The communists stand for the substitution of the soviet form of government for the one e 'now have and propose to accomplish this change through a revolution, with & class dictatorship as their ul- timate aim instead of a democracy. To pretend that the communists can work with the progressives who be- iieve in democracy is deliberately to deceive the public. The communists are antagonistic to the progressive cause and their only purpose in join- ing such a movement is to disrupt it. Enemeles of Progress “Not only are the communists the moral enemies of the progressive movement and democratic ideals, but, under the cloak of such extremists, the reactionary interests find the hest opportunity to plant their spies and provocatory agents for the purpose of confusing and destroying true pro- gressive movements, “Ihave devoted many years of my iife to an effort to selve the problems which confront the American people by the ballot and not by force.
