into the war. y --
The American Legion certainly had
an indirect responsibility for stirring
up the passions that led to the tragedy
in Centralia, Washington, on Ar
mistice Day, 1919. Instead or repent
ing, however, the Legion capitalized
the occurrence an it's attack on radi-
calism the country over, and after
the verdict Of the court the American
Legion Weekly perpetrated what can
hardly be regarded as anything but
deliberate incitement to violence. 1t
will be recalled that the verdict found
seven of the defendants guilty of

words the jury decided that the
shooting was Intentional but not pre-

Americanization.


1t would seem that the attitude to-
ward the alien taken by the American
Legion Weekly would form about as
impenetrable barrier as possible for
Americanization work. The first an
nual convention. in Minneapolis in
November of 1919, added few bars,
however, by adopting the report of a
Committee on Anti-American Propa-
ganda, ranging from a tin-pan, flag
waving self-sufficiency which recon-
mended legislation compelling all pub
lie and private schools to set aside
ten minutes day for patriotic exer-
cises,' to resolution that the De-
partment of Justice be changed "from

be a plea for the establishment Of a

Importance of education in the pro-

this fact was generally recognized 1t
did not seem to be appreciated to the
point where it received governmental
attention. He said $3.50 of our taxes

to various other provisions and only
1Tc goes towards education. This
alone is what merited the term Of
