HULL, SIOUX COUNTY, IOWA, FRIDAY, JUNE 21 1918 NUMBER 11 ftnnnr Harding a Dritor your information, jubmit the following copy of cir- sent by Governor Harding to all persons who have written him uitb re-ard to the interpretation of the foreign language proclamation. fl are sending this copy to all mem- of the County Councils of Defense udto all publishers of newspapers Iowa. Should the publishers desire to print the communication either in whole or in part, we respectfully re- qaeat that Saturday afternoon, June 15th, be observed the release date Yours truly, State Council of Defense.

"Your communication of recent date isbefore me. In this you make aom inquiry concerning the application the recent proclamation in regard to the use of the English language in thi itate. Because of the fact that German propaganda is being spread throughou a a i all foreign languages an (or the reason that there have ariser in many places in the state seriou conditions because some were apeak ing foreign languages, I deemed th proclamation necessary, and actin; rotest and heartilv endorse the pro- lamation. A broad and unselfish ac eptance of the spirit of the proclamation ia of course e.xpecttd from all. spirit in which the proclamation received is a good test of the wis om and necessity of it.

The sooner we learn to speak the English language the better, and the closer we confine the use of any other language to those who cannot apeak the English he greater will be the elimination of lerman propaganda in our state. The total elimination of the use of 'oreign language cannot be sccomp- ished in a few days but of necessity must be brought about gradually and by the realization that its mis-use is resulting in discord among our own patriotic people and in giving our enemies an opportunity to hinder the work of our government during these critcal time-s. Do not place any credence in the voice of those who say "the Governor did.not have any authority to issue the proclamation." I have plenty of authority for the issuance of the proclamation, and of course plenty of authority for its enforcement. I do not desirp to a trouble for anyone and am satisfied that when the whole matter is understood, and ap- proach'ed in the proper spirit, there will be none left in the state who will insist upon i the a i which issued the a a i Some have suggested that it is a Red Cross "Notes Local and National his American government expounded and to find out what a great the pulpit is to 'bring the Christian citizen to a fuller realization of theii calling as members of great Commonwealth. upon authority in me vested issued the Baorifice not to Ufle a foreign language proclamation A careful reading of the proclamation, copy of which is enclosed, and a reasonable interpretation of it, will as lure you that it doea not hamper the use of a foreign language purpose of reaching, where the hearts of any people for patriotic ind various war activities.

No offense should be taken by loynl Americana of foreign birth or descent for the proclamation in no instance clasaei anyonewith our common enemy Itis confined strictly to Jhe using of foreign languages, all of which arc a medium of German propaganda, The Italians of UesMoinea, in a sign ad resolution, have heartily endorsed exclusively. Already, Iowa has sent in the neighborhood of fiO.OOO bojs in to the service of our country. Each one of these boys has made a supreme sacrifice. I am sure that none desiri to remain at home and complain that they are a i sacrifices when realize how much it means to these young men who a ua. Those who a the proclamation in the spirit in i it was issued will receive every from me.

Tha Bohemians of Cedar Rapids, who were moat vigorous in their protest, having come to a full realization of the motive that prompted the issuance of the proe.lflmation, fully understanding the interpretation of it, have now withdrawn their The proclamation will stand. Take it the spirit in which it was issued. In a short time, all will see the win- don! of the movement atarted to have one language throughout the state.

And there never was a time in the nation's history when good grain storage buildings were as essential to the farmers and to the nation as right now.

Seed grain is valuable. It must be properly protected. More stock means more granaries to teed from. And to do his patriotic duty In assisting transportation, the farmer should be able to store more of his gram tor later delivery.
