Continuing, he said “‘the Citizens' Advisory Council is as much like an elective body as possible. Dur- ing the past 11 months it had about 55 meetings besides muci committee work. The securing of a greater amount of official recognition on Capitol Hill is the greatest accomplish- ment of this committee. “Both houses of Congress refer all matters to the Citizens' Advisory Councll when they are referred to the Commissioners of the District. The reports of this body have reflected credit upon it. Often objections have been made on the reports, but only by small groups.” The itizens' Advisory Council ap- proved the recommendation of the ‘Woman's Bureau of the Police De- partment, also to give equal property rights to women. The most important thing, in Mr, Suter’s opinion, is the Americanization of the District of Columbia. That ts for the citizens of the District to be able to deposit ballots and to elect electors of the President and Vice President and Representatives. “The people of the District of Columbia | have less rights than allens, and can’ look others square in the eye because they have no vote, no representation— they are nobody's child. More schools, better roads, etc., are needed, but American citizenship is more needed than anything else in order that the District people shall have self-respect- ing manhood and womanhood.
