...fellow citizens who are being hit where it hurts them most. For years they approved a dishonest tax, and they deserve all they get. Unscrupulous politicians have always understood that they could depend upon the votes of those who are moved by "envy, malice and all uncharitableness." The Marxian concept of graduated income and inheritance taxes was made to order for them . . . The Communist Manifesto advocated ten measures which should be adopted in order to bring about a dictatorship of the proletariat. Two of these measures were: "A heavy progressive or graduated income tax," and "Abolition of all right...
Ironically enough, Mr. Flynn uses the Marxian devil theory of history to make his point. Because the Communists won out in China he assumes that someone in Washington must be guilty of conspiracy and treason. Franklin D. Roosevelt becomes Devil Number One and is pictured as both a raging-power-crazy-world-dictator and a senile piece of flotsam at the same time. Devil Number Two includes the N.Y. Times, Herald Tribune, Harpers, Atlantic Monthly, and Saturday Evening Post and assorted "Internationalists." Mr. Flynn really believes that these Devils drugged the American Mind into unconsciousness while they wrapped up Asia...
...graduate school group invited as a guest speaker Dr. Harold Rugg, emeritus professor of Columbia University's Teachers College, whose left-of-cen-ter textbooks have long been stirring a storm in U.S. public schools.

[Such an action] leaves no basis for the suggestion implicit in your report that the real aim of the Federation is to "promote Karl Marx." The Federation's only objective is to promote Jesus Christ.

...Bureau's most exasperating job is digesting Communist newspapers, "literature" and broadcasts, with their wearisome load of Marxian cliches. Even the fine print must be studied, for it often tells the story which the headlines are designed to hide. For instance, Neville read a maze of Marxian dialectic about the Reds' wonderful social security system ("second only to Soviet Russia's") before he found the catch: the scheme applied only to an insignificant number of workers and even for them it would be delayed...
