sands of workers of all races are working it out
America will succeed and the will be the success
of the world as it will show how the different
races of the world live together under one
government
This invention applies the foreign language press in
America.
This press is the power that fuses nationalisms and
Anericanisn that interprets America to the i'm
migrant and gives to America the riches from
other lands and other races.
The foreign language press is great American gate
wav: through it flows the information that forms
opinion and determines action. In it are dis
cussed the vital Industrial questions OF the day.
It means the adoption by foreign language publishers
and editors of American business principles and
loyalty to American ideals.
It means the message of America in the newspaper and
all products of America in the home of all who
have not yet learned our language.
