New York: The
attorney for the company that publishes the Revolutionary
Age, a communist newspaper, admits in court that the goal of his client
(the newspaper) is to overthrow the U.S. government. His client is not “foolish enough to believe
the overthrow could be brought about except by force,” the attorney says. But he says such an overthrow is impossible
at this time, and therefore the U.S. Post Office should not interfere with
distribution of the newspaper. The U.S. prosecuting
attorney says: “The Revolutionary Age
is the organ of a party which advocates revolution. Maybe its backers believe they are not strong
enough here and now, but the fact remains that as soon as revolution is a
practicable possibility, they will be for it.”
