Talks on Americanism
At the close of the reading OF re-
ports, President Pe1ton introduced y.
Chauncey Brewer, head Of the North
American Civic League for Foreign
ers. The speaker enumerated tho
dangers which the United States faces
In the presence of millions Of foreign
born residents, who throng the lead =
ing cities, filed the factories, and live
in the most strategic points of the
country and yet ignorant of the fun
damentals Of government and the sig
nificance Of the word dem ocracy. The
world today, according to this speaker,
is pauslng in a calm, a pOrtentous
calm, which presages another great
| storm unless the roper machinery is
| set into motion to prevent a social
and political upheaval, which threat
| ems the stability of the country.
! AS rem edies for present ills in our
assimilation OF foreign elements, the
speaker very hurried1y. as time was
| limited, suggested tho following meas
tires:
! Control of the 1000 or more
| newspapers, which are printed and
circulated in a foreign 1anguag e.
| These should be kept under constant
surveillace.
| Stop pushing the foreigner into
| citizenship or thrusting upon him
| honors, the responsibilities of which
he does not comprehend, or through
his lack of knowledge, does not care
Volitionally to assume
See that our lawyers and legisla-
tors differentiate in the laws as to the
| right to free speech and assembly,
| that gatherings called for the pur-
pose Of melting audiences to unlaw-
| full deeds are not tolerated.
Regarding the I. W. w. or Boil
| shevistic element in the country Mr..
! Brewer feels confident that if an edit
| cational campaign We're launced and
| that these alien residents were ap-
| preached, their confidence won, and
| they were taught the fundam entails
! of government, they would become a
| big asset to the stability of the gov
eminent ana they would know and
| appreciate the meaning of democracy.
| The school in Mr.. Brewers opinion
| looms up as one of the most potent
! agencies in this much needed crusade
| Of en1ightment.
