voluntary or-

ganizations of self-governing members. The lat-

ter are tyrannical organizations utilizing coercion

and lawlessness both upon members and others, so

as to regiment the workers under the dictatorship

of the communists. Organizations to regiment

labor for the communist cause are at the present

time easily identified and distinguished by (1) the

many communists active in them, (2) the lawless

and ruthless tactics employed, and (3) the approv-

al given them in the communist and communist-

aiding press.

9. Is the “sit down strike” of American origin?

By no means. It was used by communists

abroad, and its use in America has been largely

directed by communists.

10. Can a “sit down strike” be countenanced in

civilized society?

Never. Its undeniable lawlessness cannot be al-

tered by specious arguments that the factory is

“an extension of the home” or that a “full partner-

ship” in the factory exists between employers and

42



employees. Such arguments are the quintessence

of lawlessness and anarchy, and those making

them should not be considered as trustworthy ad-

visers of civilized society. Their necessary ten-

dency is to produce chaos, and thereby pave the

way for a communist revolution.

VIII

COMMUNIST DECEPTION THROUGH EDU-

CATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, PUBLIC

LIBRARIES, AND PUBLIC PRESS

1. Do the occult forces behind communism ever

proclaim a purpose to reduce humanity to the

level of cattle under their domination?

By no means. They carefully conceal such pur-

pose, by disguising their program as a crusade for

human freedom. Otherwise, their program would

be as futile as unbaited fish-hooks.

2. Have educational institutions been invaded

by them?

Yes, on a most extensive and alarming scale.

(N. Y. State Report of April 24, 1920, known as

“Lusk Report”
;
“Reds in America,” by R. M. Whit-

ney, published in 1924
;
“The Red Hand in the Pro-

fessor’s Glove,” by Dr. William W. Cowan, pub-

lished in 1933 ; “Crucifying Christ in Our Colleges,”

by Dan Gilbert (1933).

3. How are the adepts or helpers of the commu-
nists enabled to invade educational institu-

tions?

Most frequently, by- assuming the guise of

learned “Economists,” and pretending to have dis-

covered the true social economy, social science, or

philosophy of life.

4. When they are discovered and exposed, do
they gracefully withdraw?

By no means. They indignantly defy all criti-

cism of them, and throw about themselves a cloak

of false “Academic Freedom.” All rights of the

45



Nation, parents, and even pupils or students are

flaunted and rejected by them. A more accurate
term for their pretended right would be “Academ-

ic Anarchy.” Nurses would have as much right
to intermix poisonous ingredients in the food of

patients. Even a death-producing poison would be

preferable to a poison producing human serfdom.

5. Is such perversive and subversive invasion of

education, through pretended “Academic

Freedom,” of recent origin?

By no means. Before 1789, it was invoked in

France to pervert and subvert everything worth-

while, including undermining of religion, morality

and patriotism in youth, in preparation for the

French Revolution of Terrorism (History of Ja-

cobinism, by Abbe Barruel, published in London

1797) . The “fake” educators of that period called

themselves “Academicians,” and their Secretary

said:

Lest our object should be surmised we called our-
selves “Economists.”

In Encyclical “The Dangers and Evils of the

Times,” November 9, 1846 (two years before the

Communist Manifesto of 1848), Pope Pius IX gave

warning against

that system of education, especially in philosophi-

cal studies, that deceives and corrupts to a de-

plorable degree our thoughtless youth, offering

them the bitter gall of the dragon in the cup of

Babylon.

6. Have the public schools of the United States

been invaded by any such perversive and sub-

versive poisoning of the wells of knowledge?

Yes, on an ever-increasing scale, since about

1900. In September 1923, the Historical Commis-

sion of the Knights of Columbus, after a two years’

46



investigation into the condition of text books

on American History, reported the extensive use

in the United States, for more than 25 years, of

distorted history books giving “false and unpatri-

otic conceptions and theories.” (Columbia Maga-

zine, September 1923, p. 22). Recent investiga-

tions into conditions in the public schools of the

United States have disclosed an extensive use of

outrageously deceptive text books and study mag-

azines, directly calculated to cultivate in pupils a

receptive and friendly attitude toward communism,

instead of telling them the real truth about it so

as to prepare them to combat it. In some of such

matter, pupils have been actually told that “patri-

otism” is “childishness and hypocrisy,” that the

“national flower” in America has become “the razz-

berry,” and that “for boys and girls communism

offers school, hope and adventure.” Text books

falsely depicting communism as a social science,

and as having benefited the Russian people and

raised their standard of living, are in high favor

with many public school authorities, and are ap-

proved for regular and compulsory courses. (See

pamphlet “Academic Freedom,” by George Edward

Sullivan, October 1936.)

7. Are public school teachers permitted “Aca-

demic Freedom” against the use of such text

books and study magazines?

No. They are allowed no such freedom. This

mis-labeled freedom is designed to promote, not

to prevent, perversive and subversive invasion.

Teachers are commanded by Superintendents of

Schools and Boards of Education to use such text

books and study magazines, and they must either

do so or lose their positions. This condition is all

the more inexcusable, in view of the prophetic

47



warning given by a patriotic Boston school teacher

in 1919, echoing a declaration of Lenin

:

Give us one generation of small children to

train to manhood and womanhood, and we will
set up the bolshevik form of the Soviet govern-

ment.

8. Are the rank and file of American teachers

loyal?

Undoubtedly most of them are; but there is

genuine alarm as to whether there are not many

exceptions at the present time. Thousands of

teachers now serving in public schools in various

parts of the Nation have taken courses at Teach-

ers’ College, Columbia University, where they

come under the direct influence of Dr. George S.

Counts, Professor of Education there. Dr. Counts

is editor of a magazine for teachers styled “Social

Frontier,” in the November 1935 issue of which

teachers were urged to direct their

—

energies along lines indicated by Marxian tactics.

—p. 55.

Dr. Counts wrote the foreword to Stalin’s book

“The New Russian Policy,” published in 1931. In
the following year 1932, he wrote a book of his

own “Dare the Schools Build a New Social Order?”
urging teachers to “positively influence the social

attitudes, ideals and behavior of the coming gen-

eration” (p. 29) , for “democracy under novel con-

ditions” (p. 40), which “should not be identified
* * * with the federal constitution, the popular

election of officials, or the practice of universal

suffrage” (p. 40), and “finally be prepared as a

last resort, in either the defense or the realization

of this purpose, to follow the method of revolu-

tion.” (pp. 41-42) . Dr. Counts served as an asso-

ciate with the Superintendent of Schools of the

48



Nation’s Capital on a so-called “Commission on the

Social Studies” hereinafter dealt with. (See list

of members of said “Commission” in front of each

volume or “Part” of its so-called “Report.”)

9. Has Dr. Counts said anything to suggest

knowledge by him that preparations for a

revolution in America are far advanced?

Yes. In the June 1935 issue of “Social Fron-

tier” (of which he is editor)
,
the following amaz-

ing statement appears:

The next issue, Volume II, Number 1, unless the
revolution occurs in the interval, will appear in

October, 1935.

Why was such a person (so close to Stalin as to
write the Foreword for one of his books) antici-

pating the occurrence of the revolution in America

during the summer of 1935, if he were not aware

that preparations were far advanced?

10. Is there evidence of any concerted effort to

have American teachers refrain from de-

nouncing communism?

Yes. That appears to have been one of the main

purposes of so-called “Report” of so-called “Com-

mission on the Social Studies” published in Parts

or Volumes, commencing in 1932. It is sponsored

by so-called “American Historical Association,”

and the Superintendent of Schools of the Nation’s

Capital has served both as a member and as secre-

tary of said “Commission.” In Part I, p. 45, of

said Report it is pointedly suggested that “enlight-

ened” communities do not expect teachers to de-

nounce communism. Again, in Part XII the pro-

positions are advanced, (1) that even “confessed

communists” should be “safe” in teaching positions

49



(p. 91), and (2) that “complete freedom” should be

accorded all teachers (p. 778)

.

11. Do the persons responsible for such amazing

“Report” hold influential positions over the

education of youth in our Nation?

Yes. Every member of such “Commission”

holds such a position.

12. What is the necessary effect of such a report

upon the teachers and youth of our Nation?

Most harmful. Every communist is an enemy of

our Government, bent upon its destruction, and,

consequently, has no right to hold any position in

any school in the Nation. The oath of office re-

quired of teachers in the public schools cannot pos-

sibly be taken by a communist otherwise than per-

fidiously and hypocritically, first, because a com-

munist denies all belief in God, and second, be-

cause a communist is inherently disloyal to every

nation except the world-wide Soviet.

13. Is there any evidence that said “Report” of

said “Commission” has been recommended

to public school teachers of the Nation’s

Capital?

Yes, in Washington Public School Document No.

1 of 1936, p. 104, the Board of Education, on rec-

ommendation of the Superintendent of Schools of

the Nation’s Capital, expressly approved such

“Report” for “General reference reading on meth-

ods for teachers.”

14. Do the public school authorities of the Na-

tion’s Capital require teachers to depict Karl

Marx as a true friend of humanity, instead

of telling pupils the truth about his having

been an arch-conspirator against humanity?

50



Yes. Not only are teachers required to use text-

books and study magazines which depict Karl Marx

favorably, but in Washington Public School Docu-

ment No. 1 of 1936, p. 10, teachers are directly told

to feature the “Character of Marx” as noteworthy

for—

(1) His sympathy for the poor.

(2) His originality in thinking out a plan.

15. Is the alarming condition of affairs in the

public schools of the Nation’s Capital of long

duration?

Yes. In 1924, Congress was advised of disre-

spect to the Holy Bible being taught in the public

schools of the Nation’s Capital (Cong. Record, Yol.

65, Part 8, pp. 7796-7) , and, by Act of June 7, 1924,

Congress expressly prohibited payment of salary

to any one in the public schools of the District of

Columbia who taught disrespect to the Holy Bible.

Such prohibition was kept in force for two years.

Yet, as late as January 1935, the public school

authorities of the Nation’s Capital adopted as a

text-book for the training of public school teachers

“European Civilization and Politics Since 1815,” by

Erik Achorn, which book taught disrespect for the

Holy Bible (pp. 4, 335), and also lauded commu-

nism (pp. 532-40) . This particular text-book was

later withdrawn in December 1935 during a public

protest by citizens against anti-patriotic and pro-

communistic matter in such public schools. But

other pro-communistic matter has been boldly re-

tained notwithstanding such protest, and the pub-

lic school authorities blandly assure the public that

objectionable matter has never invaded the public

schools. Similarly outrageous conditions have

been found elsewhere.

51



16. How long has the present Superintendent of
Schools of the Nation’s Capital held such

office?

Continuously since July 1, 1920.

17. Who nominated him for his original appoint-
ment in 1920?

A prominent Rabbi who was then a member of
the Board of Education D. C. (Vol. 10, Minutes of

Board of Education D. C.—meeting of June 28,
1920, p. 1.)

18. Did the predecessor of such nominee favor

or oppose cultivating in pupils a receptive or

favorable attitude toward communism or

bolshevism?

Such predecessor had vigorously opposed any

such deception of pupils, and his attitude in this

connection was publicly well-known, because he

had, in 1919, the very year preceding his displace-

ment, reprimanded a teacher in one of the high

schools of the Nation’s Capital for telling her class

that bolshevism possessed good features.

19. Has the fact of the invasion of the public

schools of the Nation’s Capital by anti-patri-

otic and pro-communistic propaganda, since

1920, during the administration of his nom-

inee, been brought to the attention of the

prominent Rabbi who made the nomination?

Yes. But the learned Rabbi has taken no steps

looking to either the dismissal of his said nominee,

or correction of such intolerable conditions.

20. Since religious teaching is entirely banned

from the public schools, how can “fake” edu-

cators justify invading the field of religion

there in any manner?

52



They cannot; so they cunningly draw a distinc-

tion between the teaching of religion and the teach-

ing of irreligion. The former is pretended by them

to be opposed to science, and the latter to be sus-

tained by it. Under the guise of history, biology,

and kindred titles, they brazenly use the class-

room to undermine and destroy such religious be-

liefs as may be instilled in pupils at home and in

churches. Public school authorities have boldly

approved and prescribed text-books teaching dis-

respect for the Holy Bible, and have even used

public tax moneys to purchase such books. Such

text-books suggest or pretend that there never

had been any Biblical Creation or any Fall of Man,

and actually laud Darwin for his infamous pretense

that man and ape are both descended from a com-

mon anthropoid ancestor. In some places, morally-

undermining matter has been actually assigned to

public school pupils as selected reading matter. Ir-

religion and immorality are, of course, twin ene-

mies of civilization.

21. Have efforts to remedy the existing alarm-

ing conditions in public schools of the Nation

been successful?

No
;
and they never will be until there has been

a thorough official housecleaning, and everyone is

removed from public office who has in any way

aided or encouraged communism, whether corrupt-

ly or merely stupidly. Abolition of religion is, of

course, one of the main objectives of communism.

22. In the interim before relief is attainable, and

also as a matter of general permanent legis-

lation, why cannot some relief be obtained

by at least a legislative provision for allow-

ance or remittance to parents (on account

of education of their children in other

53



schools) of the pro rata cost of educating

such children in the public school system?

A bill of such nature has been recently intro-
duced in the New York State Assembly, by Assem-
blyman Daniel E. Fitzgerald.

23. Are opponents of such legislation promoting

American principles?

Obviously not. They apparently overlook the

fundamental Americanism which was distinctly

recognized by the Supreme Court of the United

States in the Oregon School Cases (268 U. S. 510,

decided in 1925). As the Supreme Court said

“The child is not the mere creature of the State,”

and the State lacks powers “to standardize its chil-

dren by forcing them to accept instruction from

public school teachers only.” The State should

not, therefore, either directly or indirectly, force

children to attend the public schools, except as a

last resort in default of all attendance at school.

The Supreme Court’s decision was not meant for

the rich only, but for poor and rich alike. So heav-

ily are the people taxed for the public schools that

few can afford to also contribute toward education-

al facilities in private or parochial schools, where

regular instruction in religion and morality can be

obtained as a component part of the education, day

in and day out. If religion is essential to morality,

and morality vital to the prosperity of the Nation,

as George Washington warned in his Farewell Ad-

dress, no sound reason can be advanced against the

promotion of general diffusion of knowledge con-

sonant with, and embracing, religion and morality.

The public schools are very essential institutions to

take care of those who would otherwise lack edu-

cational facilities; but the necessary absence of

religious instruction in such schools, of course, pre-

54



vents them from being the best educational insti-

tutions for young children, with all due respect to

those who think the general school life of children

should be devoid of religion. A Nation which
hampers, impedes or discourages opportunity for

thorough and complete religious instruction, is

really dissolving civilized society. A public school
monopoly or bureaucracy will inevitably lead to

paganism.

24. What is the condition of affairs concerning

communistic propaganda in Public Libraries

of the United States?

Outrageous, as to many, if not most. Perversive

and subversive books, reeking with falsehood and

deception, are freely carried, and usually without

any label indicating such character. Public libra-

rians of today usually feel secure in their positions,

notwithstanding such outrageous conduct. Every

honest-minded person must admit that communis-

tic propaganda, or other perversive or subversive

matter, if not specially labeled when placed upon

the shelves of a public library, just as bottles con-

taining poisons are required to be labeled when

given to the public, should at least have a restric-

tive circulation limited to those old enough to know

how to use it.

25. Has not the public press exposed all such

perversive and subversive poisoning of the

sources of knowledge?

Unfortunately not. Most of the public press

have, with few commendable exceptions, conduct-

ed persistent campaigns of deception about such

conditions, in lieu of efforts to obtain a public awak-

ening, even holding up to ridicule loyal citizens who

seek to expose such conditions, such citizens being

55



called “super-patriots,” “alarmists,” “red-baiters,”

“witch-burners,” etc. Whether this is due to “ad-

vertising control,” or something worse, has not

been definitely ascertained. When the public final-
ly learns of this treachery, there may be a boy-

cott against the disloyal press which will not be

soon forgotten.

26. Can there be any real functioning of our

Republic as intended and provided for by

our Forefathers if the press be not only per-

mitted but required to be free or at least re-

quired to confess their voluntary serfdom?

Absolutely not. A servile and deceptive press
has no more right to withhold its true identity

and character from the public, than have other

cheats and swindlers to pursue their calling un-

molested.

27. How can the public press be required to be
free, or at least confess the condition of

voluntary serfdom or servility where it ex-

ists?

By perfectly valid provisions of law. It is not

a matter of censorship in any sense. They can

publish any matter they wish uncensored, but they

can be held criminally for serious falsehood and

deception regarding political or so-called political

matters, just as they are made liable under exist-

ing law for other libelous matter. Moreover, they

can be made liable criminally for sailing under

false colors or suppressing their true colors from

the public.

28. Is deception of the public by the press of re-

cent origin?

By no means. It is of long duration, but is be-

56



coming more and more intolerable. As far back as

1807, Thomas Jefferson wrote

:

I really look with commiseration over the great

body of my fellow citizens who reading newspapers
live and die in the belief that they have known

something of what has been passing in the world

of their time.—Vol I, p. 244, Life of Aaron Burr,

by James Parton, published in 1857.

The recent report of the Federal Trade Commis-

sion to the Senate of the United States, on “propa-

ganda activities” of public utility corporations, dis-

closed a shameful condition reflecting upon a large

section of the press of the Nation,—plain propa-
ganda, prepared by public utility corporations, be-

ing actually inserted under the guise of editorials

(Part 71-A, Report of Federal Trade Commission,

December 1934) . When Samuel Gompers (before

1924) warned against American recognition of So-

viet Russia, he added : “In making these assertions

I am mindful of the amazing propaganda with
which American public life is flooded.”

29. Have the communist-aiding press practiced

deception regarding the so-called Child

Labor Amendment?

Yes, most outrageously. They have brazenly

asserted that only unconscionable exploiters of

children can oppose such proposed Amendment to

the U. S. Constitution. The Amendment would in

nowise prohibit exploitation of children in hazard-

ous or other occupations, but would give the Fed-

eral Government unrestrained power to direct and

exploit—the terms used being “power to limit,
regulate, and prohibit the labor of persons under

18 years of age” (about 45,000,000 youth), thus

paralleling the Soviet power in such connection,

by enabling nationalization of youth, superseding

parental authority, and disrupting the home.

57



IX

COMMUNISTS MAKE WAR UNDER DISGUISE
OF PEACE

1. Will the constant advocacy of Peace by the

communists and their supporters bring about

an era of Peace and Good-Will?

Quite the contrary. Such agitation is intended

for dupes only. In December 1922 issue of Com-

munist (official organ of the Communist Party),

Vol. I, No. 11, the following instruction to active

communists was given:

The communist must never mix the senile the-

ory of pacifism with the theory of revolution.

Communists are not pacifists. In the conscripted

army of the masses, there is work for the commu-

nist to do.

2. What then is the purpose of the “Peace” prop-

aganda of the communists?

To trick the Nations of the World into disarm-

ing, and destroying all National Defense, thereby

making such Nations easier victims when the com-

munist revolution takes place.

3. Is there any truth in the assertion that the

communists have long since abandoned fight-

ing preparations?

Absolutely none. In August 1, 1928, issue of

Izvestia (official communist organ)
,
active commu-

nists were told:

While the defense of one’s fatherland is not to

be tolerated in imperialistic (non-communist)

countries, in the land of the proletarian dictator-

ship it is one’s first revolutionary duty.

Again, in September 9, 1928, issue of Pravda (an-

58



other official communist organ)
,
active communists

were further told

:

The world-wide nature of our program is not

mere talk hut an all-embracing and blood-soaked

reality. It cannot be otherwise. Our ultimate

aim is world communism; our fighting prepara-

tions are for world revolution, for the conquest of

power on a world-wide scale, and the establish-

ment of a world proletarian dictatorship.

4. Has the American Communist Party refused

to countenance preparations for violent revo-

lution?

On the contrary, it has actively encouraged such

preparations. In April, 1934, the Manifesto of the

8th Convention of the Communist Party of the

U. S. A. declared

:

The revolutionary way out of the crisis begins

with the fight for unemployment insurance,

against wage-cuts, for wage increases, for relief to

the farmers—through demonstrations, strikes,

general strikes, leading up to the seizure of power,

to the destruction of capitalism by a revolution-

ary workers’ government.

5. Has Earl Browder, the Secretary of the Com-

munist Party, U. S. A., made any recent dec-

laration on this subject?

Yes. In his book What is Communism?—pub-
lished in 1936, he asserted

—

The revolution does not simply happen; it must

be made.—p. 163.

There must be what we communists call “a revo-

lutionary situation”—p. 163.

Thus, some form of violence is unavoidable. There

is no possible choice between violence and non-

violence. The only choice is between the two

sides of the class struggle—p. 169.

59



6. Are these preparations for violence by the

Communist Party, U. S. A., in accord with in-

structions and directions of the Communist

International?

Unquestionably so. The following explicit in-

structions were given by the Sixth World Congress

of the Communist International, held in Moscow

July and August 1928:

In regard to the necessary conditions precedent

for rebellion.—A revolutionary situation must pre-
vail, i. e., the ruling class must be in a state of

crisis.
* * * The misery and oppression of the

masses must be intensified to an extraordinary de-

gree, and the masses must be active and ready to

overthrow the government by revolutionary mass

action.

Again, as late as 1936, the published Program of

the Communist International boasted that

—

The Communist International is the only interna-

tional force that has for its program the dictator-

ship of the proletariat and communism, and that

openly comes out as the organizer of the interna-

tional proletarian revolution.—p. ID;

and proclaimed the following as necessary aims and

objectives

—

disarming the bourgeoisie and arming the prole-

tariat, etc., and by organized mass action, upon

which aU branches of the party agitation and

propaganda, including parliamentary activity,

must be concentrated. This mass action includes:

a combination of strikes and demonstrations; a

combination of strikes and armed demonstra-

tions; and finaUy, the general strike conjointly

with armed insurrection against the state power

of the bourgeoisie—p. 80 .

ORDINARY PIRATES ALMOST RESPECT-

ABLE IN COMPARISON WITH THE

COMMUNIST FORCES

1. Is the fact that the communists are waging

an undeclared war against civilization, and

are conducting it in defiance of the rules of

war, open to any question?

Absolutely none. At the Communist World Con-

gress of August 1935, its Secretary General Dimit-

roff brazenly asserted

:

Comrades, you will remember the ancient tale

of the capture of Troy. Troy was inaccessible to

the armies attacking her, thanks to her impreg-

nable walls. And the attacking army was unable
to achieve victory until, with the • aid of the

famous Trojan Horse, it managed to penetrate to

the very heart of the enemy’s camp.

We revolutionary workers, it seems to me,
should not be shy of using the same tactics.

Comrades, in the struggle for the establishment

of the United Front the importance of the lead-

ing role of the Communist Party increases extraor-

dinarily. Only the Communist Party is at bot-

tom the initiator, the organizer and the driving

force of the united front of the working class.

—Communist pamphlet “Dimitroff—Working Class
Unity— Bulwark Against Fascism,” September
1935, pp. 52, 84.

2. Has Stalin given special instructions as to the

necessary leadership of the Communist Party

in alliances with other groups?

Yes. In Problems of Leninism, by Stalin, pub-

lished in 1934, he discussed such alliances, and

then said:

The leader within the system of the dictator-

ship of the proletariat is a single party, the party

61



of the proletariat, the party of the communists,

which does not and cannot share that leadership

with other parties.—p. 22.

3. Under such conditions, what would be the

effect of a “United Front” in the United

States?

The “United Front” would be used as the “Tro-

jan Horse” to carry the Communist Party into ac-

tual power, and destroy our Republic.

4. Is the so-called American Communist Party

an American Party in any true sense?

No. It was organized in 1919, composed “mostly

of foreign-born workers.” Moreover, “The com-

munists in the United States openly admit their

allegiance to the Communist International at Mos-

cow, and glory in the fact that they obey all the

orders issued from there immediately and implic-

itly.”

—

H. R. Report No. 2290, 71st Congress, 3rd

Session, Jan 17, 1931, p. 9.

5. Has not Earl Browder (communist leader, and

recently candidate of the Communist Party

for President of the United States) admitted

that the Communist Party comprises various

disreputable elements?

Yes. In his recent book “What is Communism ?”

he asserted

:

The Communist Party is the modern continua-

tion of the revolutionary socialist movement,

which has a continuous history of organization in

the United States for six or seven decades. It has

gathered unto itself the most vigorous of the for-

merly scattered and split revolutionary trends

and currents from the Socialist Party, the Social-

ist Labor Party, the Industrial Workers of the

World (I. W. W.), and even the proletarian ele-

ments of the old anarchist movement.—pp. 205-6.

62



6. Have not the communist leaders repeatedly

given directions showing that the world is

being subjected by them to a ruthless and un-

declared war of the piratical variety?

Most certainly. Lenin expressly directed

:

One must strive to take the enemy by surprise.
—

'Vol XXI, Book n, Lenin’s Collected Works, pp.
97-98 .

Stalin has recently re-proclaimed the same instruc-

tions in his Foundations of Leninism, p. 94. On p.
95 of the same book, Stalin urges “practical bank-

ruptcy” in a victim Nation as a condition to be de-

sired and availed of to overthrow the Nation. Of

course, such diabolical method (if the citizens be

not alert) can cause the bulk of property owned by

loyal citizens to pass to the Government in settle-

ment of tax bills,—thereby creating an enforced
Collectivism, in preparation for the Soviet regime.

Consequently, waste and extravagance in Govern-

mental circles should not be lightly disregarded by

the citizenry, and particularly when such officials

insist upon treating the communists in a friendly

way, rather than as criminal conspirators.

7. Did American recognition of Soviet Russia

have any justification?

Absolutely none. The late Samuel Gompers

stated the plain truth of the matter:

I can think of nothing that would constitute a

more needless and base betrayal of civilization

than American recognition of Soviet Russia.

The whole communist program involves, of course,

as every student of the subject is well aware,

world-wide piracy,—disguised attacks upon, and
robbery of, civilized peoples, without any open de-

claration of war, and, consequently, with contempt

63



for the rules of war. It is quite apparent that, in

comparison with any group of communist forces,

ordinary pirates may well be considered almost re-
spectable. The suggestion that a civilized Nation

should recognize a band of pirates, for trade or

commerce with them, is obviously revolting and

monstrous. Equally revolting and monstrous is the

serious acceptance by any civilized Nation of a

promise that the piratical operations will in future

be limited to other Nations, instead of requiring,

before recognition, an absolute and permanent ces-

sation of all piratical plans and operations, the elim-

ination and punishment of the piratical group, and

the establishment of a civilized government.

8. What are the evil consequences from Ameri-

can recognition of Soviet Russia?

They are most extensive, including:

1. Making easier the penetration and pollution

of every American principle and ideal.

2. Facilitating overthrow of the American Re-

public, through both subtle usurpation and

ultimate violence, signally aided by influx of

official plotters from abroad.

3. Enabling the shipment of munitions of war

from the United States to Soviet Russia to

better equip her to secretly invade and subju-

gate other countries.

4. Making possible cooperation between the Uni-

ted States and Soviet Russia in denouncing

as aggressors and non-peace-loving countries

Nations which aid the defense against secret

Soviet depredations in other countries.

The result is an appalling mis-use of our noble Re-

public founded upon Liberty and Civilization, to

aid destruction of both everywhere through com-

munist dictatorship.

64



XI

INDIFFERENCE OF PUBLIC SERVANTS AND
POLITICAL PARTIES TO THE

COMMUNIST MENACE

1. Did the revelations in the “Lusk Report” of

1920, and the Bridgman, Mich., Raid of 1922,

make manifest to every alert loyal American

citizen that there should be no cessation of the

investigative work by the Department of Jus-

tice into communist activities, but rather a

vigorous prosecution and extension thereof?

Most assuredly.

2. What explanation, then, can be given for the

supine conduct of the Congress of the United

States in refusing all appropriation for the

continuance by the Department of Justice of

such investigative work since 1925?

The only conceivable one is that Congress must

have long since ceased to be composed exclusively

of alert loyal American citizens.

3. Did not the activities of the Military Intelli-

gence Unit make the Department of Justice

Unit unnecessary in this connection?

By no means. The astounding facts in this con-

nection are set forth in H. R. Report 2290, 71st

Congress, 3rd Session (January 17, 1931)

:

The attitude of the War Department up to now
has been that communism being a political ques-

tion, it was not the function of the Army to main-
tain detailed knowledge of the activities of the

communists and therefore relied on the Depart-

ment of Justice to furnish the necessary infor-

mation. The fact is that the Department of Jus-

tice has had no power or authority from Congress

65



to obtain the facts regarding communist propa-

ganda and activities since 1925, and of necessity

the War Department has been ever since hope-
lessly in the dark regarding these revolutionary

activities directed against our domestic institu-

tions by the enemies within our gates p. 35.

In the same Congressional Report, the insidious

invasion of the National Guard by the communists

was disclosed

:

Numerous National Guard officers in various

sections of the country testified that communists

were enlisting in the Guard and forming cells and

nuclei which were difficult to discover, and it was

even more difficult to secure conclusive proof

against them. It appears from the testimony that

the communists often entered the Guard with the

preconceived plan of serving in the machine-gun

units.—p. 34.

4. At any rate, has not the Naval Intelligence

Unit continued its investigations and reports re-

garding communist activities?

Yes
;
up to December 1935, but the President of

the United States then intervened with special in-

structions reported in New York Times of Decem-
ber 7, 1935

:

Following a conference with representatives of

religious organizations, President Roosevelt has

instructed the Army and Navy to make no com-
ments on any civilian organization or its policies

without his specific consent, it was declared to-

day by the National Conference of Jews and Chris-

tians.

Such instructions followed the printing in the Con-

gressional Record of September 10, 1935, Vol. 79,

pp. 15270-1, of Naval Intelligence Unit Memoran-

djum of April 1, 1935, giving “a comprehensive sur-

vey of communist activities in the United States

at the present time,” including “fringe revolution-

ists” “too lacking in intestinal fortitude to go all

66



the way with communism, but who stand by and

urge the communist to do his worst, and provide

him with protection, sympathy, and defense while

he commits the overt act they have not the courage

to commit themselves.”

5. Is there any evidence that the communists

have become more bold since Congress pre-

vented the Department of Justice from con-

tinuing its investigation of communist activ-

ities?

Yes. In 1928, William Z. Foster, Communist

Party candidate for President of the United States,

brazenly declared:

When a communist heads a government in the
United States—and that day will come as surely

as the sun rises—that government will not be a

capitalistic government but a soviet government,

and behind this government will stand the Red
Army.—Acceptance speech of William Z. Foster,

p. 11, 1928 communist publication.

6. What reasonable expectation can the com-

munists have that any considerable number

of persons will become victims of their plot?

They know that such deception has been increas-

ingly successful in practically every Nation in the

world. They further know that communism has

been making almost unbelievable progress in the

United States in recent years, aided by an outrag-

eous press campaign characterizing as “hysteria”

practically every effort by patriotic citizens to de-

fend their Nation, religion, and civilization itself,

against the persistent attacks of communism. They

also know that the supine conduct of the Congress

of the United States in refusing to make any ap-

propriation since 1925 for investigation by the De-

partment of Justice of communist activities, has

67



aided their nefarious work immeasurably. They

are further aware of the immense aid given them

by American recognition of Soviet Russia in No-

vember 1933, the conditions of which recognition

have been flagrantly violated, yet the recognition

continues undisturbed.

7. Should any civilized society continue its rec-

ognition of, or servility to, the communist

forces?

By no means. An efficient remedy must be
found and applied without delay, else civilized so-

ciety will be completely dissolved.

8. What is the first and most necessary remedy?

The complete elimination from public office, at

the earliest possible moment, of everyone who has

in any manner aided, or been friendly or sym-

pathetic to, any phase of the communist program,

whether corruptly or negligently. It is quite obvi-

ous that neither of the existing great Political

Parties in America can be relied upon to furnish

the needed remedy. Not only did they omit from

the last National Platforms any plank dealing with

safeguards against communism, but they have each

been guilty of a continuing failure since 1925 to

suitably press for a Congressional appropriation to

enable the Department of Justice to investigate

communist activities. Consequently, what is

needed is AN ANTI-COMMUNIST PARTY, dedi-
cated to the preservation of the American Repub-

lic in accordance with its fundamental law or Con-

stitution, enforceable by the Supreme Court of the

United States. There are some public servants in

each of the present great Political Parties who are

aggressively against the communist menace, but

such Parties appear to pay little heed to their

efforts.

68



9. Do the communists themselves realize that

this is the only efficient remedy?

Yes. It was expressly anticipated and opposed

in instructions given by the Secretary-General of

the Seventh World Congress of the Communist In-

ternational in 1935, as follows

:

In no case must the initiative of organizing the

party be allowed to pass to elements desirous of

utilizing the discontent of the masses which have

become disillusioned in both of the bourgeoise

parties, Democratic and Republican, in order to

create a “third party” in the United States, as an

anti-communist party, a party directed against

the revolutionary movement.—-p. 42-3, communist

pamphlet “Dimitroff—Working Class Unity-Bul-
wark Against Fascism,” September, 1935.



XII

COMMUNISM AND SOCIALISM TWIN
MEDIUMS, UTILIZED BY SAME

OCCULT FORCES

1. Compare communism and socialism.

They each seek similar abolition. “Communism”

is derived from the word “community,” and “so-

cialism” from the word “society,” thus producing

two innocently-appearing banners for the work.

Both banners have long been identified with a body

of men organized nationally and federated interna-

tionally. Leaders in both groups serve in a mul-

tiplicity of interlocking directorates of subversive

organizations. One of the most noted socialist

leaders in America, Morris Hillquit, declared in

The Worker of March 23, 1907

:

The international socialist movement, with its

thirty million adherents, and its organized parties

in about twenty-five civilized countries in both

Hemispheres, is all based on the same Marxian pro-

gram.

2. Has the Socialist Party declared socialism to

be a world movement?

Yes. The 1904 Platform of the Socialist Party

of America expressly declared the “socialist move-

ment” to be “a world movement” and pledged

“fidelity to the principles of international social-

ism” (Proceedings of National Convention of So-

cialist Party 1904, p. 307) . The 1932 Platform of

the Socialist Party of America contained a plank

for “The recognition of the Soviet Union.”

3. Have communist authorities admitted social-

ism to be included in their program?

70



Yes. The Soviet Union calls itself the “Union of

Soviet Socialist Republics.” A socialist or commu-
nist republic is, of course, as incongruous as would

be an atheist Christian. The Resolutions of the

Seventh Congress of the Communist International,

held in Moscow in 1935, expressly lauded “The final

and irrevocable victory of socialism in the land of

the Soviets.” At page 244 of “What is Commun-

ism?” by Earl Browder, he says,

In every material respect, the United States is

fully ripe for Socialism.

and throughout the book he uses “communism”

and “socialism” interchangeably.

4. Why do the occult forces use both commun-
ism and socialism?

To enable a wider range of activity. They use

somewhat different methods to reach different

types of victims. Communism (the admittedly il-

legal wing) openly advocates force, violence and

every possible means, whether legal or illegal, to

attain the objectives. Victims to whom illegal
means will appeal are very much desired by the

occult forces in preparing for armed insurrection.

The occult forces realize, however, that commun-

ism, by reason of its admittedly illegal methods, is

always in danger of being suppressed altogether,

and can operate in the open only so long as igno-

rant or disloyal persons occupy important public

offices. On the other hand, socialism (the profess-

edly legal wing) adroitly declares itself to be op-

posed to illegal means, and to be seeking results

only through legislative or parliamentary meas-

ures, and education of the people as to the need for

such measures. The occult forces find both wings

very useful. Under the guise of socialism, much

greater damage can be done, because the adepts or

71



•

'

- fK/Mi
)

emissaries spread the same deceptive poison, yet

assume an air of respectability. Their method is

that of sapping, rather than assault; of craft,

rather than force
;
of subtlety, rather than violence.

“Permeation” is their watch-word. (A Survey of

Socialism, by F. J. C. Hearnshaw, p. 298) . So in-

sidious are the methods employed that substantial

quantities of the Marxian poison are administered

in schools and colleges without even mentioning

the words “socialism” or “communism,” in addi-

tion to the great quantities administered under

such labels. A single subject is frequently utilized
most effectively for such administration, such as

history, or social science, or social philosophy, or

economics,—just as one item on a food-tray is all
that need be tampered with to administer food-

poisoning. Much less serious swindling is sternly

dealt with by the public authorities, yet our youth

are thus boldly swindled out of their priceless

heritage under the guise of “Academic Freedom.”

Due to the difference in professed methods of com-

munists and socialists, the former have been de-

scribed as “impatient socialists,” and communism

has been called “socialism in a violent hurry.”

5. How early did the occult forces recognize the

need for maintaining an organization that

would appear to be a “legal” one, in addition

to their undeniably illegal organization or or-

ganizations?

Evidently long before the Communist Manifesto

of 1848, because the preface to the same expressly

states that previous thereto

—

Socialism was, on the continent at least, “re-

spectable”; communism was the very opposite.

6. Is the communist plan to have at all times

what will appear to be a “legal” party or or-

72



ganization, in addition to their plainly illegal

organization, being maintained?

Most obviously. In a raid upon the Convention

of the Communist Party at Bridgman, Michigan,

August 22, 1922, conducted by the Michigan au-

thorities in cooperation with the Federal Author-

ities, a document of the Executive Committee of

the Communist International, was seized, giving

the following instructions and advice

:

All good possibilities of both legal and illegal

activities must be utilized by the party ener-

getically.

Under existing circumstances it is impossible

for the communist party of the United States to

be a legal party.

The development of the underground operations

can best be furthered through these very activi-

ties of its members in the ranks of the legal party.

The legal party must at all times go as far

toward the communist program as possible while

continuing a legal existence.

Communist party members must at all times

hold the positions of leadership in the legal party.
—“Reds in America,” by R. M. Whitney, pp. 252-4.

7. What accounts for the great variety of opin-

ions as to what constitutes “communism” and

“socialism,” respectively?

The adepts or emissaries of the occult forces be-

hind these two masks and devices are responsible

for these differences of opinion among victims and

prospective victims. The occult forces seek to

adapt these masks and devices, so that they can be

“all things to all men,” thereby reaching every

conceivable type of victim.

8. Please explain this in detail.

To groups disposed to force and violence, prepa-

ration for the use thereof is urged. Contra-minded

73



groups are told that force and violence are unneces-

sary, and that parliamentary measures will suffice.

Groups interested in destructiveness are frankly

told that so-called reforms through parliamentary

measures are merely deceptive and will aid and

promote the ultimate destructiveness sought. To

groups that are so shallow-minded as to believe in

a collectivistic dictatorship, but still know better

than to believe in the suppression of religion, the

hypocritical assertion is made that abolition of re-

ligion is not an essential part of the program and

will be gladly discarded. While it is difficult to con-

ceive how they can manufacture a pretense which

would tend in the slightest to “lure” Christians to

their monstrous formula, here again their effront-

ery holds them in good stead. Knowing how the

Christian loves true “Peace” and espouses the

cause of the universal brotherhood of man in obedi-

ence to the Second Precept of God, the adepts or

emissaries of the occult forces masquerade as the

champions of “Peace,” along with the infamous

pretense that Christ was a communist. Again,

when an audience appears to be too intelligent to

accept the infamous proposal to abolish all private

ownership of property, which would render human-

ity utterly helpless and dependent, these adepts or

emissaries readily modify, or re-adapt, their prom-

ises to suit the extent of gullibility of the audience,

so as to convince them that, instead of being de-

prived of all ownership, they will really receive a

larger share of this world’s goods.

It necessarily follows that the dupes of “com-

munism” and “socialism” comprise many classes,

and each class necessarily has a different idea of

what constitutes “communism” and “socialism.”

Nothing in this book is intended to reflect upon

the good faith of such dupes. Some of them may

74



resent the exposure herein made, instead of being

grateful for being awakened. If so, it will be diffi-

cut to raise them above the status of dupes.

9. What is the most accurate definition of so-

calism in view of the conduct of its promot-

ers?

That given by Prof. Ramsay Muir in The Social-

ist Case Examined, p. 3, as follows

:

Socialism is a chameleon-like creed. It changes

its colour according to its environments.

This very condition shows, of course, its habitually

deceptive and untrustworthy nature and character.

10. Has the Socialist Party of America directly

admitted having no interest in measures of

relief for humanity otherwise than as aids

in preparing to seize the whole powers of

government?

Yes. The 1904 Platform of the Socialist Party

stated:

Such measures of relief as we may be able to
force from capitalism are but a preparation of the

workers to seize the whole powers of government.

—P. 308, Proceedings of National Convention of
Socialist Party 1904.

11. Have not the communists also made the

same admission?

Yes. In Foundations of Leninism, by Joseph

Stalin (published in 1934), active communists were

instructed

:

The revolutionary will accept a reform in order

to use it as a means wherewith to link legal work

with illegal work, in order to use it as a screen

behind which his illegal activities for the revolu-

tionary preparation of the masses for the over-

throw of the bourgeoisie may be intensified.

—

p. 103.

75



A similar attitude was plainly stated in document
of the Executive Committee of the Communist In-

ternational seized in the Bridgman, Mich., raid,

August 22, 1922, active communists being thereby

instructed

:

The communist party must remember that it is

not its purpose to reform the capitalist state!

The purpose of the communists is, on the contrary,

to cure the working masses of their reformistic

illusions through bitter experience.— “Reds in
America,” by R. M. Whitney, p. 249.

12, Has the Catholic Church denounced social-

ism as well as communism?

Most emphatically. The Encyclical on The Con-

dition of Labor of May 15, 1891, by Pope Leo XIII,

contained a special section entitled Socialism Re-

jected, in the course of which the following ap-

pears :

The socialists, therefore, in setting aside the par-

ent and introducing the providence of the State,

act against natural justice, and threaten the very

existence of family life.

along with the further recital

—

that ideal equality of which so much is said
would, in reality, be the leveling down of all to

the same condition of misery and dishonor.

76



XIII

FALSE REMEDIES INSIDIOUSLY PROPOSED,

AND AIDING THE ENEMY

1. It being now quite clear that the occult forces

behind communism took a leading part in pro-

ducing the ills of society which they have the

temerity to perfidiously offer to cure, how is

it possible to avoid taking their false rem-

edies when offered from innocently-appearing

sources?

We know the various abolitions covered by the
communist formula. We also know that each and
every one of them tends to human enslavement.

Consequently, whatever is offered furthering in

the slightest degree any of such abolitions should

be emphatically rejected, and those offering same

treated as not equipped to advise or represent any

section of civilized society.

2. What about the proposal that housewives

should receive a salary, and work on an eight-

hour day?

Such inherently debasing proposal would place

wives in the category of employees
;
and necessar-

ily disrupt the whole family set-up,—an admitted
objective of the communists.

3. How about a system of governmental pater-
nalism?

It is one of the most insidious and effective

methods for bringing about a collectivistic dicta-

torship, and, consequently, it should be resented

and resisted before it gets a firm hold upon the

people.

77



4. What about an “economic-planning” dictator-

ship?

It constitutes a most insidious method for regi-

menting and enslaving humanity, and, consequent-

ly, would be a powerful instrument in the hands of

socialists and communists to bring their age-old

plot to fruition. It means a government dictator-

ship over production, and is always followed by

a like dictatorship over distribution. Private en-

terprise would be annihilated under either or

both of such dictatorships, and everybody (ex-

cept the regimenting dictators) converted into a

mere cog in governmental exploitation machinery.

The name of the American Republic might be re-

tained, but a Soviet America would result, unless

some other form of totalitarian dictatorship should

intervene. In either event, the American Repub-

lic would be destroyed.

5. How about the Government engaging in or-
dinary business in competition with private

industry?

No matter what specious claims may be ad-

vanced therefor, it should not be accepted or toler-

ated to any extent whatever. It will inevitably

bring about a collectivistic dictatorship, by elimina-

tion of private business, because private individ-

uals cannot possibly compete with the Government.

6. How about a protracted failure to balance the
budget, together with waste and extrava-

gance, and rising taxes?

Any such condition is most alarming, because it

will furnish a ready vehicle for having the bulk of

the property of loyal citizens pass to the Govern-

ment in the settlement of tax bills, and ipso facto

set up a collectivistic Government.

78



7. How about a proposal to “pack” the Supreme
Court of the United States, or to deny the

authority of that tribunal to enforce and pro-

tect the Constitution of the United States as

a legal document embodying fundamental law

(contradistinguished from a mere “layman’s

charter”)?

Any such proposal should be resented and re-

sisted as directly tending to undermine and destroy

the American Republic. Whether those making

any such proposal realize it or not, its necessary

effect would be to substitute for a Government of

laws, a Government of men uncontrolled by law.

Such un-American result would not differ from

what Lenin did in Soviet Russia, with his false

promises of freedom and economic security, pre-

tended to result from communism. Lenin’s own

definition of communism was

:

Communism is power based upon force and lim-
ited to nothing, by no kind of law and by abso-

lutely no set rule.—Vol XV ILL, Lenin’s Collected
Works, p. 361.

8. When public officials or others insist upon col-
laborating with communists, and cooperating

with them as to certain of their ideas, are

they entitled to further confidence?

Absolutely not. The brazen hypocrisy of the

communists, and the undeniable criminality of

their plot, render it impossible for any collabora-

tion with them by well-informed and right-think-

ing persons.

9. If the communists really sought a Govern-

ment structure which recognizes neither caste

nor class, would they pattern after the Con-

stitution of the United States?

79



Most assuredly. But they have a contrary pur-

pose. They want no Government which acts merely

as the balance-wheel to ensure order and justice

without distinctions of blood, caste or class. They

talk about a “Republic,” “Democracy,” and a

“Classless Society” for propaganda purposes. What
they really want and intend is a class Dictatorship,

with the Government acting as the drive-shaft and

entire works.

10. Is there any truth in the assertion made by

communist supporters that “the Federal

Constitution with its system of checks and

balances represents a deep distrust of popu-

lar rule and a triumph of the propertied

class”?

Absolutely none. Such outrageous mis-state-

ment is carried in Part IX, page 27, of so-called

Report of so-called Commission on the Social Sci-

ences, which Report has been expressly approved

by the Board of Education of the District of Co-

lumbia for reading on Methods of Teachers. Glad-

stone appraised the Constitution of the United

States as “the most wonderful work ever struck

off at a given time by the brain and purpose of

man.” The late Cardinal Gibbons paid it an equal,

if not greater, tribute. In the last article ever

written by Cardinal Gibbons, February 19, 1921,

entitled The Constitution and George Washington,

His Eminence said:

As the years go by I am more than ever con-
vinced that the Constitution of the United States

is the greatest instrument of government that

ever issued from the hand of man.

Defamers of this great document are ill-equipped

to give trustworthy and reliable advice regarding

any social order
;
and all teachers and pupils should

be protected from their deceptive influence.

80



11. Is defamation of the American Republic a

necessary part of the communist program?

Obviously. If the communists gave any recogni-

tion whatever to the undeniable and unsurpassable

merits of the American Republic, not only would

the communist campaign have to be entirely aban-

doned, but the falsity of their persistent assump-

tion and declaration, that all those opposed to com-

munism are fascists or nazists, would be apparent

to all. No one who is aware of the superlative mer-

its of the American Republic can possibly prefer

fascism or nazism, notwithstanding both are also

opposed to communism.

12. Does a Republic require a large standing

Army?

No
;
it neither requires, nor permits it. The cit-

izenry are relied upon as the chief bulwark of law,

order and defense. Either a large standing Army,

or an actual or virtual monopoly of arms in the

hands of the Government, will necessarily render

the people impotent against usurpation of power or

other tyranny. Consequently, the Federal Consti-

tution expressly provides

:

The right of the people to keep and bear arms

shall not be infringed.—Art. XI, Amendments to
U. S. Constitution.

The right is treated as already existing, and its in-

fringement protected against. Moreover, its sus-

pension is not provided for even in case of martial

law being declared, it evidently being recognized

that the greater the emergency, the greater the

necessity for the citizenry to be equipped to de-

fend the Republic against its enemies. Regulations

regarding the carrying of concealed weapons are

not prohibited.

81



13. With this constitutional guarantee unre-

pealed, can the safety of our Republic be ever

in jeopardy?

Most assuredly. The communist defiance of, and

contempt for, this constitutional guarantee is clear-

ly manifested in the Program of the Communist

International published in 1936, declaring for

—

disarming the bourgeoise and arming the proleta-

riat—p. 80.
The word “bourgeoise,” as so used, refers to the

ordinary citizen, and the word “proletariat” to

those in the communist plot. Consequently, should

traitors to our Republic (secretly representing the

communists) seize the reins of Government, the

carrying through of such Program, in violation of

our Constitution, may be expected by these trai-

tors, sometimes disguised as peace advocates, pur-

suing adroit executive and legislative efforts to dis-

arm the citizenry, always cleverly disguised as

measures to curb lawlessness. Unless given timely

warning, the law-abiding citizenry will be prone

to acquiesce in such measures because clothed with

an appearance of Governmental power and author-

ity. Meanwhile, the lawless communist hordes will

be secretly and abundantly supplied with arms and

ammunition to overthrow our Republic without en-

countering serious resistance.

14. What is the cause of the apparent indiffer-

ence on the part of the public generally re-

garding the imminent communistic menace?

Few persons, even though well equipped, take

the trouble to think things through for themselves,

if the matter concerns the public generally. Many

persons are so busily engaged in procuring the

necessities of life, for themselves and their fam-

ilies, that they have little or no time for investi-

82



gating what are considered as sociological, eco-

nomic or political affairs. Hence, they blindly de-

pend upon leaders who have in various ways gained

their confidence. Only too late, they will find

themselves deceived. The danger does not arise

merely from the name “communism”—in fact, the
occult forces behind communism freely mis-label

their poisons “Cooperative Commonwealth,” “So-

cialized Democracy,” “American,” “Christian,”

“Peace,” “Humanitarian,” “New Social Order,”

etc., in imitation of the famous Trojan Horse, to

achieve victory without warning.

15. What justification is there for the immense

campaign now going on to induce Christian-

ity to adopt all the features of communism

excepting the atheistic feature?

Absolutely none. The entire premises upon

which the campaign is predicated are false. The

pretended accomplishments for humanity in So-

viet Russia, which these campaigners say they

wish Christianity to obtain, have only a fancied

existence. Christianity is really invited to destroy

itself, and thus save the communists the trouble,

because every thinking person knows that Chris-

tianity would be a mere mockery where the other

abolitions of communism are in effect, namely, abo-

lition of family rights, individual ownership of

property, all individual rights, patriotism, etc.

When the communists secure all their abolitions ex-

cept the atheistic feature, the latter will automa-

tically install itself. The mere change of name

from communism to Christianity will have no more

effect than would the calling of an onion a rose.

83



XIV

RESTORING THE TRUE FUNCTIONING OF

THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC, AND THE
CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES UPON

WHICH IT WAS BUILT

1. Has the Constitution of the United States

ever countenanced absolute individualism or

unbounded license, contradistinguished from

individual freedom or liberty subject to law

ensuring equal protection to others?

Never. It is an elementary rule that

:

Freedom does not preclude the idea of subjec-

tion to law; indeed, it presupposes the existence

of some legislative provision, the observance of

which insures freedom to us, by securing the like

observance from others.—Bouvier’s Law Diet.

Perverted freedom becomes license and anarchy.

Anarchy has been lifting its head too long under

the mistaken guise of liberalism, tolerance, aca-

demic freedom, etc. The occult forces behind com-

munism have been leaders along such lines to per-

vert and subvert the American Republic, and the

Christian principles upon which it was built.

2. Can any stable form of government be main-

tained which permits license and incitement

to anarchy, such as the advocacy or teaching

of a doctrine for the overthrow of the gov-

ernment by force, violence or any unlawful

means?

Manifestly not. Any such advocacy or teaching

is patently illegal and anarchistic, and cannot be

defended as freedom of speech. Every govern-

ment worthy of the name should suppress any

such threatened danger in its incipiency. If a Re-

84



public or Democracy were compelled to furnish

the channels for its own destruction by waiting

until the instigated and apprehended danger be-

came certain, then its right to protect itself would

come into being simultaneously with the overthrow

of the government, an utterly absurd proposition.

Gitlow v. New York, 268 U. S. 652. Unfortunately,
so much official indifference to the protection of

the American Republic against subversive activi-

ties, has been exhibited that the false idea is held

abroad that a Republic or Democracy is inherently

incapable of surviving communistic attacks, and

must give way to some form of dictatorship.

3. Can the liberties of the people be preserved or

safeguarded if the Government may exploit

and subjugate the people through its owner-

ship, control or monopoly of the sources of

production, or private monoplies be permitted

to do so?

Absolutely not. Any monopoly in ownership or

control of the sources of production necessarily

means the death of the liberties of the people.

When the Government obtains such a monopoly, it
can become the most tyrannical of exploiters of the

people. Moreover, any Government which toler-

ates private monopolies of the sources of produc-

tion, or of ordinary business, is unworthy of pub-

lic confidence or respect. True statesmen and loyal

representatives of the people can never counte-

nance for a moment the creation or continuance

of such a condition. The sources of production

and ordinary business must be kept free from

monopoly of any kind. The power to prevent mo-

opolies in inter-state business is possessed by the

Federal Government, and by the State Govern-

ments as to intra-state business. That eminent

85



jurist, Mr. Justice Bradley, stated the fundamental

proposition tersely and powerfully

:

I hold it to be an incontrovertible proposition

of both English and American public law, that all

mere monopolies are odious and against common
right.—Ill U. S. 746, 761.

4. Has anything taken place which tends to in-

terfere with the full functioning of the Amer-

ican System of Government?

To a certain extent. In disregard of the solemn

warning given by the Father of Our Country in

his Farewell Address, political parties have, for

more than a century, been permitted to interfere

with, invade, and virtually control every activity

of the Federal and State Government, with the ex-

ception of the Judiciary, and effort is now being

made to destroy the independence of the Judiciary.

Consequently, the Republic has functioned in form

rather than substance. Selfish organized minority

interests have been able to direct and control the

destinies of the Nation. Political parties have, of

course, no possible legitimate function except to

focus attention upon particular issues in an elec-

tion campaign. The elected officials are sworn of-

ficers of all the people, and entirely independent

both of the party which supported them and the

party which opposed them.

5. Have the serious effects upon the people been

recognized by any of our Presidents?

Yes. President Cleveland, in his Fourth Annual

Message to Congress, December 3, 1888, said:

As we view the achievement of aggregated cap-

ital we discover the existence of trusts, combina-

tions, and monopolies, while the citizen is strug-

gling far in the rear or is trampled to death be-

neath an iron heel.

86



In Woodrow Wilson’s The New Freedom, published

in 1913, it is stated:

It is an intolerable thing that the government

of the Republic should have got so far out of the

hands of the people; should have been captured

by interests which are special and not general.

We know that something intervenes between
the people of the United States and the control

of their own affairs at Washington.

6. Can there be any sound system of govern-

ment which recognizes unbounded license on

the part of either capital or labor?

Absolutely not.

7. Do any of the Papal Encyclicals recognize un-

bounded license on the part of either capital

or labor?

No. The three Great Encyclicals dealing with

capital and labor, The Condition of Labor, May 15,

1891, Reconstructing the Social Order, May 15,

1931, and Atheistic Communism, May 19, 1937, all

recognize the essential duties, as well as rights, of

capital and labor, respectively.

8. What would be the result if unbounded li-

cense were permitted on the part of capital

or labor, or both?

Tyranny by one or the other, producing either

a Dictatorship or Anarchy.

9. What are the chief recognized rights of those

who labor?

(1) To freely organize; (2) to bargain collec-

tively; (3) to strike peaceably; (4) to earn, as the

result of honest labor, sufficient wages “to secure

proper sustenance for themselves and for their

families,” including “the opportunity of acquiring

a modest fortune and forestalling the plague of

87



universal pauperism”

—

Encyclical on “Atheistic

Communism,” Paragraph 52.

10. What is the greatest need in the world to-

day?

For a return to the fundamentals of Christian

Civilization. This is clearly explained in the Papal

Encyclical on Atheistic Communism:

It can surprise no one that the communistic fal-

lacy should be spreading in a world already to a

large extent de-Christianized.—Paragraph 18.

After all, the sphere of economics needs some

morality, some moral sense of responsibility, which

can find no place in a system so thoroughly ma-

terialistic as communism—Paragraph 23.
While communism impoverishes human person-

ality by inverting the terms of the relation of

man to society, to what lofty heights is man not
elevated by reason and Revelation?—Paragraph 30.

The means of saving the world of today from

the lamentable ruin into which a moral liberal-

ism has plunged us, are neither the class-struggle

nor terror, nor yet the autocratic abuse of state

power, but rather the infusion of social justice and

the sentiment of Christian love into the social-

economic order.—Paragraph 32.

It was Christianity that first affirmed the real

and universal brotherhood of all men of what-
ever race and condition—Paragraph 38.

There would be today neither socialism nor

communism if the rulers of the nations had not

scorned the teachings and maternal warnings of

the Church—Paragraph 38.

11. Have any of the Papal Encyclicals laid down

a definite technical governmental or eco-

nomic system?

Absolutely none. Some misguided persons as-

serted that the so-called “National Recovery Act”

(a system of regimentation held unconstitutional

by the Supreme Court of the United States) em-

88



bodied a definite technical system advocated in the

Papal Encyclicals; but Pope Pius XI contradicted

such misconception by saying in the course of the

Encyclical on Atheistic Communism:

The Church has never proposed a definite tech-

nical system, since this is not her field.—Para-

graph 34,

No regimentation of miscellaneous humanity can

possibly benefit those subjected to it.

12. What attention should be paid to those who

urge that nothing be done against the com-

munists in steps taken to cure the present

plight of humanity?

They should be regarded either as betrayers of

mankind or as so ignorant or indifferent as to

have no right to consideration. The present plight

of society may be likened to a community, once

free, happy and prosperous, but which has been

invaded by packs of wolves. The packs have been

allowed to rove about undisturbed, due to treach-

ery or stupidity of the community leaders, until

a virtual state of famine has been caused, and the

people are being attacked by the packs in their

homes. Obviously, nothing can be put in order

without first destroying or dissolving such packs.

13. Can any remedies be devised which do not

first deal with the occult forces behind com-

munism?

Certainly not. The “packs” must be entirely

dissolved, and not merely sent underground. Mere-

ly sending them underground accomplishes noth-

ing. They gain new strength, and come to the

surface again at an unforeseen time and place, like

the well-known “Hell-Diver” (a worthless form of

water-fowl)

.

89



14. How can the “packs” be entirely dissolved?

The “packs” are admittedly illegal, and, conse-

quently, can be effectually dissolved by the public

authorities under appropriate laws vigorously en-

forced. However, no law is self-enforcing, and the

friends of these “packs” must be entirely elimi-

nated from public office, as the very first step.

This will, obviously, require a most extensive

housecleaning, not only of all those shown to have

had evil intent but of all who have given the enemy

the slightest aid or encouragement at any time.

As hereinbefore stated, an Anti-Communist Party

will be essential to effect a real house-cleaning.

15. May individual members of these “packs”
be reformed and become good citizens after

the dissolution of the “packs”?

Most assuredly. Many of those in the “packs”

may be victims of deception or coercion, or both.

But it would hardly be safe to entrust any of

them with public office until it is conclusively

established that all of these “packs” have been en-

tirely dissolved. The leaders of the “packs” should,

of course, never again be at large in civilized so-

ciety. But after such leaders have been segre-

gated, others in the “packs” may be reformed and

become excellent citizens after their depraved

morality has been eliminated. Civilized society

should never again tolerate in its midst persons

who are steeped in guilt as leaders of such a dia-

bolical and murderous plot against humanity and

all Civilization.

16. With these evil “packs” dissolved, will so-

ciety be immediately restored to normal?

By no means. The “poisoning” of the body politic

and of humanity generally has been so serious and

90



of such long duration that it cannot be eliminated

without an extensive course of treatment. Of

course, further “poisoning” must not be tolerated.

Consequently, every proposal contained in com-

munism and socialism must be absolutely shunned,

and not accepted because of some new cloak or dis-

guise. Both the body politic and humanity gen-

erally must be restored to sound health, by a re-

turn to the fundamentals of Christian Civilization,

which have long been abandoned. In the United

States, there must be a return to the real function-

ing of our Republic, from which there has been

much departure, not accidental, but insidiously

caused.

17. Will a return to the real functioning of our

Republic involve any interference with re-

ligious freedom?

By no means. The Constitution of the United

States, which is based upon the fundamentals of

Christian Civilization, also guarantees religious

freedom.

18. With a return to the fundamentals of Chris-

tian Civilization and of our Republic, what

will be the condition of the people?

The existing unrest and chaos which have been

produced by departures from such fundamentals

will be dissipated, and the people will be restored

to freedom, happiness and prosperity. Our Repub-

lic will then resume its functioning “to promote the

general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty

to ourselves and our posterity.”

19. How can such functioning be continuously
maintained?

Only through constant and effective vigilance on

91



the part of a public-spirited, moral-minded, and

liberty-loving citizenship. Each generation must

know and respect the profound wisdom of Byron:

A thousand years scarce serve to form a state;
an hour may lay it in the dust.

ETERNAL VIGILANCE IS THE PRICE OF
LIBERTY!

“Let there be no change by usurpation.”— GEORGE
WASHINGTON, IN HIS FAREWELL ADDRESS.
