We Must Fight For True Arnericanism
BY REV. JOHN }. BURKE, C. s. P.

ton has seen and is still seeing service
at home and abroad
Every intelligent and patriotic Amer
ican sees today that these services,
harnessed for work in the war, ought
not to be scrapped, but should serve
in the future just as capably as in the
past. We all know our strength the
better, and we all feel under the urge
of the new Americanism that we ought
to use it to the full. II victory is not
to be lost we must keep up the fight
for true American principles; we must
wipe out the poisonous imported prin-
ciples. We must make of our new
comers intelligent, capable citizens.
The Catholic body is close to these
questions. No church has weathered
so many storms; no church has so Of
ten spoken on world problems. The
program of Social Reconstruction, is
sued by the National Catholic War
Council, is an index of what the ac-
ton and leadership of the Catholic to-
day will be. Problems of labor and
capital, AmericaniZation, social better
ment, child labor, community welfare,
the increased importance of the posi-
tion of women, the necessity of clas-
sical and technical education, housing
conditions, the well-being Of boys and
girls-all these should receive careful
and warrant the continuation
Of the National Catholic Welfare Coun-
Gil.
In the meeting Of the bishops Of the
entire country at Washington Ameri-
cans will witness the greatest Catholic
gathering since the Plenary Council of
Baltimore in 1884. In it experienced.
patriotic men will give heart and soul
to American problems. They will try
to plan so that by solving these prob
lens the United States may be made a
stronger, a better and more prosper
GUS nation than ever before.

PATRIOT PRIMER
FOR FOREIGNERS
Simple Story of Our Nation Told
by Catholic Council to
New Citizens.

Westinghouse ammunition in its
nationwide fight for civic education OF
the nine million foreign-born and illit-
crate people in the United States, the
National Catholic War Council has is.
sued patriotic primer, entitled "The
Fundamentals of Citizenship" from its
headquarters in this city. In less than
fifty pages Of short, simple sentences
the history and idea Of American de-
mocracy as well as the needs and
rights Of its people are outlined in this
little book, with brief explanations of
such subjects as public educat ton,
health, legislation, representation, the
courts, foreign relations, fraud preven-
ton, insurance, taxation, naturaliza-
ton and duties Of citizenship. Trans.
lated into foreign languages or quoted
by thousands of the trained native
speakers who are enlisted in this civic
campaign, the contents of this hand
book on American democracy will be
placed before every man, woman and
child in this country whose civic ignO-
rance might make them easy prey for
Bolsheviki propaganda. It includes
copies of the Declaration Of Independ.
ence and the Constitution Of the Unit
ed States.
Declaring that "our country is the
land of freedom and opportunity" and
that knowledge Of its Constitution is
necessary to the American-born as well
as to the foreign-born "if they, too, are
to take up the task Of faithful citizen
ship" this primer of patriotism de-
votes itself at the outset to "the gen.
eral work Of reconstruction in citizen
ship" 1t explains that "the citizen
who does not possess some knowledge
of our democratic institutions may
easily become the prey of the dema-
gogue or of persons who are anxious
to advance their own interests at the
expense Of the people"
Democracy requires of each man
great respect for order, more unself-
ish consideration of every mans rights
and advantage" asserts this new PAM
phlet under the heading THE Needs Of
the People" Each citizen is respon-
sible for the conduct Of the Govern
ment. He is part of the state, not
merely subject of it. The Govern
ment is his. If it is bad it is his fault.
He has put power into the wrong
hands,"
"The first duty of every citizen is to
vote at every election" it is declared
in a chapter on "The Citizens Part"
t"He has no right TO Shirk this SimDle
duty. No one has right to complain
about how things are done If he fails
ito vote. 1t Is not fair play to the rest
of the people when any man does not
help to do the work which benefits ALL
Every citizen should study public
questions enough to vote wisely, and
he should take the time, above all
things, to learn about the men who are
to be voted for as public officers. He

tiens Called In Various Counties.

Des Moines, June 2.--The United
states office of public roads has wired
the Iowa highway commission that the
federal department will not sanction
the spending of the federal aid fund
for gravel surfacing on main traffic
roads. This statement Of general po-
licy came In a message from Washing
ton, d. c., Saturday afternoon. Voters
in the counties where special paving
elections have been called flooded the
commission with the request to know
whether or not If the hard surfacing
proposition we're turned down the fed
eral aid money could be secured TOT
crawling the main Travelled roaos.
The following telegram was sent 10
the federal department.:
May 20, ls19-Bureau Of Public
Roads, Department Of Agriculture,
Washington, d. C.--In counties where
elections are called beginning Tuesday
voters may turn down paving unless
pretty sure to lose large Fart Of fedef-
al funds by refusal Of government TO
approve gravel project upon heavy
traffic roads. Do you wish to wire
statement Of general policy? Signed
Dean Marston.'
The following reply was received
Saturday:
Washington, D. c., May 3l.-Dean
Marston, Ames, Iowa: This depart
ment will not approve gravel roads on
main thoroushfares mentioned. Policy
is that roads must be adequate for
present traffic ard increase reasonably
expected in near future. Signed: Will
SON, ac ts,,ns director"
Thus while federal all funds can be
spent for grading and draining the
primary system and for graveling the
less important part Of the system ap-
proval for the expenditures of federal
aid money in surfacing main parts OF
the system can only be secured for
hard surfaeing. The turning down OF
the paving propositions as Is supposed
may mean the loss Of 9. considerable
portion of the federal aid allotment
both to the counties and the state.
