He de clared that "It Is the most Insidious form of treason to teach novels, poems and short stories which have popuhfiized a realism that scoffs at our American moralities and an ideal which justifies the free self-expression of a superman or a superpeople at tho expense of the weak." "What has been called 'red-blooded' patriotism," he continued, "must not merely express itself thtough the hatred jf what Is undemocratic in the Herman language, but of evety similar Ideal and attitude of mind in American literature Itself "If ever our own American literature is not purely and fully democratic. If It er-hocH tl" unmnralltles and the te morselrss self-exptesslnn of modern 'lerman thought.
