RussianAmericans. PolishAmericans. or GermanAmericans. To me there is but one kind of American worthy of the name. and it is he who tolerates no prefix to. "American ". one whose every thought. heartbeat. and emotion places America first before all other nations on earth. one who. in his heart of hearts. acknowledges allegiance to no country. but America. and no flag but the Stars and Stripes. [ApplauseJ All aliens who are not willing and anxious to measure up to this standard should be deported from our land. The bill I have introduced is intended to accomplish this purpose. Mr. Speaker. I have no pride of authorship in my bill. but I am profoundly interested.in having legislation along the line suggested in it enacted into law. I earnestly appeal to you. my colleagues. to wake up to the grave situation that confronts us.and. urge the Committee on Immigration to report out some bill restricting immigration. and when so reported to insist that the Republican steering committee. who directs the policy of this House. have the bill considered and enacted into law before Congress adjourns. I am alarmed for our countr. One of the vital questions of the hour is whether our pure Americanism shall be preserved unpolluted o continue to en: lighten. encourage. develop. and bless mankind. or whether it is to be polluted and destroyed. whether the people. -culture. and spirit of our Nation shall be oriental. European. or continue American in character. The answer to this most important question largely depends upon what immigration lawi we enacf. Our forbears.. with the great price of untold hardshipsand sacrifices. and. yea. with sacred. precious blood. established this. our ideal. Government in the wilderness of the New World for themselves and their posterity. We owe it to them. to ourchildren. and descendants. and to ourselves. to see that AmYerica remains American. and that our priceless heritage shall in no way be impaired. continued immigration threatens it. Shall we continue to slumber when the country and form of government we love is endangered? I pray you. sirs. that your answer will be "No."
