Here we are trying to follow the advice of Washington and take the first step toward providing for the diffusion of knowledge among our alien arrivals. and here we are setting up requirements that will enable the foreigner who desires to come here to read and learn for himself of American institutions. It is high time -hat some of our citizens who come here from foreign countries and swear allegiance to the American flag. were showing their unwillingness to permit all kinds of foreigners to come into our country. If these men really love our country. they are in favor of immigration laws that will permit only worthy and desirable people to come. If they do not agree with us that something should be done to. prevent undesirable and unfit foreigners from coming here. then we may well ponder the question whether we shall preserve the Republic in all its integrity for our children and our childrens children or permit It to become the dumping ground for the scum and refuse of every country on the globe. Here. in full view of the likeness of Washington and -looking upon Old Glory. our countrys flag. let us reconsecrate our hearts. our strength. and our all to the highest and best interest of our country.
