Foreword This book is dedicated to the young people of America, who are rebelling because they know SOmething h very \"Wrong in their country, but do not know just what it is. I hope this book will help to enlighten them. There is not, to my knowledge, any family like the \"Ax- magh Family in America, nor has there ever been, and all characters, except those obviously historical, are my own invention. However, the historical background and the po- fitical background of this novel are authentic. The \"Com- mittee for Foreign Studies\" does indeed exist, today as of yesterday, and so does the \"Scardo SOciety,\" but not by these names. There is indeed a \"plot against the people,\" and probably always will be, for government has always been hostile to- cb ~e governe~. It is not a new story, and the consplra- aria ~Onsptracles have varied from era to era, depend- ing on the pofitical or economic situation in their various countries. But it was not until the era of the League of Just Men and Karl Marx that conspirators and conspiracies became one, with one aim, one objective, and one determination. This has nothing to do with any \"ideology\" or form of gov- e~aent, or ideals or \"ma~ rialism\" or any other ~a~hP~ gener.onsly fed to the unthinking masses. It amom~W nounng Io oo with races or re~igiuns, for the nSypirators are beyond what they call \"such trivialities.\" are also beyond good and evil. The Caesars they put ! m power are theft c~eatures, whether they know it or not, ~vd ~e pe~.l~ of all nation, are belplem, whether they ~e~ , ~menca, ~urope, Rus.~t, China, Africa, or South -~ ~eEca. l ney Will always be belplees until they are aware Lq meal\" real enemy.
