Many patriots are wondering why our government allow these foes to go uncurbed. We must realize it is not the fault of the government. This government derives its just power from the people, and unless we are laggards and wish to shift our power land responsibility to a dictator it is our duty with the cooperation of the press,to at once appeal to congress for the enactment of a law or an amendment to the constitution that will declare all foreign isms, such as Communism, Fascism, Nazism, or any ism of like nature that in the future might develop, foes of the government. When foreign isms are declared foes of the government and a law is established to curtail them, foreign agents can be suppressed. and Americans who accept or support these subversive doctrines become offenders and thereby forfeit their liberty. Only in this manner can foreign propagiandist be suppressed without infringing upon the right of assembly, freedom of speech and of the press. Surely when our colonial fathers instituted this great free government, they believed we would be capable of recognizing a foe whatever ibe its form, ahd would provide the necessary safeguards for its security and our liberty. Daniel Webster said: “I shall exert every faculty I posses in aiding to prevent the Constitution from being nullified, or impaired, and, even though I should see it fall, I will still, with a voice feeble, perhaps, but earnest.as. ever issued from human lips, and with. fidelity 4nd zeal which nothing shall extinguish, call on the PEOPLE to come ‘to its rescue,.”’ Are we less patriotic?
