of the Americanism Commission of
the American Legion. lased upon

Powell. are Germany. Denmark
Switzerland, Holland. Finland, Nor
way. Sweden. Scotland. England.
Wales and France. "The 1920 census
showing that more than five million
persons, or six percent. of the Ameri-
can population. are illiterate. is too
low. becausn "a confession of Hitter
acy to census taker was necessary
to enroll the person among those who
can neither read nor write" Mr.. Pow
ell declared This made it easy for
the illiterate to conceal. his ignorance.
since there was no test of literacy."
Immigrants Cause Gain
A gain in illiteracy of 1l7.344 in
twelve States during the period 1910
1920, was. for the most part, due to
those States having received the
greatest influx of immigrants during
the last decade. according to the
statement.
THE American Legion is appalled,
at the discovery of Americas low
standing" he said. THE correction
of this deplorable state of affairs vii
