War Against Communism Led by Legion and Chamber
A field report on civic actions against Communism highlights the American Legion and the U S Chamber of Commerce. The Legion built a National Americanism Commission and publishes anti Communist bulletins and seminars since 1935, while the Chamber, under Eric Johnston and Emerson Schmidt, created an anti Communist bureau with pamphlets like Communist Infiltration in the US and Communists in the Government. The article notes distribution figures and cites other groups such as Walter Steele's National Republic and the Advertising Council in the broader effort.
