dangers to our democracy comes from the

the shoulders of agents who seek to un-
dermine our form of government and to
destroy our way of life.

spreading the vilest kind of anti-Jewish
propaganda. His latest outbursts, which

Americans he stands condemned as an
enemy of democracy, as an anti-Semite
and as an ally of Nazi-Fascist forces.
