Tell all who are not " free white persons" under the Constitution to move on. then Americanize the others until they love their God aid country above all else. Then we are safe to permit them to serve their country in their own way and worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience. I have listened with great interest to the facts and figures bearing on this debate. and a splendid showing hats been made statistically for the immigrants admissible to citizenship. Their patriotism in the last war hits been pointed out. Statistics as to their literacy atnd freedom from crime have been given. and yet a thorough understanding of those statistics and the American situation is by no means convincing that there should be an increase in this class to our people. The immigrant who now seeks admission. not through romance. not in daring. not with ambition. but to escape a warwrecked. embittered country. with hatred in his heart. with a companion who in misery and poverty has borne him children undernourished. warfrightened. and pitiful. is a sorry contrast to the immigrant. even from that same country. who sought these shores in older limes. It was very easy foi an alien to be patriotic in the last war. because his own country and his adopted country had a coMmon cause. But since the war this class of aliens seems to have been more concerned in an effort to change our laws than to abide by them.
