FOREIGN VOTERS ASKED
To SECRET CONFERENCE
German Issues Private Invita-
tions for PoW-WoW to Start
Work on Hyphenate Bloc.

Washington.-Ther is to be another
Washington conference. Its purpose
is to mass the foreign votes into a
hyphenate bloc that will, set something
for themselves and save the country
from the British domination, which,
according to the agenda, is all-power-
full with the administration.
The only name mentioned so far in
connection with the call for this con-
ference is that of George w. Schrein-
er of New York. The Invitations are
issued in his name, otherwise George
Sylvester Viereck might have been
suspected, as the agenda has Vier-
eckian sound.
The agenda-marked private, pub
licity not desired"-begins with the
subject for discussion, participation
in the management of public affairs by
all elements of the citiZenry regard
less of origin" The first subdivision
under this head bewails the indiffer-
ence of Germans to politics.
"While the Irish-American stock"
runs the message, "haS taken fairly
active part in government, it has been
handicapped by the fact, obliged to
act singly, it has formed a minority
and was therefore restricted to such
smaller political divisions where its
members formed a majority. For this
reason, then, the Irish-American was
unable to exert influence on national
legislation except by special efforts OF
the most costly character, which it
would be hard to continue in the fu-
ture. On the other hand, the influence
of the Irish-American group has been
nil with the executive branch of the
government. There is not perceptible,
in the present administration the least
concern for the wishes or the will OF
citizenship elements not of Anglo
Saxon stock"
