Such affection and.sympathy but prove that they have the disposition to become attached to the land of their adoption. I have no doubt the heat of a foreign attack upon us would rapidly melt and assimilate all our ingredients. But we hope to have no such conflagration. And I think our greatest need -at present is that all our people should be permeated with a zealous spirit of American nationality. Of course. prohibiting immigration even temporarily involves disadvantages. There would be an outcry that we would soon have no cheap labor. To -me that Is no objection. I would be glad to have no cheap labor. to have the value of wages relatively increased.
