It was given front page attention by many of the great metropolitan dailies and has received favorable editorial comment from many more. The program of the Council at present is receiving editorial support from the Toronto Star, the Winnipeg Free Press, the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Evening Post, the Chicago Journal of Commerce, the New York Evening Post and others, the Louisville Times, all the Minneapolis papers, and hosts of others. In the selection of our honorary officers and our national board of advisers we tried to avoid duplication of the personnel of the many permanent national organizations, which are giving us their whole-hearted assistance. It was assumed that the officers and boards of these societies were already for us. We have tried rather to emphasize the varied interests that are involved in our many-sided and far-reaching project — its economic, public-health, recreational, scientific, historic, educational and humanitarian sides as well as its peace aspects. Many points of view are represented. We have wanted to get the best experience and the sincerest opinion that could be found, regardless of previous alignments. Nearly every class of people as well as every interest is represented. Poets, artists and musicians are included, because it is recognized that out of regions like the Rainy Lake watershed come the song and story of the nation. We believe that our plan is vital to all true Americans and involves spiritual conservation as much as physical. We now have huge public support and the movement is rapidly growing. On the other hand it will be bitterly fought by a few powerful interests. We shall have a constant struggle to keep our heads above water. Unlimited faith, courage, and patience will be required. It will be a real test of strength for those who love their original America. The Council is now carrying on a campaign in the.state of Minnesota for a fund of f35,000 to promote the work of the Council until a treaty between Canada and the United States can be achieved. We have finance and executive committees of the highest character, assuring that the money will be wisely spent. It is our hope to keep in closer and closer touch with our national friends, who have so generously permitted the use of their names and in so many other ways have aided us. We are therefore enclosing for your information our latest printed matter. We are eager at all times for your suggestions and for any further assistance you may feel justified in giving us, especially in making our program known and in extending its influence. We are profoundly grateful to you for the high honor of your co-operation. Sincerely yours, -. , Address all communications for the Treasurer to J. G. Byam, First National Bank, Minneapolis* All others, unless otherwise instructed, to the General Office.
