ACKNOWLEDGEMENT by foreigners to De tne
most beautiful capital in the world
One thing for which the See America First
crusaders are working is to get the idea out OF
the minds of Americans that all sightseeing
must needs be done in the summer vacation
season. There are many classes OF people
take, for Instance, the fafmers,--who find 1t al
most impossible to leave home in midsummer.
but who could very readily take trip IN the
autumn or winter Efforts being made to
point out to these people that there Is just as
much which can be seen to the best advantage
in winter as there Is In the category OF summer
show places Indeed. 1t Is only at such times,
when II is chilly or showing In the north ana
west. that one may enjoy maximum comfort In
quaint old New Orleans, In Florida or In south
ern California,-all of them districts worthy TO
vie with anything in southern France and Italy.
The broad policy Of the See America First
movement calls upon its devotees to not only IN.
duce people to give New World scenery the pref
erence land Canada is of course, included but
also to do everything in their power to make
travelling In America comfortable and to re-
duce the cost Indeed, the claim that one may
travel more cheaply In Europe than In the
United States Is one of the arguments invariably
advanced by people who argue for foreign travel
However the greatest need of American tourist
regions is more good hotes,-not necessarily
highpriced fashionable hotels, but good clean
neatlykept hostelries where the traveller who is
not multimiionaire may obtain wholesome
well-cooked food and comfortable bed at a
price that Is not two or three times what his
earnings would be for the days labor II he
were back home. There has been great i'm
provement In this direction In late years, but
there is plenty of room for further betterment
Another need is lines Of reasonable priced pub
lie coaches traversing regions not traversed by
the railroads and which In many instances are
now closed book to people who cannot afford
the luxury of an automobile Coaches such az
are operated In Yellowstone Park and on Gettys

Many people in the east have gained the
erroneous impression that the See America
First crusade is solely movement designed
to induce the people OF the east to visit the
west and particularly the Pacific coast. Tnat
such an impression has gained credence may
be attributed to two circumstances For one
thing many of the most notable scenic won
