The success of communism in the world today is due to the failure of democracy to live up to the noble ideals and principles inherent in its system.

Under Communism, the individual soul is shackled by the chains of conformity; his spirit is bound by the manacles of party allegiance. He is stripped of both conscience and reason.

We must with positive action seek to remove those conditions of poverty, insecurity, and injustice, which are the fertile soil in which the seed of communism grows and develops.

We must not engage in a negative anticommunism, but rather in a positive thrust for democracy, realizing that our greatest defense against communism is to take offensive action in behalf of justice.

Communism is not love. Communism is a hammer which we use to crush the enemy.

War is not the answer. Communism will never be defeated by the use of atomic bombs or nuclear weapons.
