We must discover America to lem, wnp i means more than the lowledge of the map of the United ites and a great deal more than a lple form of government. We must iveal to them the fact that America a soul, that the real America is the >irit of our Democratic society in lich every citizen meets every other Itizen on equal level politically and Jo. any other basis according to his [gifts and achievements.

If Kan talk together we can think Ether and act together in support >ur ideals. As the fifty nations filing through the doors of our 7-wiT must teach them that are the fires of God,, that they come to, and that their old na- .al feuds, race hatred and petty ousics which save divided the ons of Europe for centuries, must plotted out and forgotten. If the erican soldiers, representing all I racial groups: billeted together ihe battle fields -of France wear- thc khaki, could pull together as dies" and comrades in time of in a strange land, under the stars surely these same citizens can live to- ur land of freedom in time as neighbors, friends and tizens under the same flag and stripes, The Effective Plan outlineAJhe„probleni «..j gested the solution.

More than 200 Fools have been covered with ?dnea*£P^ Lodcres. churches and cluha have ttk Jietitioned the Bureau for speakers, n all meetings held by United Am- ericans there has been free distribu- tion of brief loyalty pamphlets. 50,- 000 copies of the United States Con- stitution have been distributed. It is estimated that in addition to the people reached through our printed pamphlets and Speakers' Bureau an- other million have been reached through reprints in house organs and the public press. These articles ocarrying the purpose and scope of service of United Americans have been circulated through all the middle and western states by the United Press. The Chicago and Illinois dailies have been quite liberal in running the matter of United Am- ericans. "The policy of the organization is to pursue constructive and education- al methods. It is deemed that ab- usive language is nowhere per- missable; that the arguments of the Reds and milder Socialists must be answered with argument; that the American people will reason these questions over and that it is our duty" to show them the other side, from that which is usually preached from the soap-box. There were sec- tions in the city of Chicago where our patriotic speakers and the Am- erican flag were not safe upon the street corner/ but effort is being made through the fall and winter to establish proper auspices in every section of the city and by the eternal God our message of Americanism will be carried into every section of Chicago through the summer months. "The allegiance of the un-American masses to the principles of our con- stitution and the ideals of our Am- erican traditions may be assured by our persistent nation-wide campaign of education in-the interest of these things which are as sacred to us as our lives and fortunes. We believe that under God and the Stars and Stripes and the American Constitu- tion our resourceful American peo- ple, combining in the fusion of blood of fifty nationalities the best gifts and genius of all nations will be able to build upon these broad prairies and fertile fields and the sure found- ations laid by our forefathers a na- tion that will stand forever as a monument and bulwark to the de- fense of humanity right to life, lib- erty and the pursuit of happiness."
