COMMUNISM: THREAT TO LIBERTYormemor rns micron UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FEDERAL BUKEAU OF INVESTIGATION Mareh 13, 1961 T would like to take this opportunity to extend greetings to the readers af Treasure Chest. Your editor has informed me that this miagazine is undertaking a series of stories on commu- nism, and I am pleased to present my views on the importance of understanding this subject. Communism represents the most serious threat facing our way of life. ‘The responsibility of protecting and preserving the freedoms we cherish will soon belong to the members of your generation, The most effective way for you to fight communism is to learn all youcan about it, Do this by: pursuing the appropriate courses of study at your school and by reading books and other material on this subject. ‘Thus equipped, you will know and understand the nature of communism. This knowledge is most essential, for tt hhelps us recognize and detect the communists as they attempt to infiltrate the various segments of our society. a am rector CHES at Lyfe ty fvlinet gaa Iwo, maha during, he seh! onvines, 1.38, st iti Sittin oktton 9: GHG Seater pal "Sh retinetipi G2 0 oer geurie G5 and 2.0 Mk Corda ant Toe Coan’ Subizepto Tat Sears.
