power and influence has made itself felt in almost every phase of our national life." On the other hand

The map purports to show how the Communists—allegedly in league with the Nazis and various Fascist organizations—had established a pervasive, nationwide "Fifth Column" that "Menaces America on a Thousand Fronts." Separate symbols are used to denote the locations of Communist Central, District and Section Headquarters, as well as Communist Workers' Schools, Training Camps and Literature Centers. Markers show the locations of similar operations of the Nazis, German Bund and Fascists (including "Native Fascists"). The country is divided to show the separate Communist District Boundaries and Nazi Department Boundaries. The text on the face of the map asserts that the Fifth Column has "penetrated" the U.S. Army, Navy, National Guard and Defense Industries. What matters on this map is not the specific geographic location of any individual group, but their sheer pervasiveness and scope, surely enough to strike fear into any patriotic American.
