Biography
The Allied Loyalty League was founded in 1919, and apparently dissolved in 1922. Its stated purpose was to promote greater international amity among the allied nations after World War I, build up and maintain a greater spirit of Americanism, and to combat such propaganda likely to disturb friendly international relations. The organization was founded by Alice Tappan Ditson and its first president was Maurice F. Egan. The League included such prominent New Yorkers as Grace Bigelow, Robert Underwood Johnson and Charles H. Towne. Though its original purpose was to promote support during post-war negotiations for the allies of the United States, principally France and Great Britain, it soon became a forum for those opposed to Irish Republicanism, communism and the League of Nations.
