the karl marx socialists the frankfurter radicals communists and anarchists the tugwell bolsheviks and the revolutionists which constitute the bulk of his following 1 I have simply said and shown that he does receive the support of these enemies of the american system of government and that he has done his best to deserve the support of all such disturbing and destructive elements F P OUR chinese
