All we have asked them to do precedent to embracing citizenship is to indicate an intention of remaining with us by establishing a residence and later forswearing allegiance to the head of the government they had left. Under this humane policy our citizenship has expanded amazingly and our social and economic prestige and influence increased correspondingly. To sustain this proposition I need neither marshal statistics nor invoke the utterance or writing of a single philosopher. historian. or statesman. The magnitude. power. and grandeur of the nation are monuments which the toil. thrift. and patriotism of the immigrant contributed no small share in erecting. If an abundance of good and very little harm has come of absorbing into our citizenship these worthy foreigners. Is there any need of alarm?
