will continue to do everything
posible, by whatever methods, to
hamper domestic peace and pros
perity. They seek to set worker
against employer, to create cost
ly strikes and walkouts that cost
the American public and workers
billions of dollars.
The Communists did these things
during the recent war. No good
may be expected from them, either
in time of war of peace. As good
American citizens we must study
their tactics, so that when we see
the fruits of Communistic skul
duggery we can identify the tree
from whence it came. As Com
munist tactics and ideas are made
clear, everyone of us will have
more appreciation for our own
way of life.
