to America,8 Mr. Boblitt stated, cc
"I hoard the low muttering growl *
of American Communism, the* I. ,

traveled from one part of the .
country to another I have come J8
to believe that it constitutes a M

He pointed out that most of the m
leaders of these radical elements tr
are of foreign birth, and said, "If
a foreigner is here to. tear down ci

In conclusion Mr. Boblltt made re
in impassioned plea for much _
stronger support of the true of
American principles, and asked d
hat every true American man and
voman strive to keep in touch ijj
vith the danger ; of^Bolshevism,
