The author examines national disunity and the failure to translate prosperity into cohesive civic purpose, arguing that the nation lacks a coordinated policy for assimilation, education, and organized national service. She criticizes superficial preparedness, competing local and sectional interests, and the persistence of foreign loyalties among immigrant communities, and documents government neglect in promoting naturalization and civic instruction. The work urges constructive federal leadership to foster Americanism through citizenship training, clearer immigrant policies, and programs to bind voters and institutions, proposing practical reforms to strengthen national unity, broaden popular participation, and improve readiness for international responsibilities.
