I have not the time to yield. / have only a few minutes. Public opinion in this Republicagainst America comes from foreigners. I do not believe that a man born and reared 19:16. .in thisecountry is:responsible for any upheaval against our flag. [ We all:know that a greftmany foreigners who .have become naturalized are good -citizens and loyal Americans. Yet we lmow there is a large foreign element in our country now that has been sowing the seeds of discord ever since the development .of delicate diplomatic questions with the European nations in.volved in the war now raging in Europe. Beforethe war began in that country about 1.500.000 aliens were pouring hito the :United States every year. Since the war.has been in progress .the average is about 400.000 a year.. When that bloody struggle is over. do you not think the desire will be greater to emigrate .to the United States? I fear a great flood of immigration will then be headed this .way. Our country can not assimilate this great horde of foreigners. Who wants them to come to the United States?
