+ Gentlemen;
The conclusion of hostilities has
brought a new interest in life TO all

establishment Of peace time condi-
tons

ing home from the changed 70
men with visions broadened by var
led experiences They are returning
to have their part in the great read
justmeni which they helped TO make
possible
Never before have the people OF
the United States been called upon
to decide so many important ques-
lions at one time. for to our domes-
tic problems have been added inter
national problems that perplex MS and
challenge our most thoughtful con
sideration.
Just as the Chautauquas helped the
Government during the war by
spreading patriotic propaganda, they
are now ready to help solve the
problems of peace. Your program
will include men Of wide experience
who are familiar with the tendencies
Of national thought and develop
ment.
I expect 10 present the following
speakers at your Chautauqua:
DIR. Frank L. Loveland, the noted
minister and orator
DIR. Charles Z. Barker. physical adj
