Oh! May sits crowned with hawthorne flower, And is love's month, theY saY; And love's the frrtit that is ripened best, By ladies' eyes in May.

Some wise wag is reported to have remarked that "Communism would be much more attractive if it were not for those unattractive Communists."

But I can't go for that. Communism would be unattractive if the Commies were the most personable people on earth. A Communist, in my book, is simply a Russian agent, regardless of what position he holds, or what he claims forhimself
* +,r x I *
A Communist is a Russian agent and a Fifth Columnist, anywhere you find him. He is a danger to the safety of any country you find him in, outside of Russia. There is no room in this land for aily man or woman professing Communism. We must throw them out, or they will throw us out. Let us do the starting.
Communism is a large O*, "r,n. crime problem in this and every other country. Its hostility to religion and to religious teaching destroys morality. By its infiltration into our schools and colleges, it poisons education. By its studied disloyalty to everything we stand for in America, it threateirs our American way. Why temporize with a thing that is an unholy cross between a pestilence and a famine?
There is a saying going ihe rounds concerning the territory that is now occupied in Europe by ou,rselves, the British, and Russia. They iay that the "British have the industry; the Russians have the agriculture; and the Americans have the sceneri."
The firm of Warner & Swasey, makers of tools in Clevetand, Ohio, recently ran an advertisement that was truly thought provoking. It said I "If Communism and Socialism are so wonderful (as many people would have you believe) then why do the largest and most experienced Communistic country in the world (Russia) and the largest Socialistic country in the world (England) have to come to this capitalistic country to borrow money? America is the only major country where people have been able to produce enough for their own wants and have a surplus. The countries with the 'more abundant life' want and seem to need that surplus. Doesn't it look'as though this capitalism is something so good we had better keep it? If we think so, we had better act like it, for there are things going on here that will (and are intended to) kill capitalism, AND THERE WON'T BE ANY COUNTRY WE CAN BORROW FROM."

Might be a good idea to read that paragraph over again' Inside and outside this country there are terrific forces at work every. minute of every hour of every day that would utterly destroy this capitalistic system of ours. For indeed, freedom is divided into two equal parts-to have and to hold. And the man of good standing who pooh-poohs the thcught of internal danger threatening us today, IS THE BEST FRIEND THE COMMUNIST MOVEMENT HAS. He doesn't realize it, of course, but when he tries to talk down the danger in the dark clouds around us today, he is really making a fine little Fifth Column all by himself. For, as Lincoln said, if this nation ever dies it will die from wlthin. And the most dangerous citizen is the respected man who refuses to see the danger, and tries to keep his neighbor from seeing it.
Lest you may have ,.rj"aal",l.", .."u.r, let me refresh your memory as to some of the agreements entered into by Russia when she signed the San Francisco charter; and compare these high promises with her present system of world-rvorrying and pledge-breaking. They are: "To reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights in the equal r;ghts of men and women, of nations large and small. To develop friendly relations among nations, based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples. To refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity,or political independence of any state"'
The Socialistic government of England is now going about the business of nationalizing the nation, its industries, financial operations, etc. The Church of England is probably shaking in its shoes. For it is big business, and in a big way. It has an annual income of thirteen million dollars. The head of the Church, the Archbishop of Canterbury, draws a salary of $75,000 a year, and has forty-three bishops under him who get from ten to fifty thousand dollars a year. Those Socialist boys must be licking their chops when they think of it. ***
