BY FRANKLIN X. LANE.

BY FRANKLIN X. LANE.
Secretary OF the Interior and Chair
man OF the Industrial Conference.
The primary purpose of the Amer
icanization bill which is now before
Congress is to abolish iIIiteracy ia
the United States. and the plan pro-
posed is cooperative action between
the Federal and State governments.
whereby the States would be asked
to pass legislation in which they
would meet on a fifty-fifty basis the
federal appropriations.
This is one OF the largest prob
lens in the United States-larger
than any particular material prob
lem.
We must deliver from bondage
millions of children and men and
women-liberate them from the
blinders of ignorance. that all the
wealth of literature and the knowl-
edge that comes from the printed
word may be revealed to them.
Defines Americanism.
We must help them to an under
standing of our ideals, our traditions,
our opportunities. this is the very first
step in weaving them into our flag
the very first step in our process OF
Americanization.
1t has never seemed to me that it
was difficult to define Americanization
or Americanism: II appreciate some
thing; 1 admire something; 1 love
something. I want my neighbors to
appreciate and love that thing too.
That something Is America
The process is not one OF science;
the process is one of humanity. There
is no way by which we can make
anyone feel that 1t Is a splendid thing
to be an American, unless we are our
selves interpreters of Americanism by
our kindness, our courage, our gener-
osity and our fairness. We want to
interpret America in boys and girls
and men and women that read and
write. We want to interpret America
in better housing conditions and de-
cent wages.
A Mans Land.
That is Americanism in the con-
crete-reduced to practical terms.
This is the spirit OF the Declaration
of Independence put into terms that
are social and economic.
From the first this spirit has been
generous. 1t has extended the open
hand across the seas. This was a
mans land-a place Of test. The art
that was most needed was the art
