er and philosopher, fixes the respon-
sfbiiity for the social and industrial
unrest in this country upon "The
American Alien Glass;" which has
been made the victim of the insiduous
teachings of the foreign-born element
seeking to destroy American insitu-
lions and Government.
Thrift will go a long ways toward
relieving existing social and economic
conditions, says Mrs. Harris, in an in
terview discussing the present state
OF the country's unrest. American
women have great opportunity to
teach saving, she says, but declares
they must cease to be the vampires
and become the domestic economists
OF American civilization" :
we have now to deal in this coun-
try with new and until recently I'M
discovered class, which we may call
the American Alien Class: born of
good Anglo-Saxon and alien bloods,
hut who has become the under-stnd-
les of the Callahan hordes of Europe;
who have been shipped to this coun-
try at the rate of 100000 and more
a year, until now there are literally
millions Of Them" is the sweeping
statement of Mrs. Harris.
Before the great war we called
them immigrants. Now we know
them to be the Red Radicals, the So
cialists. Anarchists, Annihilists, Thu
lar Deities Of the-I. w. w. and many
other destructive agencies in this
country. They are the spawn Of the
mental, moral and physical degener-
acy OF foreign countries"
"The American alien to whom I re-
fer for years has been the under-study
Of this Callahan. He sometimes was a
student of our universities, listening
to lectures from a scholarly Bol5he-
vik professor, but more often man Of
simple worth, who welcomed a new
idea simply because it was new, not
because 1t had any worth, and be-
cause he never had studied or been
informed as to the glory and worth
of the ideals upon which his own civ
ilization was founded"
Not Labor Unrest
what we suppose to be labor I'M
rest in this country is no such thing.
1t is the CalabaR- features OF a de-
generate immigrant class, crawling
up out of the mud Of horrible things,
to lay its Shiny hands on the Govern
ment and make of that great class Of
American workers American aliens, so
that now the two together are no
longer to be known as the working
class, but as the malignant classes,
against whose efforts to destroy the
institutions of this Government we
must keep a standing army. And, in
short, no longer for the present are
we at war with the Huns, except as
they are represented by the Galatians
of the country, but we are at war
with these American aliens produced
by these malignant immigrants who
are masters of the dissemination Of
Callahan propaganda"
"It is against the genius Of our civil
lization to keep standing armies. Our
armies are trained to make the world
safe for democracy and this country
is the headquarters Of Democracy.
therefore 1t 10 necessary to COM
bat this propaganda with the wisdom
Of peace and by all the means in the
hands of loyal Americans who believe
In this form of Government
Lack Of Thrift an Evil
zone of the greatest agencies against
the very foundations OF our institu-
lions is the habit of extravaganza
the lack of thrift We are bound to
admit that the example for these evils
originally was set for our people by
the capitalist class, but this class
has gone far toward redeeming itself
and digesting it's sins by its loyalty
and sacrifices for this country during
the great war. And, indeed, all other
countries who suffered from the heel
of German oppression. But the views
| of the rich now have entered the poor
at a time when they have been emas-
| culated and degraded by the propa-
ganda of the malignant immigrant
| class.
"This has gone on for years, so
that they are not able to react against
these evil tendencies. They lack the
| right moral discipline necessary to
form honorable judgments; the sense

in them and has been replaced by the
