LEGION PLANS
BIG CAMP AIGN
AMONG ALIENS
First Objective Is to Teach
Foreigners to Speak English
and TO Understand Ameri-
can Ideals.

The keystone Of any campaign to
Americanize aliens is the requirement
that the aliens know the American
language, declares Roger William Riis,
IN an article entitled Putting the Three
rs 70 Work in the current issue Of
The American Legion Weekly, the Of
fetal Publication OF the American Le-
gton. This Is the first objective" the
article continues. and unless II is
reached little else will avail, 1t is, Of
course. only a part OF the whole; teach
ing an alien TO speak our language
does not make him loyal to our coun-
try. but on the other hand, the chances
that he will be loyal 10 our country are
negligible unless he knows It's Ian
guage.
In Lawrence, Mass. there are 1885,
600 people $4,000 or 81 per cent OF
them are entirely ignorant Of the Ian
guage Of the rest OF America.
-Four hundred thousand men guilt

10000 or 40 per cent Of them were

weekly wage OF an illiterate at IS less
than that OF an educated worker, the
nation loses $4,000, 100000 year
through the existence Of this condition
In 10 years that would cancel our war
ANnka
Now for the last figures, which give
point to those just mentioned In f9ls
liO,6lS aliens sought admission to this
country. In 1919 the number was l4i,-
l32. an increase OF 3O,5i4. Before the
war the number averaged nearly mill
lion a year.
For the first time since America
became great nation. we are enjoy
ing q breathing spell from the steady
tnrush OF immigrants, Today Is the
time 10 turn to and clean house There
is not much time; already the tide is
rising again; the stream OF immigra-
tim Is beginning to surge about our
gates, Before II reaches the flood we
shall, II we are wise, roll up our sleeves
and get on the job.
The American Legion knows that,
The first step was taken In the resoiu-
ton passed at Minneapolis, creating a
National Amerlcanlsm commission,
realize In the. United States the basic
ideal OF this legion Of 100 per cent
Americanism, through the planning, es-
adjustment, and conduct OF q contIn.
nous, constructive, educational system
This system, the resolution continues,
shall be designed:
'First--To combat all anti.Amcrican
tendencies. activities and propaganda,
Second-To work for the education
of immigrants. prospective American
citizens and alien residents In the prin-
ciples OF Americanism,
Third-To inculcate the ideals OF
Americanism In the citizen population,
part cularly the basic American prin-
ciple that the interests OF all the people
are above those OF any special interest
or any so-called class or section OF tia
people.
'Fourth--To spread throughout the
people OF the nation information as to
the real nature and principles OF Amer
lean government.
'fffth--To foster the teaching of
Americanlsm In all the schools.
That Is our program. II Is a big
ONE and offers many difficulties. But |
Il can be done and the legion il the
body to do it,"
