Roosevelt ultimatum on Americanism calls for perfect citizens
Colonel Roosevelt in Springfield frames a political platform demanding 100 percent American loyalty to win the war. He insists Congress members must fight energetically, uphold liberty at home and abroad, break up empires, and prove their deeds match words with no family shirks. He also notes substitutes from Canadian publishing as a model for wartime civic virtue.
