WASHINGTON. Dec Tn words
that fairly snapped with their vigor
and burned in their vitriolic strength,
President Wilson hurled at Congress
today a communication OF hypenated
Americanism. II was the electric
shock OF his annual message to Con-

he ombellished his demand that Con-
sress take cognizance OF "corruptions

who had poured the poison OF dis
loyalty into the very arteries OF our

In the vast hall Of the House of Rep

chosen his words carefully. The very

fed by the fact that President him

Of religious prejudice. appointed by the

the end OF a two days executive meet
ing here to-day gave out the following
statement:
The commission has been investigat-
Ing the philosophy underlying the
waves of religious bigotry with which
the country s visited from time TO time.
and has reached the opinion that bigot-
* attacks made upon religion come
largely from three ella
First: Those who fail TO appreciate
the constitutional provision regarding
freedom of religious worship, or to un-
derstand the belief Of those protesting
a religion other than their own.
Second: Those whose purpose is to
destroy not only the Catholic religion.
hut all religion, and all duly constitute
cd government
Third: Perhaps the worst class com
priscs those who despite their eX-
pressed motives Of high purpose arc ac-
tuatcd solely by sordid mercenary con-
sidcrations.
The commission invites the cooper
alton OF societies and organizations OF
all religious beliefs to the end that the
constitutional provision regarding
freedom OF religious worship may be
understood and upheld.
The commission Will request the
Postina stcr-Icncral TO make public
statement regarding his position on the
exclusion of nonrnailablc matter in
States courts. apparently overlooked by
view OF the decisions Of the United

There is every indication from the
