The Chicago Foreign Language Press Survey was published in 1942 by the Chicago Public Library Omnibus Project of the Works Progress Administration of Illinois. The purpose of the project was to translate and classify selected news articles that appeared in the foreign language press from 1855 to 1938. The project consists of 120,000 typewritten pages translated from newspapers of 22 different foreign language communities of Chicago.
There was an article in number 23 of Lietuva about the Lithuanian Alliance of America. Such an alliance among the Lithuanians is very essential. A few years ago there was organized a Lithuanian science society. This society failed because it criticized the Catholic religion, priests, etc. The leaders of this organization did not care about the church, faith and the benefits of the Catholic religion.
We must organize all Lithuanian societies in Chicago to join the Lithuanian Catholic Alliance of America.
This Lithuanian Catholic Alliance of America has already published a history of Lithuania written by Simonis Daukantas. This book will be given free to all members of the Lithuanian alliance.
It is the time for our Lithuanians in Chicago to join this organization, we will do good not only for ourselves but to the Catholic faith and to our mother Lithuania.
