News Service) NEW YORK.—Veterans of the Ab raham Lincoln Brigade returning to the United States will be “true disci ples of revolution,” Merwin K. Hart, President of the New York State Eco nomic Council, declared at a luncheon given by American Patriots, Inc. “The men returning from Spain are of two kinds,” he said. “One is the kind that has been completely dis illusioned—he was persuaded to go abroad, not knowing the true signif icance of the fight. He is fed up and is through. The other group is made up of men who are true radicals by nature—true disciples of revolution. Each of these men, wherever he set tles down, will continue to be the cen ter of revolutiona activity. He has been fighting with Cornrnviete. He is essentially against the kind of gov ernment for which the United States stands. He is as much opposed to the American system as he was before he went abroad. He is even more dan gerous to the United States now, in that he has been through what is, in effect, a Communist School in Spain.’ Mr. Hart also said that 100 Span iards returned from Russia in the spring of 1936 after ‘intensively studying revolutionary methods for a year.” The returning veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, he con cluded, will be used by “those who plan revolution in the United States.” “Yet,” he added, “these men are re ceived here like returning heroes.
