Mr. Speaker. about the scum of southern Europe as we used to hear. This war has proven what many of us have claimed. that If war came the foreign born would fight as loyally for the United States as our native born. Many of our foreign born who became American citizens refused to go back to light for the land of their birth. but they have not refused to fight for the land of their adoption. These men of the JugoSlavs. these men of the CzechoSlavs. and the Poles. are fighting today with a " noose around their necks." As is well known. these natives of AustriaHungary know that in case of capture they will not be treated as prisoners of war but as deserters from the Austrian Army. They also know that if word gets back to Austria and Hungary that they are fighting against AustriaHungary. that their mothers and fathers and other relatives will be punished as well.
