The National Security league enlisted
the cooperation of the great patriotic
organizations of the country in this eff

principal attention of the Security

working on the basic idea that the best
antioote for Bolshevism is American
ism and that Americanism is purely a
question of education. Believing that
a thorough knowledge and apprecia-
ton of the real meanings of American
institutions and ideals BY all the peo-
pie will effectually overcome all UNI
American doctrine, for Security league

stitutional celebration and preliml-
