LOANS Of NATION
WIN FOREIGN BORN
Hans Reig, Treasury Official,
Advocates Centralized
AUGMENTATION.
RALLIED TO GOVERNMENT

characterization of the foreign born
and of the children of foreign born
in the United States is no impossible
task. That is the assurance given
by Hans Reig, himself a native of
language division, war loan organiza
ton of the Treasury Department. This
is a subject engaging attention of
reconstructionists over the nation.
More than 5000. 600 of the $4,000, 900
foreign born or offspring of foreign
erty loan. Nearly 100000 subscribed
$500. 900. 900 to the third liberty loan. This
was accomplished by talking to them
of the American democracy's ideals
and purposes in their own languages.
They were taught to understand
where understanding had been shut
out from them because of language
isolation.
Proposes Intensive Application.
Americanism has been the keynote
of the activities of the foreign lam
guage division under Hans Reig. Re-
garding their Americanism as one Of
struction. he urges that the lessons
learned in promoting the liberty
loans among the foreign speaking
peoples of the United States be in
tensively applied.
I'VE have now been able to realize
as never before the Importance. both
as to quality and quantity. of that
Mr.. Reig, land also the woeful-yes,
perhaps criminal-neglect of them on
the part of government. whether federal,
state or municipal.
This is demonstrated by the mani
fold schemes and endeavors of Ameri-
everybody everywhere wants to
Americanize. Official. semi-official and
unofficial private organizations and
committees have been formed and
were being formed. all for the same
purpose.
"And that is where the fault lies. It
has been my experience that in the
majority of cases the only claim those
have, who have become interested in
Americanization, is that as a rule they
know as little as possible about our
foreign born.
Need of Capitalization.
Another fault is that all these
sources of Americanization. with
their ffty-seven different varieties.
lacking Capitalization and co-ordina-
ton. beget wasted energy. scattered
effort. I am of firm conviction that
desired Roadway can be made only if
we establish Capitalization of all
plans of AmericaniZation under fed
eral control and supervision. backed
up by proper. special and badly need
ed legislation.
I'VE can then proceed with the
effective cooperation of state and
municipal authorities. together with
the absolutely essential cooperation
of nationality and racial group lead
ers, such as pastors. priests and heads
of existing organizations among the
foreign born. We can then bring
about coordination of effort. uni
formity of endeavor. saving of time
and money and gain of strength and
effectiveness"
Campaigns in behalf of the financial
enterprises of the government, un-
dertaken by the foreign language di-
vision. in the opinion of Mr.. Reig, es-
tablish that a responsive chord can
be touched. This is a process of
Americanization that he would have
perpetuated in any general scheme.
