KO quotes TS re: use of Mormonism to spread the American empire.

Imperialistic countries spread out their dominion also under the disguise of religious missionary work. At first usually come the missionaries, then the diplomats and the merchants, and after them the police and the military forces. . . . The United States has begun conquest work under the disguise of religion even in Finland. . . . It is a far-reaching business. . . . The people of Finland do not need a religious revival arranged by strangers. Even less do we need the kind of revival where religiosity clothes itself in the kaftan of Mormonism, and of which it can never be known whether it serves more the grubby spirits of the Mormonites or the foreign capital with which this activity is upheld.
