Country Endangered, Report
Of Anericanization Conn
mittee Says

The United States must safe
guard itself from the menace of
both Americans and foreigners
living IN this country who do not
believe in the ideals Of our form
Of government, Miss Alice Louise
McDuffee Of Michigan, ranking
vice president general, warned
the Daughters Of the American
Revolution today.
Miss McDuffee, who is chair
man of the Americanization COM
mittee, declared that the country
is in grave danger of being under
mined from within unless patriotic
Americans take active steps IN
helping to prepare the immigrant
for the highest type Of citizen
ship Immediately upon his arrival.
unfortunately, there are both
Americans and those of foreign
birth who do not. believe in our
form of government and who can
not perpetuate the ideals of our
forefathers who founded this Re-
public" she said.
Holds Problem Vital
MANY of the foreign born come
from lands of oppression whore
they formed the habit of discon-
tent. They came gladly to this
land of opportunity, but those who
might have helped them most We're
thoughtless and engrossed in their
own affairs, and when false pro-
phets came it was easy for them
to view America with disillusioned
eyes,"
Miss McDuffee asserted there
must be a friendship for the foreign
born by patriotic Americans who
live good citizenship as well as
preach it.
Nothing is more vital TO the
maintenance of our country than
Immediately and unitedly solving
this problem WELL" she said.
The various chapters of the
Daughters of the American Revo,u-
ton donated $4,000 during the
past year toward Americanization
work, she said.

has been doing at Ellis Island, New
