Rooting Out the Reds
r The shots from the I. W. W. Headquarters in Centralia, Wash
ington, which killed four veterans of the World War and wound
ed others in an Armistice Day parade, gives dramatic emphasis
to the fact that a year after Germany's open war on civilization
was defeated, we are still being attacked by sinister forces of
revolution and anarchy which Germany, many believe, turned
loose upon the world by way of Russia. That the American
public is rapidly losing patience with the organized and persist
ent efforts of foreign theorists to destroy American institutions
is evidenced in many directions. Not only is the Department of
Justice rounding up suspects in every part of the country but
there are pending in Congress fifty-two bills which are designed
to give the Government all the authority needed to deal with
the Bolshevik, anarchist and other anti-American organizations.
A sample of the teachings brought to light by the Government's
raids is the manifesto of the Federation of Unions of Russian
Workers of the United States and Canada. It advocates among
other things: Capture of all products and means of production;
liberation of all political prisoners; the blowing up of all haf
racks; the murder of law-enforcing officials; the burning of Pub
lic records; destruction of fences and all property lines;^ine de
struction of all instruments of indebtedness.
Thoughtful men and women who have the future welfare
of our country at heart will read with the deepest interest the
article in this week's LITERARY DIGEST, dated November
22nd. It shows what steps the Government has taken to suppress
violent outbreaks, suggestions for the punishment of those ar
rested, and a clear explanation revealed by captured documents
of just what the un-American forces of violence are attempting
to accomplish.
