AMERICAN SCHOOLS
DESCRIBED AS SAFE ~
FROM DISLOYALTY
WASHINGTON., Aug., 14. (AP)—
There is no necessity for the gener
al public to become exeited about un-
Tatriotic propaganda seeping into the
schools of the United States, Milton
Fairchild, chairman of the Charac
ter Education Institution said recent
sly in a reply to a letter sent out by
Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, presi
dent-general of the Daughfers of
the American Revolution.
Mrs. Cook warned state regents of
her organization against the ‘‘activ
ities of those who are knowingly and
deliberately disloyal to our govern
. ment and our political institutions,’’
but Mr. Fairchild asserted that the
schoof authorities were competent to
handjs the situation, and that is was:
impossible for disloyal acivities or
rropaganda to get a start in the
schools.
‘‘The bards of education,” he
said, “are made up of trustworthy
"citizens, supenintendents and super
vigsors over the hody of teachers.
In he rletter Mrs. Cook said the
“Youth Movement” aimed at the heart
of “our most sacred and moral found
ations and will, if promulgated in
our secndary schools and colleges,
alm to destroy the moral figre of our
girls and boys.”’ Pacifist groups, she .
declared, ‘have even invaded our‘
schoods with their doctrines. Indeed
one group has a widely advertised
set of illustrated ‘school literature,’
especitally devnsed fr its prpose, and
comments in its circular upon its
stccess and popularity. The Daught
ers of the American Revolution
“mean to oppose with all the vigor
and strength of their beings any in
dividual or groups if individuals who
would substitute for our great insti
tutions of government untried theor
ies and dangerous communiss doc
trines.”
Mr, Fairchild, in his answer, sets
forgx that he personally interviewed
Mrs. Cook and others, asking for the
sources f, their information. These |
had been given, but ypon ‘nvestiga
tion they were found to ‘“have no re
liable detailed information.” He said

DEFEND ALCOHOL ON
CHRISTIAN GROUNDS
. LONDON, July 12 (AP)—America
is being used as the horrible example
by the English anti-prohibitionists
in their increasingly frequent meet--
ings over England.
The Rev. Wyndham Heathcote, of
Maidstone, recently addressed a
meeting at the Corn Exchange, dur
ing which he described the working
of the illicit drink traffic in the
United States as he observed it on
a recent trip. He produced canes,
dummy books and even a cigar cap
\ able of carrying small quantities of
Iliquor which he stated were used
with many other novelities in a con
tinual of unlawful service. America
[under prohibtion, he declared had be
come a more corrupt, more criminal
;‘and drunken nation.
~ The speaker said he opposed pro
hibition because it was subversive to
'democracy and was opposed to Chris
tianity. The democracy in him, he
said, was to strong to allow him to
comrel his neighbor to do what he
did not want to do in the conduct of
his private affairs. There were some
matters with meither dovernments
nor majorities had anything to do
whatever. They had no right, he
maintained, to interefere with the way
in which the individuals worshipped
no right to dictate the choice of the
woman a man should marry, and no
right to order what should be eateni
and drunk. In regard to religion he
challenged any Christian to tell him ]
that wine was wrong when Chr!st‘

~ Dr. H. 'H. Henson, the Bishop of
‘Durham, is another opponent of pro
hibition and is of the opinion that
“‘coercion is not a legitimate method
of advancing morality.” Speaking
a 7 a recent Rotary Club meeting here
he said:
