M® TRUMAN has discovered
all of a sudden that the
Communists of the world are
dangerous people,
are.
But why is it the Communists
are more dangerous in Greece
and Turkey th n they are in
Washington, D C.?
Here he come to Congress and
asks approxim: .ely half a bil-
jion dollars to start an antl-
Communist | program abroad
that says to Russia plain as day,
“If you want & WAT, we're
teady.”
Yet right now, today, this very
Sunday, there are on the pay
roll of the taxpayers of the
United States Communists who
are for Russia first. and have
becn ever since Mr. Truman
came to Washington & fresh-
man Senator from Missouri,
Is FACT they were in Wash-
ington long before him.
They came here his
nredecessor in the presidency
and laughed at Roosevelt #8
“the Kerensky of our revolu-
tion.”
They demonstrated
power in the Roosevelt admin-
yetration Tight at the start.

He came to
sec what the brand new
| was ilke. He didn’t come as &
pay-roll patriot but as a plain
' patriot, wanting to find out
_ what kind of people had riscn
to power.
That crack about Roosevelt

American revolution wasn't the

wuer he found out was that
the Communists and their
fellow travelers had at last,
with Roosevelt, got themselves
into places of power and im-
po; tance in our Government. Bo

MEANWHILE. the Commtu-
nists climbed aboard th
taxpayers’ shoulders. They
came in via the NYA, the NRA,
the PWA, end the WPA, the
ccc, the SEC, the FHA, and all
the other early alphabetical
trojan horses, They have never
left.
For when the war came on
they simply shifted over to the
OWI, the OSS, the OPA, and
so forth. They put the Presi-
dent's wife to work for them.
They knocked down the barriers
then even in the War and Navy
departments. Communists be-
came officers in our armed
forces. And in time they showed
their power by fomenting riots,
rebellions and mutiny in our
forces abroad. Hus it been for-
gotten already how United
States soldiers barely & ycar and
a half ago gathered on the front
steps of the U. S. Army head-
quarters in Frankfurt, Ger-
roany, and booed the command:
ing general, Joseph T. McNar-
ney? All in plain sight of the
conquered Germans.
HAT, eltizens, is a thing to
think about if you wonder
whether Communists have ever
got into the Government of the
United States in @ significant
and serious way.
Well, and when Oss. OPA,
etc., began to fade, what hap
pened to our Communists on the
Government pay roll?
Gen. George C. Marshall, See-
retary of State, less than three
weeks S00. admitted to a ¢om-
mittee of Congress that thr rep-
ulation of the once great U.S.
