! their own language. and declared that
those papers are advocating the over
throw of the American institutions
Referring 10 the intense campaign
which the Lenine and Trotsky elements
are carrying on, Chancellor McGown de-
clared that the Red radical workers are
coming into this country from Canada
from Mexico and as stowaways on steam
ships for the express purpose Of putting
over their nrogram in this country.
Ir0tsky and Lenine men are in the labor
unions and are planning TO get the
unions organized on a platform of Red
radIcalism. He said there were $50 col
leges with liberal forums and the heads
OF these forums are almost all radicals.
Some of the teachers and professors are
being lined up with them and some of
them are using text books written by
Lenine and Trotsky.

gotten his facts straight and that he

II is no longer time when this is a
land for ths people and by the people. the
speaker said. adding that he was ashamed
OF his state in the recent election because
50 many voters did not go to the polls
and because 100000 people who voted
on that day did not vote on the referen-
dun regarding the 18th amendment
In the opinion of Chancellor McGown.
4 commission should be appointed by the
United States government which would
handle the immigration problem without
hIndrance on the part of the government
and which would know that only the
best of the foreign elements were allowed
to come here and only those who would
agree TO become American citizens within
given time limit and To conform to
other regulations which should be pro-
mulgated. The Woman's club, the d. A.
r., the public schools ought to be preach
ing good citizenship and living before
the immigrant as if we thought the laws
OF this land were worth while.
One OF the first things which impresses
the foreigner, said the chancellor, is the
lack of respect for law. Men and women
are beginning to feel that they cannot
get justice in the courts.
The one thing which will solve the
who'll problem is the spirit of the nan of
GaIilce, who was himself a foreigner,
but who brought the greatest teaching
that of the brotherhood of man.
Previous TO the address by Chancellor
McGown there was a brief business ses-
sion of the club, in which several an
nouncements were made, including the
statement that after a careful check-uu

club members voted at the recent cleo
ton. In explaining the absence of the
other third the president, Mrs. ". ].
