Literary HCOMMUNISM AND GOVERNMENT Forty years ago, Communism was just a plot in the minds of very few people. Today, Communism is a world force, governing millions of the human race, and threatening to govern all of it. Our government is under attack and the enemy is Communism. If Communism were to win, there would be no United States Constitution, Supreme Court, President or Congress. The American Republic would be wiped out, and in its place there would be a system with which freedom could not live. The secret of Communism's success is its carelessness and indifference of other people. Communism is a terrible international organization of spies, wreckers of civilization, and destroyers of nations. It is directed and managed as a world army from the city of Moscow, Russia. Communists in every country are strictly dis- ciplined and closely organized Russian agents. They overturn governments and destroy nations, NOT through their own power, but through the theft of others' power. They get this power by filtering into key spots of control while the majority in any country still thinks Communism is just a crackpot idea and Communists are just another political pressure group. If the Communists should win, here's what would happen: The Constitution would go, the free American Republic would be dead, there would be no Supreme Court and no Congress. We would not have a President as we have today, and the State, County, and City Governments would be abolished. The government would be controlled by one man, the top U. S. Communist. He would take the Presidentis' place, and Congress, the Supreme Court, and everything else would be combined. Even HE would only be an office-boy for a man in Moscow- Stalin . If the Communists take over, our country would be known as Soviet America and our symbol of freedom, the Stars and Stripes, would be replaced by the Red Flag of Russia. Communism is everywhere in the U. S. A. It is mixed with Religion, Educa- tion, Labor, and Government. No Communist, no matter how many votes he should secure in a national election, could, even if he would, become President of the present government. When a Communist heads the government of the United States-and that day might come, unless immediate and positive action is taken -the government will not be a capitalistic government, but rather a Soviet gov- ernment. Behind this government will stand the Red Army to enforce the dictator- ship of the proletariat. Itis up to the people of the United States of America to force every Communist out of power, and wipe Communism from the face of the earth by-Detection, Exposure, and Prosecution!!
