Foreigners Fear BLUE Law
The committee on foreign speaking
bodies reports the finding of an unrest
among foreign born, due in part to a
propaganda concerning the blue law
and to a misunderstanding of the. Vol
stead act and in part to the wholesale
and unwarrantable condemnation of for
eigners az radicals, an attitude bred by
an after-war psychology. Much of the
.Americanization work, it is affirmed, has
reacted uufayorably because of its impa-
tience and Supertisiality.
However. several foreign groups were
found which have sworn a new and eager
allegiance to America deeper and more
spiritual than formal citizenship or mill
tary service.
