ws ‘The State, under which private property, toctuding the church, the home, and he press is sanctioned; the family, which ts the bulwark of individuatism, and ‘eligion, which prescribes a system of ethica incompatible with the principles ff Marxism. The aims of communtsm might be best explained by the Communists them- jelves. According to the Coramuntst Man! festo, the following are among the admitted tims of the Marxians everywhere and including those in the United States, Page 29, chapter 2 (Communist Manifeste} : “The immediate aim of the Com nunists is—the formation of the proletariat into a class, overthrow of the sourgeois” and “conquest of political power br the proletariat. * * * Page 30: “The theory of the Communists may be summed up in a single sen- tence: Abolition of private property * * *,” and the— Page 34: “Abolition of the family." Even the most tadical flare up at this infamous proposii of ihe Communist. Mt says gp. 30}: “On what foundation Is the present family based? On capital, on private gain. The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when {ts complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capitalism.” Page 30: “The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest by degrees, all capital from the bourgeoise, to centralize instruments of production in the bands of the State, i. e., of the proletariat, “In most advanced countries the following will be pretty generally applicable: Abolition of property in Iand * * *, abolition of all rights of Inbert- tance * * *, confiscation of the property of all immigrants ond rebels * * ¢, contratization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and exctusive monopoly.” Of course the church is in for it too, for }t says that “religion is the opiate” that the capitalist administer the working class nnd that it must go with the “canitalist’ system of which the Marxian’ claim it is a part. Now, in another document, this by Lean, whe fathered the Communtst Maul- festo into action in the present-day world, he shys that after the above is ac- complished the “State will he abolished.” Meaning, of course. that after every- thing has been centratized into the hands of the State, that the State as such will be abolished and in its place will come the dictatorship of the proletariat, which he says will have to adopt suppressive mets to protect the dictatorship from counterrevolutionists, meaning aii who disserit. Mr. Browder and other revolutionaries give much lip service publicly, te the suggestion that they are all out to “snve democracy,” they are parftieular not to state, however, that they are out te “save our Republic.” But in their instruc- lions to revolutionaries in the schoola of training in our country, Ane of thelr jessone taken from The State and Revolution by Lenin, says: “Fhe more de- veloped democracy is, the nearer at hand is the dancer of a program of civil war {nu connection with any profound political divergence.” That statement appears to be in keeping with the stafemcnt of Madison in the Constitutional Coarention in which statement he tells of leading the fight against the erention of a demorracy ‘nstead of a republic as was finnily created vader our Constitution. He warned that a democracy cole subject our people to “external and internal dangers” through factions of organized minorities and that 9 proper interpretation of the Constitution nas edopted and which created the Republic, could guard the people against such dangers, It may be pertinent then to show in the course of my testimony how the revo- lutionaries are trring to force the Republic toward a democracy of the “more developed” type referred to by their leader (Lenin), which he says wonld lead to civil war Let us consider then Earl Browder’s analrsia of the situation In the United States at present. That is what he says briefly concerning present conditions in the United States (tnken from What Is Communism, by Hari Browder, general secretary of the Commmnist Party): “In America most of our difficulties jie precisely In the acnievernen: of power for the working class. in the cstabtishment of the soviet goverument. After that bas been accomplished, the American capitalists will have uo great powerful naliies frem sbrond to help them continue the struggle. It wiil already be clear that world capitalism bas recelved its death blow. The sevict government at America will take over a society already technically prepasted for communism. Where in Russia it was necessary ta go through the prolonged pertod of war communism, the N. B.

In Russia, Lenin, said, several years after 1917, “The Soviet power, plus electrification, equais communism. In Americn the electrification already exists, so we can shorten Lenin's formutin.

We have to point to mo other source as proof, than present-day happenings in Italy, Germany. and Austria.

SUMMARY We have shown that "60" persons (central committee of the Communist Party of the United States} absolutely contro! and role the Communist movements in ! the United States. We have shown likewise that “60” (executive committee, Communist International) control the world Cominunist movement which includes the section in the United States. We have shown that In the Communist Party and its fronts the Communists have a membership and following of over 6,500,000 which we estimated for all un-American movements in the United States, but we made our estimate low to provide for duplication of which there are many. We have shown by submitting financial reports of some of the larger organiza- lens and by showing the wide propaganda and organizational activities that it is easily estimated that over $10,000,000 a year is spent or collected fer un-Amert ean activities in the United States. We have shown that most cof the un-American campaigns are among foreign- bern and under foreign dictation and encouragement. We have shown that over 80 internationais—and we could have eularged that— cont rok the activities of many national branches of un-American actions in the nited Statos We have shown that the “reds” use a member of “Wall Street bankers” families in their efforts in the United States while parading before the workers that “Wall Street” bankers control America, We have shown that in the face of Communists’ campaign against the American press as a “capitalistic menopely” that the Conmnunist press is the world’s Diggest monopolity and trust. tone have proven that the Commmnists claim an 800,000 following In New York alorie, We have proven in every respect our opening statement to this committee. We charge that communism, socialism. pacifism, atheism, and anarchism are of the same school of thought and purpose and that feseism and nazi-ism are but
