Corra Harris Declares

Thrift will go a long ways toward
relieving existing snpigl and economic
conditions, says Mrs. Harris, iii in
terview discussing the present state
of the country’s unreal. American
women have a great opportunity to
teach saving, she says, but declares
they must “cease to he the Vampires
end become the domestic economists
Of American civilization.”
"We have now to deal in this coun
try with a new and until recently un
discovered class, which we may call
the-American Alien Class; born of
good Anglo-Saxon and alien bloods,
but who has become ' the Vinder-alnd-
fes of the Calahan hordes of Europe;
Who have dieen shipped to this coun
try at the rate of 800,000 and more
a year, until now there are literally
millions of them,” is the' sweepfng
statement of Mrs. Harris.
"Before the great war we called
them immigrants. Now we know
them to be the Red Radicals, the So
cialists, Anarchists, Annihilists, Titu*
Jar..Deities of the I. W. W. and many
ether destructive agencies in this
country. They nre the spawn of the
... jnental, moral and physical degener
acy of foreign countries."
"The. American alien to whom I re
fer for years has been thej under-study
of tlijs Onfabah. He sometimes was a
pin dent of our universities, listening
to lectures from a scholarly Bolshe
vik professor, but more often a man of
pimple worth, who welcomed a now
idea .simply because it was new. not
because it had any worth, and be
cause he never had studied or been
Informed ns to the glory anti worth
of the ideals upon which hie own civ
ilization was founded.”
.Not Labor Unrest
"What we suppose to )jp labor un
rest in U?i: ; country is pojjsuch thing.
It is‘ the Calalmn"turfs of a de-
gcuefhte timmigrant class, crawling
up out bf- the. mud of horrible things,

gahee .arid thinking tftat the tiling we
have made—this' Government—will
last forever, without support. It will
not. No matter what are views are
or what candidate we vote for, we
must-do some active, constructive
work to mend these breaches.
Thrift Means Security
"Now the Government has .establish*
ed a thrift and saving movement—the
first agency deliberately planned for
this purpose. The desire is that every
man, woman and child literally shall
become a stockholder in the" Govern
ment of the United States, by buying
these certificates (stamps) and by
these methods of saving.
"We are to invest what otherwise
we would waste in these purchases.
We are to save even in order t6 make
these purchases of what are really
Thrift notes, though they are called
stamps. The security back of them
is the entire-wealth of. this country—
the beat security in the world. The
interest on them is good, but that
is not the only or chief reason for
buying them. The chief reason is to
begin r.ow with the younger genera
tion, especialy, to cultivate the habit
6f economy and ti^give them a sense
of proprietorship in the Government.
Men and women who have that will
not undertake to destroy it as the re
cently developed Alien Americans and
Alien immigrants are trying to do.
“When you own stock in 4 thing,
not merely n ballot, you are. going
to stand by it and see that it does
not fail or full. This i«' why wo
ought to support the thrift note
(Btampi movement. It places .a ma
terial insurance upon the patriotism
of our children and it develops in
those children the right fuibits
economy.
