Show Godless Communists Teach Atheism in Schools; Continue Strategy Aimed at Assimilation of U S Dy PARLEY JENSEN Since the Communists came into power in Russia 41 years ago, they hnve conquered one-fourth of all the world's land surface. sur-face. They have established Communist regimes in 17 nations. One-third of all the people on earth are under their direct con- (' - - trcl. This began in 1917 when Lenin got out of a sealed railroad car in St. Petersburg to be welcomed by a few disorganized revolutionaries. revolution-aries. Today, Communism stands on the brink of fulfillment of the most far-reaching dreams of Marx, of Engles, and of Lenin himself. To- Parlcy Jensen day there remains only one stumbling block to a world drawn to the measure of Red China as it is today. Fortunately for the human race this stumbling block the United States of America stands firm and srtong as it has stood for 175 years. Were it not for this, the world might well be on the verge of accepting the Red Vision and capitulating to the hopeless future of a Communist world. , : I "Yes, they said, Communists are I atheists. 'Religion,' in their opin- j ion, 'is a weapon or an instrument j for the spiritual enslavement of the working people.' "No, they do not 'persecute the i church or religion.'

The present direction of their intense activity is to weaken our will to resist; to delude us into apathetic unconcern; to infiltrate our government, our schools and our culture, while they take over the rest of the non-Communist world. This we as Americans cannot let happen. We must counteract their efforts with much greater effort and resourcefulness than we have ever done before if we are to avert a catastrophe. We of The American Legion are dedicated to winning this war, therefore we must speak up and let our leaders know that the people demand and will accept nothing less than all-out, unceasing effort against this Godless monster which seeks to conquer or destroy us. To prove the contention that they are a Godless people, let me quote from Freedoms Facts of February, 1959: "Some curious Americans one in St. Petersburg, Fla., and one in Milwaukee, Wise, recently wrote Radio Moscow asking about Communist Com-munist views on atheism and religion. re-ligion.
