And from a high authority I have the assurance that -while we were sending our boys across seas to fight for civilization. a transport carrying for the most part a quota of these boys of foreign parentage from the city of New York had on it agents of our enemies trying to implat the seeds of dissatisfaction. but in their report to their Government confessed their absolute failure and stated that there were no truer or more loyal Americans than they found in this contingent of drafted foreign.-born Americans. Are we to forget these men and the people of other nations. and say to them. "You were good enough to fight for us overseas. you are not good enough to live and struggle with us over here "? We need the class of immigrant who comes to America. We need their industry. their frugality. their earnestness in the pursuit of a ligher standard of living for themselves and their families. True it is that there are exceptions among these new arrivals. as there are exceptions among those whose fathers and grandfathers were born here.
