We invite the representatives of the commercial houses of Germany again to overrun our cities. while she is at liberty to shut her gates on tiny American merchant. manufacturer. or banker.. oil our growers of cotton. corn. and live stock. our producers of copper. who may desire to deal with her people. We permit the reestablishment in our midst of the industrial plants that prior to the war enriched so many of her warinad minions. and that became centers of sedition and disloyalty after we entered it. without any assurance that an American firm may even set up an agency in the city of Hamburg. We throw open our ports to emigrantsfrom her Impoverished States and Provinces and admit them to citizenship on exactly the same terms as are accorded to the citizens of our faithful Allies or the liberated people of the new Republics we have aided in creating within her former territory without any guaranty that an American may remain overnight in a hotel in Munich. Dresden. or Berlin.
