"We
again warn our people in America of the constantly increasing threat against
our inspired Constitution and our free institutions set up under it. The
same political tenets and philosophies that have brought war and terror in
other parts of the world are at work amongst us in America. The
proponents thereof are seeking to undermine our own form of government and to
set up instead one of the forms of dictatorships now flourishing in other
lands. These revolutionists are using a technique that is as old as the
human race - - a fervid but false solicitude for the unfortunate over whom they
thus gain mastery and then enslave them." [Elder J. Reuben Clark, Conference
Report, Apr. 1942, 88-97]
