Since this war began. because of conditions that have nothing whatever to do with the United States. they have developed an antagonism to this Government and a spirit of hostility that is very serious. Now. I would take away the papers from every one of those fellows quicker than a flash. and I have been advised by courts having to do with naturalization in an area where there are 20 or 30 different nationalities living that the most salutary influence in the world is for some of those fellows to believe. whether it is true or not. that after they get their papers they have got to toe the mark or they are going to lose them. There are many sections of this country. which we do not need to particularize by name. where whole communities are largely made up of people who have come from countries where popular selfgovernment has never existed. a majority of whom are socialistically inclined. if not anarchistic. I know several places outside of my own State. and one or two inside of my own State. where it took the utmost effort on the part of certain people to prevent tile red flag from being carried alone by a majority of the citizens of the community on their Sunday marches. and the fight was to compel them to carry the American flag along with the red flag.
