OUR NATIONAL PROBLEMS
Americanization
By ROYAL DIXON
$0.50
What are we doing to Americanize the alien? How can we make sure that he will emerge from the melting-pot willing to support and to contribute to our institutions? These are the questions which Mr. Dixon asks and to which he offers a clear and simple answer, broad and practical in vision. His suggestions are more than merely constructively patriotic—they are stirringly hopeful.
The Heritage of Tyre
By WILLIAM BROWN MELONEY
$0.50
The first, direct, uncompromising demand for a new American mercantile marine. Mr. Meloney points out the opportunity that is now ours, the opportunity to recover our lost sea prestige and to set our flag waving again in every great port of the world. Not only is this merchant marine needed by our commerce—it is absolutely necessary and indispensable to the support of a truly adequate navy. The United States must be a vassal on the seas no longer.
Their True Faith and Allegiance
By GUSTAVUS OHLINGER
With an Introduction by Owen Wister
$0.50
A fair, impartial discussion of German propaganda in America describing the methods in use and the results achieved.
“For the sake of the facts that it gathers, this book should be read not once, but two or three times, by all Americans who believe in Union, in Lincoln, and in Liberty—worth keeping in mind and dwelling upon, not merely to-day, but during many to-morrows. It bears upon the future of our national health.”—Owen Wister.
The Forks of the Road
By WASHINGTON GLADDEN
$0.50
Awarded the prize offered by the Church Peace Union for the best essay on war and peace.
A powerful indictment of war which calls upon the political and religious forces of our country to give up preparedness programs and to follow a policy that will make for the prevalence of peace. Never has Dr. Gladden written with such fervor and inspiration; his book goes straight to the heart of our national problem; without cant or sentimentalism, he shows the course true Americanism must take.
“A wise and noble essay.”—Independent.
“Not since Mercier, Archbishop of Malines, gave his now famous pastoral letter to the world has more eloquence and truth been compressed into so small a space.”
The Pentecost of Calamity
By OWEN WISTER
Boards, $.50
“One of the most striking and moving utterances.... Let all Americans read it.”—The Congregationalist.
“It is written with sustained charm and freshness of insight.”—New York Times.
“It is a flaming thing, itself a tongue of Pentecost.”—Boston Advertiser.
“Mr. Wister’s artistic power at its best.”—Philadelphia Ledger.
“A strong book which sets out to be just a passionate plea to America to find its own soul.”—Rabbi Stephen S. Wise.
“In ‘The Pentecost of Calamity’ Owen Wister sees and speaks as a prophet. With rare spiritual insight and sympathy he penetrates to the real meaning of the world tragedy under whose shadow we are living. I am glad we have an American writer able to speak the voiceless longing of an awakened world.”—Rev. Charles A. Eaton, Pastor of the Madison Avenue Baptist Church.
