Much of our population is imbued with the spirit of freedom simply because of its denial before they came here. They have largely shared in the progress of tile country. which in the short space of a. little over a hundred years has shown the most wonderful growth in population. as well as in wealth and other achievements. of any nation on the globe. Naturally these conditionsoppression in Europe and freedoin herewould populate our country with a large proportion of people who. although without sympathy with the ]iome country. yet might not take advantage of naturalization at once to become citizens of this country. Notwithstanding that fact. when we think of that particular element of European population whocame here to escape oppression we can easily recognize their fighting spirit for liberty when the war in -Europe was realized as a struggle of a people against the oppression of autocratic government. Especially is this true of that portion of the population of the central powers living in Austria and denied the freedom which belongs to a democratic system.
