You are dealitig a veritable deathblow to the heart -of Americanism if you declare that one part of its citizenry is Inferior to any o~tvr. Now. as to those seeking admission to our shores. It seems that It seldom occurs to many of us that the immigrant as seen In many of our cities. is not a detached entity. that he does not -come from air. lie comes from some racial stock. He comes from a group that has its traditions. There was a time in his life when he was not a foreigner. not -an Immigrant. When he was a part and parcel of civilization. a state. a culture. We seem to forget that it was a Spirit of adventure or rebellion against autocracy and oppression. or it was economic pressure that made of many a wanderer. that forced him to forsake his hearth and go knocking at the gates of other countries. If we are to judge the immigrant. then let use judge the entire race stock. While the proposal seriously affects the Hungarians. Czechs.
