Mr. President. KNUTE NELSON came to America a penniless Immigrant. unable to speak or to understand the English language. His first earnings were obtained by selling newspapers on the streets of Chicago. There would now be no "immigration problem " to settle if all who seek our shores and the benefits of our glorious land were made of the same stuff. He had no time for selfpity. or for whining about the opportunities of the rich. and the downtrodden conditions of the poor. not at all. Instead. he went to work. fought and conquered poverty. and won the honor. respect. confidence. and love of his fellowmen.
