the opening, reading, sorting and de

with other developments in America
Hundreds OF thousands OF peoples
have come within our own border in
the last few years who have little
conception OF the real ideals which
have made America thus far safe for
democracy. Americans have been
filling up unoccupied areas. and reli-
gious forces have been unable to ao.
company them.
