The gentleman unfortunately stops at a point in his remarks where the quotation might give to those not familiar with the entire text a totally]. wrong impression.. The: gentleman! read as follows. reading from the President"sg address: There are citizens of the United States. I blush to. admit. born under other flags but welromed under our generous naturalization laws to the. full freedom and. opportunity of America.. who have poured the poison. of disloyalty into the very arteries of our national life . who have sought to bring the authority and good name of our Government into. contempt. to destroy our industries wherever they thought it effective for their -vindictive purposes to strike at them. and- to debase our policies to the uses of foreign intrigue. I desire to continue the quotation by reading the following. that immediately comes after: Their number Is not great as compared: with the whole number of those sturdy hosts by which our Nation has been enriched In recent generations out of virile foreign stocks: It is one thing to condemn those. no matter where they come from or what their lineage. who are disloyal to the American people. to the American Governmefnt. and to our flag. It is another thing to condemn wholesale a. people because of their particular lineage.
