sity of Maryland-to institute gradu-
ate courses for the training of teachers
to carry on Americanization work in
elementary schools and colleges.

with anti-American doctrines, this
group plans to start active warfare
against the invaders"
Americans Held Unaware.
DR.. Manginell, psychiatrist with
the Postgraduate Hospital and Medi-
cal School at Columbia University,
stated that Americans themselves are
unaware of what is happening in their
own country; that 'insidious propa-
ganda is breaking down the bulwark
of American democracy as set forth
in the principles of George Wash
ington and Thomas Jefferson" and
that unless some one now starts
q counter r-movement against the
enemies within the Republic revo-
luton might take place" He charged
that the young mind is being poi ,
soned, that paid propagandists are /
constantly at work breaking down .
the principles of American democracy.
Father David, who was the last
court chaplain at the court of En-
peror Karl " of Hungary, has been .
in America since the overthrow OF .
the Hungarian monarchy, laboring
among American-Hungarians He .
claims his people are being weaned .
away from certain principles their .
forefathers in America loved and /
cherished" The same charge was
made by most members who attended
the meeting.
A Nation wide campaign will be IN
augurated to enlist leaders of the 81
organized nationalities in America,
asking them to join forces with the
1nter-Racial Civic and Educational
Alliance of America-in the fight
against un-Americanism.

and women, and that these groups |
are rapidly advancing numerically
while native stock is on the Wane, the
committee members call attention to
the danger in letting European in
duences run rampant in America"
At the same time the committee
this morning outlined plan whereby
foreign-born Americans might be
made conscious of their superiority
merely because they have the oppor-
tunity to live on American soil"

The political and economic leaders OF

foreign born people"-mostly because
these leaders are false prophets.
