This movement. guided and directed from abroad. international in its character. claiming the protection of our institutions and at the same time hating them. and trying to destroy them. should be exposed for the alien. unAmerican movement that it is. Communists are using a new line of defense by branding those who attack their activities or who make speeches along American lines as Fascists. The passage of legislation making it a crime to willfully and knowingly advocate the overthrow of government by force and violence. and the strengthening of the deportation laws relating to alien Communists will. from a legislative angle. meet their efforts. No American fears such legislation. Such legislation does not affect the right of anyone to advocate any change that they believe in. provided they do so within the law.
