Alien Property Sold to Americans. .
No civilian service dnrinjc the war
liad a.s farreachinj: effect upon the life
and well hein.!^ of the American public
as that performed b.v Mr. Palmer as
the custodian of alien i>roperty. Un
der his adirnni.*?!ration the vast and
essential industries which Gcnnany
controlled in the United States were
tnken over and operated during the
war for the benefit of this country, and
are now beinp sold—many of them
have been sold already—to bona fide
American citizoiis. In fact, under Mr.
Pal mer's direction the entire (Jerman
industrial ov^nnizaticsn in the T’nited
States has heoii thoroughly American
ized.
When the oHlce of Alien Properly
r?ust<>dian A\ as created under the '!'r;id-
inp: with till' Kiiemy Act of (’c'!i:j:n‘ss
it was Ihop.ulit that its duties wovdd
be perftinciory and its accomplish
ments of little consequeiice. So it
mlpht have boon under the ad’Minis-
trjition of :i man l«ss ind>ued with th.e
fspirit of Americanism and detonniiu d
to use it to the fullest advantajr*' of
his fell ow cou!'.tryi<'cn.

ance which wHI carry on to Its logical
ooiicliifdon Jlit* v.’ork of Attorney Gen
eral Mitchell Palmer in awakening the
peop!“ of ibe iiarion to a realization of
!h(*ir peril fre:n iiie enfiimy within and
pro; ecting the government with a firm
hr.i'-d from those v.ho sought to over
throw it by force and violence.
Americanism and Americanization f*
fo be (lie watchword of the churchei^
and tiie Christian jicople of the coup-
try, wdio have* caught the note from the
revciile sounded by Mr. Palmer, #ill
see to it that a man alive to the great
question and of jjroved capacity to
carry on tlie great work that' is being
lanncl'.ed is put at the head of affairs
of government in this country.
To these nnllions of earnest people
who see in Ihe sai'eiy of the country,
home and fireside the overshadowing
issue of the future, regardless of poli
tics or politicians, there can be no step
backward now that the forward move
ment is on, and the m.an who appeals
to them most strongly as measuring up
to the highest standard of American
ism and who.se dee<l.s are test-proof of
his ld:-di purpose to bring his whole
couniry to a realization of the loftiest
ideals of citizenship will receive their
undivided support in primary, election
and in the administration of his high
office. ‘
Before the great campaign of Ameri
canism to be undertaken by the Protes
tant clmrch organizjitions is well under
way it would not be surprising to find
the percentage in the alliance grow to
a round 100 per cent, representing 100
per cent Aruericanlsm.
The great hierarcliy of the Roman
Catholic Clmrc]) in the United States
is heart and soul with the movements
for Americanization iind will lend Its
full strength to the promotion through
the far-reaching clinnnels of the
church of the prea(‘iiing iiud teaching'
of staunch Americanism to tb.e many;
miUions of its congregutK>n within thtf
Unltv.‘d States. '
A itastoral letter, th? first issued by'
the heads of the Catholic Ciiurch in’
the United States in o.") years, has re
cently gone to all its people, in which
the fcdlowing paragraph is not the
least in importatice of the declarations,
of tlie letter: •
“V,'i.;)f(.ver u'ay bo the In'e.’sirhd and'
social reiK'dies wdiich will approve
tliemselvcs to the American people,
there is one thi?l. we feel confident,
they will never adopt. That is the
method of revolution. For it there is
neither ju ^tliication nor excuse under
our form of government. Through tlie
ordina.ry and orderly proc(>ss('s of edu
cation, organizati<m ar.<' ii'gisiation all
social wrongs can be righted. While
these processes at times ma.v seem dis
tressingly slow, they wil! achieve more
in the final resuU than vhdence or rev
olution. The radicalism and worse
than radicalism of the labor movement
in some of the countries of Europe has
no lesson for the W(U'k( rs of the Fnit-
ed States except as an example of
methods to be detested and avoided.” >
Thus the churches and their people
in tile United State's stand united in a
dot(‘rmined movement to look to the
future seciuity of the governn.ient of
tlieir country and the peace and happi-
nc -sg of its peo])!e. In tbiis, as in man^
similar movements which liave v.'*’itten
history, it is more a, question o£ the
man than tiie measure. ,
