There are three possible methods by which the communists might take us over. One would be through a sufficient amount of infiltration and propaganda, to disguise communism as just another political party.

The second method would be by fomenting internal civil war in this country, and aiding the communists' side in that war with all necessary military might.

The third method would be by a slow insidious infiltration resulting in a take over without the American people realizing it.

The Soviets would not attempt military conquest of so powerful and so extensive a country as the United States without availing themselves of a sufficiently strong fifth column in our midst, a fifth column which would provide the sabotage, the false leadership, and the sudden seizures of power and of means of communication, needed to convert the struggle, from the very beginning, into a civil war rather than clear-cut war with an external enemy.

We can foresee a possibility of the Kremlin taking this gamble in time. In fact, it is clear that the communists long ago made plans to have this method available, in whole or in part, to whatever extent it might be useful. The trouble in our southern states has been fomented almost entirely by the communists for this purpose. It has been their plan, gradually carried out over a long period with meticulous cunning, to stir up such bitterness between the whites and blacks in the South that small flames of civil disorder would inevitably result. They could then fan and coalesce these little flames into one great conflagration of civil war, in time, if the need arose.

The whole slogan of "civil rights" as used to make trouble in the South today, is an exact parallel to the slogan of "Agrarian reform" which they used in China. The pending "civil rights" legislation is, I am convinced, about 10% civil rights and about 90% a further extension of socialistic Federal Controls. It is part of the pattern for the Communist take over of America. "The whole civil rights" program and slogan in America today is just as phony as were the "Agrarian reform" program and slogan of the communists in China 20 years ago.

But the third method is far more in accordance with Lenin's long-range strategy. It is one which they are clearly relying on most heavily. And this is taking us over by a process so gradual and insidious that Soviet rule is slipped over so far on the American people, before they ever realize it is happening, that they can no longer resist the communist conspiracy as free citizens, but can resist the communist tyranny only by themselves becoming conspirators against established government. The process in that direction is going on right now, gradually but surely and with ever-increasing spread and speed.
