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

destroy existing governments, and to establish dictatorships
of the proletariat, similar to that now in power in Russia.
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
