COMMUNISM.
SPREAD OF PROPAGANDA. CONDITION IN UNITED STATES. A serious warning was issued by the American National Security League at the end of 1923 against the spread of Bolshevistic propaganda in the United States, the effects of which are “much more serious than people realise.” The latest, discovery of the league is that red agents are spreading a net to catch young boys and girl.s, and to inculcate in their unformed minds Communistic theories. The officials of the organisation point to the case of Leo Granoff Uyks, the 11-year-old "Boy Trotsky,” who was arrested recently and charged with possessing literature of "marked anarchistic tendencies’/ Granoff admitted organising a Soviet band and leading his playmates, singing the Internationale. The Security League deplores the fact that Americans regarded the incident as a joke, and warns young boys and giris throughout the country against being influenced by Red doctrines, stating that their minds are being poisoned and excited by ideas of free love and free thinking. In later years such children develop into half-insane, fanatical assassins and bomb-throwers.
