LECTURE UPON PROBLEM
 OF RELIGIOUS PREJUDICE
At Knights of Columbus Convention
 by Joseph Scott of Los Angeles.

Speaking before the Knights of Co., lumbuS convention in Davenport, Iowa on American Citizenship, Joseph Scott of Los Angeles, California, touched sharply upon the problem of religious prejudice. Mr. Prejudice Committee of the Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus
 No matter, he said, how loyal the Americans are in their hearts to the spirit of patriotism, it is necessary to implant the idea of patriotism firmly in the plastic minds of our children There never was a time since Lin coln's presidency when this country needed more the spirit of harmony and tions of people.
 'The only test of loyalty to this country" said MT. Scott, lis a firm be- lief among it's citizens of the American Ideal as being superior to any other ideal now existing on earth
 Discussing some recent problems MT Scott said: "A great deal is being said now about the hyphenated American. It would be well to put a soft pedal upon talk of that kind. Let it be remembered that the hyphen originally was put upon the immigrant as a badge of exclusion in certain sec tions of our country, particularly where the Anglo Saxon stock predOm- mated.
 The Knights of Columbus has no limitation on it's membership growing out of radical distinction. It may be somewhat helpful, however, to em- phasize for the benefit of those who are not Knights Of Columbus that more racial prejudiCes are not the only diff fculties which cOnfrOnts the nation to- day.
