Denver is that we overestimate
the value of the things we are
doing. Some of us are prone to
think we are doing enough but
we cannot do enough until we
do all we can do and do it as a
part of comprehensive develop
ment plan.
We only need vision to look in
to the future and see the posi-
bilities that are ahead of Denver,
and the will to realize this future
in the present.

Alternatives Which Are
Faced Today by World
European Peoples Willing and
Eager to Adopt Our Form of
GOvernment.-Denver Destin-
ed to Be City of International
Influene.

"RUE Americanism must
emanate from the West.
Denver is the heart of the
continent and must furnish the
life blood. The future destiny of
the world rests in the hands of
the United States of America.
International leadership has
descended upon our shoulders.
How we discharge the duties of
this obligation depends greatly
upon our ability to make the
citizenry of the nation realize
the true position this country
now occupies.
In all the history of our coun-
try, it never has encountered a
more important crisis than at
present. We have become the
foremost world power and the
peoples of all the world are look
ing to us to redeem and save
them from obsolete and medieval
world conceptions.
We are called upon to play
the most important part in this
new world which is rising
phoenix-like from the ashes of
the world war conflagration. This
new world will be compelled to
accept one of two conditions:
Americanism or Bolshevism.
One or the other will triumph.
The world cannot be half and
half nor one-quarter and three
quarters. And the final outcome
is by no means certain at pres
ent. Victory cannot be assured
until every patriotic American
teels the insistent call and learns
to appreciate that the peoples OF
all the world are ready to accept
American democratic institu-
tions. AS every American was
called upon to defend his country
in the late war, so now every one
must be ready to fight in the
front ranks for true American
ism so government of the peo-
PIE, by the people and for the peo-
ple" may become the guiding
star of all the nations on earth
and may bring them closer to-
gether for world betterment.
Our conception of American
ism has widened in scope and
now has almost reached the bor-
der line of internationalism.
These thoughts were brought
home very vividly by the talk
this week of John Barrett, for
mer United States minister to
Siam and at present counselor
and advisor in international af-
fans in Washington, d. c., at a
Joint meeting of the real estate
and advertising bureaus OF the
Civic & Commercial association.
A more inspirational address
never has been made in this city.
The only deplorable feature in
connection with it was that the
great city auditorium was not
thrown open to all Denver so all
citizens could have had an oppor-
tunity to hear it.
Those who were fortunate
enough to hear Mr.. Barrett heard
the contentious of COMMUNITY
HERALD upheld, in that Denver
must become a city not only of
national but of world influence
and that from its heart must
come the inspiration which will

make for the fulfillment of our
high destiny.
Mr.. Barrett voiced the same
ideas that COMMUNITY HER
AID has expressed time and
again. If he had been a reader
Of COMMUNITY HERALD,
which, he has not, he could not
better have expressed our own
ideas. But he wasn't half as con-
servative as we have been, as
he had the advantage of being
a stranger in our midst and,
therefore, ran no risk of being
called an impractical visionary.
When a stranger tells us it
must be our purpose to play an
important part in world affairs,
that our city must become not
only a leader in national .lit in
international affairs. that il must
take the lead in pan-American
affairs, that it must become a
city toward which the world will
look for it's ideals and inspir-
ations, we who have almost been
making religion of Denver's
development cannot but feel we
have been travelling. the right
road.
In the face of such brilliant
future as Mr.. Barrett painted
for Denver we feel the attempts
we have made to arouse our fell
low citizens to more thoro con-
ception of the municipalities pos
sibilities have been but feeble
indeed. We promised ourself
then and there that we would
throw off the protecting cloak of
modesty and continue in a most
vigorous attempt to place Denver
in the foremost ranks of the
cities of the world.
Mr.. Barrett said the noun
tains which surround us-the
general geographic situation
should not constitute barrier
10 future development. Modern
transportation overcomes all
these obstacles. Boring of the
Moffat tunnel will put Denver on
trans-continental line. It's very
construction, he declared, makes
strong appeal to the imagina-
ton of the world. Peoples in
other states and other countries
will look upon Coloradoans and
citizens of Denver as real build
ers, as enterprising people who
refused to be halted by any OBJ
stacle, as people who are worth
knowing. Aside from its practical
industrial value, building the
Moffat tunnel will be one of the
biggest advertisements any state
ever gave itself.
A merchant marine now car
ries the Stars and Stripes to the
most remote parts of the globe.
No sacrifice we can make to keep
this up is too great. Our gov
ernment must continue to en-
courage ship building and, if nee
essary, must subsidize shipping.
The great Orient is awakening.
1t is only question of years un-
til the Chinese republic and all
! Asia, with their millions and mil
lions of inhabitants, will be ready
and eager for American COM
merce. 1t is only a matter of
years until our neighbor republic
-Mexico-will afford a hungry
market for Colorado-made goods
and when we will be able to ex-
tend American culture thruout
all the sister republics of South
America.
In this development, the city
of Denver and state of Colorado
must play an important part.
We have here ineXhaustible re-
sources in raw materials, almost
unlimited water power TO be de-
veloped, and nothing can stop
this development. One of our

greatest assets Is our lnVlgOrat'
ing climate which lures people
here and impells them to reach
for better things.
We, who are living today, may
retard or accelerate this de-
velopment. AS world progress
goes, a year can bring about
changes which formerly would
have taken a lifetime. The para
mount question with us must be /:
viii we be satisfied with nat
ural growth in Denver or will we
all put our shoulders to the wheel
and win for ourselves at least a
part of the realization of this
golden future?
In the fulfillment of this vision,
we are not called upon to bear
any sacrifices but we can enjoy
the fruits of our labors and en-
deavor as we pave the way to
this development.
In Americanizing the world,
we also will be solving our home
problems. 1t no longer will be
necessary to Americanize the
Italian, the Hungarian, the Slav,
CT any of the other immigrants,
who come knocking for admission
to our homeland, when we have
fulfilled the desires of virtually
all the peoples of the European
countries. We will not have to
force Americanization upon
them. THEY WANT 1T NOW.
This desire on their part to
adopt the American form of gov
ernment and many of our
methods of living was not
brought about by any political
propaganda but is the outcome
OF the realization of its practical
worth for the welfare of the peo-
pie.
Far be it from us to make the
claim that our institutions are
perfect, but we do assert they
are superior and based upon
greater justice to all than the
institutions of the old world. AS
a matter of fact, we can and do
learn much from the immigrant
whom we wish to Americanize.
He frequently is quicker to real
ize the advantages we enjoy here
in America than is the native
born American. He also is'able
TO tell us of some desirable ideas
which he has brought from his
homeland and which we may
adopt and improve upon to our
advantage. And because Amer
ica is the melting pot of the
world, it is here that the best
ideas of all the nations of the
globe are found merged into one
wonderful American ideal.
Our immigrants bring with
them different viewpoint which
we may capitalize, forming a
closer tie between the old country
and the new. He has standard
of comparison which we lack. By
using the knowledge he brings
we may pave the way to a better
understanding and to a more
friendly relationship with all the
people of the world. If the So
called millennium ever comes, it
will dawn in America.
Now is the time for Denver to
start some yearly event under
the title of The American Eesti-
val. That very word-Ameri-
can-has magic for all the world.
The surprising things is that our
native Americans have not been
able to grasp its great signifi-
cancc. Under this trademark
The American Festival-all our
commercial, artistic, industrial,
athletic and civic endeavors may
march united into a successful
future just as an army follows
its flag to victory
