What do ex-scryice men do with

Some persons opposed to handing

argument that the benefciarles viii

But the experience Of the Wells

which firm has been instrumental in

conjecture. Figures just compiled by

PLAN TO FIGHT PROPAGANDA
VIII Urge Congress to Make English
Language and American History
Compulsory in Schools.

Henry J. Ryan, who succeeded Ar
thur Woods as national director of the
Americanism commission of the Amer
lean Legion, has announced h definite
program of Americnnism activities
which Legion leaders believe will eff
fectiycly combat anti-American propa-
ganda at its sources.
The plan includes sympathetic re
ception to the immigrant and method
of providing him with opportunities to
school himself in American ideas i'm
proYement of immigration and natural
ization laws; measures to stop the c.r-
culntion of B0lshevIst and |. w. w.
propaganda, and providing a greater
chance for education i'll citizenship
among the adult native born.
The Legion's campaign will start
with the school which is characterized
ey Mr.. Ryan as the foundation of char
acter building. NO greater problem
challenges the American people than
the school, said Mr.. Ryan Sweeping
changes must be made in our schools
~ ANNptuAipl anu liit OBSTRUCTION OF
America will be but a matter Of time.
The school system of America, as con
Stituted at present, is Incapable of de
Eeloplng the type of intelligent citizen
ship which is the foundation Of de-
ihocracy, and without which human lib
erty has no champion. The changes
which the American Legion advocates
are, first, that English shall be the con
trolling language in all schools. and.
second, that the study of American his
tory and civics shall be made compul-
sorry to all school pupils. 70 accom-
plish these proposals the Legion will
petition congress to formulate res0-
