+ abner rend with acts or stetementa designed to effect the overthrow
| of cur government but only with the purpose “to use speech or
SL neuispapers in the future to teach end adrocate the forcible
_ overthroy of the government.” Regardless of the fact that such
en cpinion is futile hairesplitting in view of the avowed purpose
ey of international Comauniam to rule the world, if seems that both
“Iiverals" end anti-~Commnists have missed the easentieal point in
! "4. gontroversy. .
The main point is not that the Conmunists would use force, if
Nacavgary, to overthrow our government. Forofble overthrow of a
eciciment is not in iteelf always a crime. The point is that
2 Ty the Communists would subvert our constitutional form of government
| [ | in any expedient way~- by force, by non-violent infiltration, or
7 c :neivably by being openly and honestly elected to office if that
were possible. The dissolution of our form of rovernnent and the
