As I was saying when interrupted. the great ipUrpose of the bill -.ill be the rallying of an educational propa:ganda for Americanism. -The American people themselves must be taught more sympathy. tolerance. -and underst.nding of the iroblems of the foreign born. The exclusiveness of the native lborn .has as -much as anything else driven the foreign born to live together in colonies. Out of this must be worked some definite program where the foreign born and the native born -can mingle -and become acquainted with each -other. We had during the war fourminute men. bureaus. posters. Why should we not have them now. speakers from bureaus simfiilar to those. going out among these people. pamphlets to be provided for them in the -various languages. to present in simple words the Constitution of the United States. the governmental machinery .of the State. lives of .great Americans. and .public men who have stood for -great American ideais. the lex1perience of successful immigrants in America. and so forth? I have seen them in the Great Northwest on trains. a whole fanily who had just come to this country. -and none of whom could speak the English languagd. They were going -up to that land of opportunity.
