Title A name given to the resource The Bill Smiths The Average Citizens Groiup Hattiesburg, MIssissippi November 15, 1946 Letter No. 18 Loyal Americans must stand up and be counted To fellow members of the Bill Smith Family: The above outlined quotation contains the word spoken by Jay. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI, at the annual convention of the American Legion on September 30, 1946. After highly praising the American legion for its great force for good and the fact that it is living testimony to the Spirit of America Mr. Hoover stated today there is a greater need than ever before for the American Legion and it stabilizing force your help is needed now more than during the war years if the battle for a safe and secure America is to be one. Mr. Hoover was referring to communism as our nations number one growing Minnis. He stated that communism has penetrated some of our churches schools colleges and fraternal orders not with the approval of the rank and file but in spite of them. Mr. Hoover stated that the communist and their so-called progressive and liberal allies have maneuver themselves into positions were a few communist control the destiny of hundreds who are either willing to be led or have been duped into obeying the dictates of others. Continuing, Mr. Hoover said in some unions the rank-and-file find themselves between a communist pincher‘s manipulated by a few leaders who have hoodwinked and browbeaten them into a state of submission communist labor leaders have sparred for time in there labor deliberations to refer matters of policy to communist party headquarters for clearance. In closing his address director Hoover urged all freedom loving Americans to be steadfast for America work and live for America and to eternally be on guard to defend our Constitution and our way of life. No one can deny that the fact that Mr. J Edgar Hoover is one of those who understands communist and their motives and program. His play for all freedom loving Americans to stand up and be counted among those who will make whatever sacrifices are necessary to keep America American should receive the prayer full intelligent and courageous response of all the oil Americans. Much of the present day attack upon the profit motive the individual competitive enterprise system and the American way of life under constitutional government is by people who are advocating a Marxian philosophy in the name of Christianity. Many prominent church leaders some of whom presume to speak for 27 million protestant church members are against the capitalistic system and for economic system that is socialistic and collectivistic. There is a little difference between communism and collectivism. Planned and managed economy is a road to the left towards national Socialism and collectivism. On October 16, 1946 church leaders of the protestant Catholic and Jewish faith issued a statement spoken of as a declaration on economic justice. These church leaders are in favor of an organized and democratic partnership for the general welfare rather than a competitive struggle for individual and group advantage. These church leaders state that organize cooperation of the functional economic groups among themselves and with the government must be substituted for the rule of the competition.

Title A name given to the resource Signers of the declaration on economic justice has said the cooperative spirit must supplant competitive struggle the objective of social endeavor must shift from profit making to personality making. These church leaders are attacking the capitalistic system the free enterprise system and the American way of life under our constitution which director Hoover has urged all freedom loving Americans to guard and defend. No one can successfully to it deny the fact that collectivists and those believing in socialism and communism are successfully winning religious leaders to their Marxian theories which include an effort to win the church of the living God from its task of saving men souls through the blessings of God‘s Holy Spirit to the task of creating new political and economic systems which are favorable to the communists and incompatible with all of the Christian religion or constitutional government. On November 5 many millions of Americans can stand up and work counted and by that act they spoke in Fattic Lee against planned and managed economy which is to be found in such legislation as O. P. A. Socialized medicine government guaranteed full employment minimum wage legislation F. E. P. C. Legislation paternalistic housing legislation and all types of legislation that nourish bureaucratic centralized government and make the federal government master instead of servant of the people. The recent election was a clear and positive mandate from we the people of the United States back to the constitution to their representatives regardless of party affiliations. It was a title wave of protest against all forms of planned and managed economy national so socialism socialism collectivism and against what Mr. Hoover has referred to as our nations number one growing Minnis communism it was a timely warning to new dealers democrats Republicans to labor and industrial leaders to church school and college groups and to all other groups that may be knowingly or unknowingly advocating planned and managed economy and all kinds of foreign ideologies which are incompatible with the individual competitive enterprise system and constitutional government. The mandate demanded the end of all war time controls the end of governmental confusion waste and extravagance a reduction of billions of dollars in government expenses a balanced budget yearly reduction of the government debt abolition of incentive destroying taxation and labor legislation that will not exempt labor unions from responsibilities liabilities and conspiracies in restraint of trade. If the representatives of where people fail to carry out the mandate so clearly expressed on November 5, 1946 then we the people will speak in no uncertain terms again and their voice will be heard not later than 1948. The mandate has caused many politicians to think and some have exclaimed who is afraid of the big bad wolf and his pack P. A. C.! It is important that all freedom loving Americans talk to a right to their senators and congressmen prior to their assuming their tremendous responsibilities beginning January 3, 1947.

Title A name given to the resource A letter with the Bill Smith next sentence the American citizens group Hattiesburg, Mississippi April 8, 1946 letter number 15 help! Help keep America American offices in every home in every city town, village, hamlet and farm. To the right is our motto. Put first things first. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. To fellow members of the Bill Smith family: Every freedom-loving American should be keenly interested in helping to reestablish and preserve the American way of life as bequeathed to us by our founding fathers and as set forth in the declaration of independence and our constitution with its bill of rights. Our Armed Forces fought and gave their lives for the preservation of individual freedom - - the one thing which will keep America American. Individual freedom is gradually slipping away from us. We must not lose it in some form or of national socialism. If we can continue much longer to allow a bureaucratic government to destroy economic freedom, regiment our daily lives and be masters instead of servant of the people, those “certain alienable rights“ which are ours by creation will be lost. If there be any doubt in anyone’s mind as to the dangers now threatening our Republican form of government, that doubt should be removed by reading a statement made by representative Hatton W. SUMNERS, Texas Democrat, who recently announced that he would not be a candidate for election to his 18th consecutive term in the house of representatives. Representative SUMNERS, in part, said: “by ignoring principles and the lessons of history, and excepting the theories of men and political expedience for our guidance, we have made , VASSALS of our states and dependents of our people. By concentration of governmental power and drafts upon the federal treasury, we now have a financially “busted“, great piled up mess of governmental confusion beyond human comprehension, impossible of democratic control, extravagant, wasteful, inefficient and by its nature the instrumentality of favoritism, tyranny, oppression and corruption, and the destroyer of the self – reliance and self-respect and governmental capacity of the people, qualities without which no people can remain free.“ Other great Americans by the by the score have warned us against dictatorship, conceived more than a decade ago, when certain government leaders, aided by the communists and socialists, started the regimental march by stealthily tiptoeing towards the abandonment of government of the people, by the people and for the people. American communist or strong in steering positions in some labor organizations, farm organizations, governmental bureaus, educational organizations, colleges, schools, youth organizations, cooperatives, and many other organizations and groups like the American Labor Party and the C.I.O. In fact, there are more than 400 different communist organizations and other organizations with communist entrenched leader hip that are working as pressure groups and helping to enact much of the deficit spending, government controlled and bureau-creating programs as recommended by President Truman in his message to Congress on September 6, 1945. Many of the prominent leaders of the federal counsel of the churches of Christ in America, speaking as representatives of federal counsel which has a membership in excess of 25 million protestant church members in 150,000 local congregations in all parts of our country, are denouncing the private free enterprise system and advocate in an economic system similar to that advocated by Victor G. Reuther, a brother of Walter Reuther - newly elected president of the C.I.O. – United Automobile Workers. Mr. REUTHER recently said: “..... A new American progressive party must propose a pattern of social ownership that will serve to break the controls of monopoly capitalism. And the forms of social ownership it does propose to institute must, in the fashion of the cooperatives and the T.V.A., be absolutely democratic in character.“ Mr. Louis Budenzs, for years an official of the communist party, and editor of its mouthpiece, “The Daily Worker“, and who embraced religion when he gave up communism has stated that the Communist Party in the United States is a direct arm of the Soviet government. Mr. Budenzs should know.

The abolition of all forms of religion; 2. The destruction of private property and the abolition of inheritance; 3. Absolute social and racial equality; 4. Destruction of all forms of representative or democratic government, including civil liberties, such as freedom of speech, of the press, and of assemblage. Communism would, of course, abolish trade unions, business associations, civic clubs, chambers of commerce, lodges and prevent the assemblage of all business and social groups. Hundreds of pressure groups, claiming to represent millions of individual citizens, are “ringing doorbells” as urged buy Henry A. Wallace in one of his addresses before Sydney Hillman's CIO-Political Action Committee. These pressure groups are well-organized and are doing all in their power to control Congress and elect representatives who believe in a planned and regulated economy – a government bureaucracy operating under directives and war-time powers like the present O. P. A. and the government's new housing plan which regulate and control much of the daily activities of 140,000,000 Americans. Here are 10 ways in which every freedom loving person can help reestablish and preserve constitutional government and thereby help to keep America American: 1. By putting first things first and, in the words of our founding fathers, sincerely saying: “Appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions..... With a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.“ 2. By prayerful, intelligent and independent thinking, plus the courage to “stand up and be counted“ among those who will make whatever sacrifices are necessary to keep America American. 3. By registering and then voting for real statesman rather than mere politicians who place expediency ahead of what is right. 4. By frequently writing our representatives in Congress - the one bulwark between the American people and dictatorship – giving them our views as to how America can be kept American. 5. By re-dedicating ourselves to the preservation of our Constitution and the fundamental truth that our American Republic will endure only as long as the ideas of our God-fearing founding fathers continue dominant. 6. By urging Congress to declare World War II at an end so that wartime directives, regimentation and government bureaucracy, with its extravagance and waste, will no longer be carried into the peace years. 7. By not allowing any labor organization, business association or any pressure groups of any kind to be our spokesman or to commit us to planned and regulated economy, government bureaucracy, national Socialism or other foreign ideologies that would destroy the American way of life under constitutional government. 8. By not “running to Washington“ for financial help, and by insisting on an end to present government extravagance and waste so that the federal budget can be balanced and annual payments made on the federal debt, which is fast approaching $300 billion. 9. By insisting on the removal of price ceilings, government subsidies and other socialistic activities which prevent full production and the balancing of the budget, the two requisites necessary for the prevention of that type of inflation that would wipe out all property values. 10. By encouraging Man, management and government to reestablish and preserve the individual competitive enterprise system with Man and Management working as a team and government acting as an umpire – never as a dictator.

Whereas, the avowed aim of communism is to make the whole world a Soviet Union with Moscow as its capital; and Whereas, communists are now working tirelessly to set up their ideology in our own country and are succeeding to an alarming degree; and Whereas, their methods of propaganda are so scientific and subtle that our American groups both public and private are infiltrated and poisoned without recognizing what is taking place; and Whereas, our people generally are unaware of the inroads already made by dangerous communistic doctrines in labor groups, race groups, youth groups, and religious groups; and Whereas, communist now have access to centers, executive, scientific, and industrial that are vital to our national defense; be it Resolved, that we recognize the world aim of communism as very real and very perilous; and be it Resolved, that we meet zeal for communism with greater zeal for representative government, that we know better our privileges and blessings as American citizens and that we point these out diligently to those we meet; and be it Resolved, that we inform ourselves of communistic methods of infiltration and indoctrination and that we expose these methods whereever we have opportunity; and be it Resolved, that we work aggressively to arouse every citizen to the threat that communism poses to his personal safety and the American way of life; and be it Resolved, that all known communists and there’s sympathizer should be interned in concentration camps until such time as the president and Congress may determine that they are not harmful to our national security; and be it Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be sent to the local press, our congressmen, and United States senators, the committee on un-American activities, and chairman of national defense committee of the national Society daughters of the American Revolution.

Bilbo, Senate office building, Washington DC, My dear Senator, Enclosed is my check for $100 to help out on your coming campaign. Also, it is in appreciation of your efforts to defeat Roosevelt’s FEPC measure, a sorry piece of cheap political double-crossing that stinks. Would like to suggest and recommend that when the bill comes up to make Roosevelt’s birthday a national holiday that it be amended so as to make two holidays - one for the day of his birth, the other for the day of his death. That would give everybody a chance to celebrate. I regard Roosevelt’s birthday as the blackest day in American history. Anybody who can aggravate, exasperate and irritate those New York pinks, reds, and blacks as you have so well and capably done ought to be stationed in Washington permanently, and without the bother of an occasional election.

This appears to be an excellent idea it would certainly be far more effective than occasional seminars in Jackson or speakers address small audiences, who already believe in what the speaker has to say. In my recommendation to Governor Johnson for sovereignty commission program during his administration, I mentioned that we could operate affectively on $200,000 for the biennium instead of $250,000 under which we are now operating in the $225,000 recommended by the budget commission. This could be done only if the sovereignty commission can use its funds for its own administrative programs and support of such necessary projects as the anti-communism institute. Under my proposal, we can afford the $5000 per year to match the $2000 in outside support mentioned by Dr. Fike Sincerely, Signed by Earl Johnston Junior.
