REVOLUTION IN AMERICA? Yesterday's issue of the Observer featured a long news article describing the discovery of a widespread plot to ruin the banks of large cities, destroy the faith of the people in our financial system, and open the way for a great revolu tion. . . The ring leader of this dastardly scheme has not been found, but there is every reason to believe, and no reason to doubt, that the Communists, or Reds, are behind the big whispering campaign which police have finally uncovered. ; The organization of the Reconstruction Finance corpora tion had brought about a decided reduction in the rate ot bank closings in the United States, and it was with con siderable surprise, therefore, that well-informed personi read the news of recent runs on several great Chicago banks which are among the strongest financial institutions in the spauiding have an seen brief service rnnntrv i011 th commission.

J'OKTLANU CASH THEY PASS IN KEYIEVY The resignation of Leslie Scott, for mer chairman of the state highway commission, brings to mind that sev eral loyal citizens of Oregon have passed "In review" on that Job. H. B. Van Duzer, J. C. Ainsworth and Leslie Scott, all within the past. two years have seen service aa heu of the highway commission and have resigned. It la the general opinion, whether correct or not, that these men left the highway work not be cause they were tired of serving the state but because they were so har- rasHCd and bothered and dictated to that they chose to resign rather than stand it.

Among the things that Communism teaches are hatred of God and all forms of religion ; destruction of all homes and temily life; confiscation of all private property including banks and industries; class consciousness and class hatred; complete social equality and intermarriage of all races; the overthrow by violent revolution of the government of the Lnited States; the destruction of our public schools and other institutions of learning, substituting a system of teaching reading, writing, and communism; mutiny and dis obedience in the army and navy, and sabotage of industry and transportation systems in time of war. In fact there is hardly a single phase of our present day civilization which the Communist would not wipe out. The proof of these statements does not rest upon the word of any individual, but upon official statements and docu ments of the Communist party itself. They openly assert their radical views in their many Communist publications. Their "Manifesto", a book distributed bv all their organiza tions, contains such statements as these: . "In this sense the theory of the Communists may be sum med up in a single sentence : 'Abolition of private property'." "Abolition of the family our educational system nation al ljoundaries, and all rights of inheritance." "In short, the Commun lsts PVPtTuhprn ctinivi4 nifi lutionary movement against the existing social and political! order of things." Ihere are, besides, eternal truths .such as Freedom, Justice, etc., that are common to all states of societv, but Communism abolishes eternal truths; it axlishes ai'l reli gion and all morality; instead of constitutinff them on a new basis it therefore acts in contradiction to all past experi ence. 1 If the American people will only slop and realize that there are nearly a million of these Communists in the tinted States, continually battering at the foundations of our homes, schools, churches, army and navy, patriotic societies, fraternal organizations, lalx.r unions, and our entire social, political, and economic svstem, thev will not listen to the unfounded minors started bv clever Communist propagandists, but will demand actual" facts !
