replied in full agreement that:
"Complacency about commu
nism is truly one of America's
most serious problems today. The
citizen can do much to fight com
munism.
"First of all, he should inform
himself about the true meaning of
communism. He must realize that
communism is an evil, intent on
enslaving the world. It is dicta
torial in nature and seeks to
destroy individual liberties."
Hoover had special warning,
evidently directed at those intel
lectuals who bclivc they sec some
thing good in communism and end
up swallowing the whole party
line, including the hook. It was
this:
Never cun we compromise
with communism. To regard conv
munism as a 'temporary good' or
a 'new way to solve problems' is
to invite disaster. The citizens
must, be constantly alert. The
Communists operate under many
guises and fronts. They constantly
are seeking to deceive and hood
wink the unsuspecting. At an
times they are endeavoring to in
filtrato labor organizations, busic
industries, civic, religious, rater
mil and social groups. Their pur
poso is. to ... capture positions
which control organizations.
Rulit Of Corfibat
More specifically, Hoover said
any citizen can combat commu
nism by following some simple
pastc-in-your-hut rules: .
Report to the FBI all in
formation about espionage, subo-
tago or subversive activities.
Alert yourself ; learn the
true nature and tactics of com
munism. Make civic programs for
social improvement your business.
Exercise your right to vote;
elect representatives of integrity.
Respect human dignity,
communism and individual rights
cannot coexist.
Inform yourself; know your
country, its history, traditions and
heritage.
Combat public apathy to
ward communism; indifference
can be fatal when national sur
vival is at stake.
Attack bigotry and preju
dice wherever they appear; jus
tice for all is the bulwark of
democracy.
What is needed, Hoover said,
aro citizens ready to do their
share for America."
