Cora Harris, noted Southern writ
er and philosopher, fixes the respor
sibility for the social and industrial
unrest in this country upon 9TH
American Alien Glass; which ha
been made the victim OF the insiduou
teachings OF the foreign-born elemen
seeking to destroy American insitu
lions and Government.
Thrift will go 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 tt
teach saving, she says, but declares
they must cease to be the vampires
and become the domestic economists
Of American civilization"
1--WE have now to deal in this coun
try with new and until recently I'M
discovered class, which we may cal
the American Alien Class: born OF
good Anglo-Saxon and alien bloods
but who has become the Under-stud
les Of the Callahan hordes of Europe
who have been shipped to this coun
try at the rate of 100000 and more
q 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 l. 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 l 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 Bolshe-
vik Professor, but more often a man Of
simple worth, who welcomed a new
idea simply because it was new, not
because it 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 Callahan features of de-
generate immigrant class, crawling
up out Of the mud of horrible things,
to lay it's 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 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 Oh
Callahan propaganda"
ut 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
10 the headquarters of Democracy.
Therefore it is necessary to COM
bat this propaganda with the wisdom
Of peace and by all the means IN the
hands Of loyal Americans who believe

Lack of Thrift an Evil
zone of the greatest agencies against
he very foundations OF our lnstltu-
ions is the habit Of extravaganza
.bs lack of thrift We are bound to
admit that the example for these evils
originally was set for our people by
he capitalist class, but this class
las gone far toward redeeming itself
Ind digesting its sins by its loyalty
md sacrifices for this country during
he great war. And, indeed, all other
,ouutries who suffered from the heel
II German oppression. But the views
Il the rich now have entered the poor
t a time when they have been emas-
ulated and degraded by the propa-
;anda of the malignant Immigrant
lass.
This has gone on for years, SO
hat they are not able to react against
hese evil tendencies. They lack the
light moral discipline necessary to
orn honorable judgments; the sense

n them and has been replaced by the {
