John A. Lapp, LL. D., director of the division of social action in the National Catho- lic War council, in an article in the current issue of the National Catholic War Council Bulletin, published in ‘Washington. ; His scathing denunciation of the bogus patriotism of big business apol- ogists, flag-wrapped but disloyal to every American ideal of human de- . - cency, is from the politicians’ stand- point one of the most disturbing : events of a mational campaign which seemed certain to prove wholly satis- factory to Wall street and to its listen- ers-in and deadfall specialists in the“ It comes as a shock to - Northwest. politicians who believed that with the suppression . of the “radical” Inter- church World Movement the organized churches of ‘the United States would keep still for a while. Now Wall street wonders whether it has not got to organize a vast and expensive cam- Ppaign to discredit clergymen of all de- nominations, high or low, who may cry out against what big business is about to accomplish under the name ° of patriotism and Americanism. One of the first duties undertaken by the social action bureau of the Na- tional Catholic War council, says Doc- tor Lapp, was to lobk over the field of so-called Americanization, and see what the various schemes were worth. It took only a‘brief glance to show lnm that there were, in many quarters, “sinister attempts to control the pro- grams of Americanization, for the purpose of promoting special interests and thwarting the efforts toward so- cial justice.” “During the war,” he reports, “many such bogus efforts were carried on, with some success, and the belief in the power of propaganda seemed to be fixed in the programs of selfish in- terests. With clever publicity ma- terial and agencies, the people were fooled into supporting certain causes or in opposing others by the glamour of ‘patriotism, SELFISHNESS POSES AS PATRIOTISM “Reactionary groups which never had done anything to indicate interest in the promotion- of good citizenship suddenly arrayed themselves in the livery of Americanism and went forth to interpret American ideals to immi- grant peoples. Underneath the cloak, however, it was painfully evident to the mind trained to observe the sub-- tleties of propaganda, the same old game of concealing selfish purposes in the flow of patriotic words.” Let organized farmers in Minnesota and South Dakota and Nebraska, who went through the terrerism-and perse- cution of 1917, 1918 and 1919, answer as to whether Doctor Lapp speaks truly. It is as though he had himself felt the clubs and the tar and feathers of the “Americanization” meted out to friends of social justice when the Nonpartisan league opposed the flag- draped profiteers. “The program of reaction, garbed in the livery of patriotism,” he proceeds, “seemed to be directed toward the dis- crediting of progressive measures for social justice, and particularly the de- struction of the organizations of labor. The program served as an accelerator of reaction; it focused in legislatures, where, instead of progressive recon- struction measures to meet the needs of the times, was found the most ab- ject surrender to reactionary senti- ments and forces. It appears almost incredible that any one could expect the American people to be fooled so long and continuously as the work of ‘some of these agencies would seem to indicate. Lincoln once said that ‘You can fool all the people part of the time, .and part of the people all the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time.” The blind reactionary interests -seemed to think that there was no limit to the fooling of all the people, provided ample funds were: available for clever propaganda.” Here again the eminent divine seems to have had Minnesota and the Dakotas in mind—the stubborn reac- ‘tionary program of the flag—monop- olist hypocrites in control in Minne- sota and -South ‘Dakota on the one hand and their minority of hate-poi- soning specialists in the North Dakota legislature on the other. With a ver- bal whip of scorpions he drives these fakers into the light of day. PEOPLE SEE THROUGH . MASK OF DECEPTION “The fall of these bogus patriotic schemes appears to be almost as cer- tain as their rise was quick,” is his observation. = “Practically all over- reached the mark, and many of them stand today stripped of their veneer of patriotism, showing exactly what they are. “The-idea of disguising sinister pur- poses under the mantle of patriotism is not mew to the Catholic people of this country. Throughout almost our entire history Catholic . institutions have been attacked by organizations calling themselves Guardians of Liber- ty, the American Protective associa- tion and similar self-glorifying titles. These organizations, disguised with patriotic symbols, sought only harm to the Catholic church. The Ameri- canism and liberty part of these or- ganizations were merely camouflage for their real purposes. We have a repetition of that same idea today in the efforts to break down the ideals of social justice, against which big com- mercial interests are arrayed. * * % “Nothing needs to be done more than the promotion of-the ideals of America among natives and immi- grants alike, and to that purpose should be dedxcated the co-operative effort of all forward-looking groups. But little can ‘be done toward real Americanization until the propaganda of selfish interests is broken down. “So many schemes with ulterior commercial motives are being pushed throughout the country as to endanger the integrity of the whole movement .-and call for plain-spoken condemna- tion. 'We denounce such schemes as being un-American. We declare it to be unspeakable for any man or group of men or corporate interest to-use a patriotic disguise to capitalize present conditions for a selfish purpose. “Deliberate efforts to promote pop- ular hysteria and wild fears, with the direct object of promoting reaction, are matters of common observation.” Here again the recent conduct of anti-labor and anti-farmer politicians in the primary campaign in Minnesota and North Dakota, may well have been Doctor Lapp’s immediate text. The story of Senator Gronna’s use of the phrase “red flag” has become notori- ous, even in the sensation-hardened East. “Recently it has been announced,” says Doctor Lapp, “that commercial PAGE SIXTEEN ADVERTISEMENTS rful $4.00 shirts foronly $5.25. 5.
