Those Italians who have come over here and made their homes have. for the most part. become splendid citizenssome of them leading citizensthe great part of them industrious. honest. frugal. and successful citizehs. In the city where I live. and in the other cities of my State. we have no better people than the citizens of Italian birth and lineage. and I would dislike to be considered ungenerous to them or to their native land. But. Mr. President. we must be just before we are generous. We represent American constituents in this body. and. when we say American constituents. I mean naturalized American citizens as well as all other constituents. and we must see that their rights are protected before we undertake to give their money to other governments.
