We can have no patience with those who pledge allegiance to the Republic and in theirhearts remain loyal to other causes. Tbere is nothing more dangerous to the stability of our democratic institutions and the peace and welfare of our people than the pernicious agitation of the foreign propagandist. There is nothing more detrimental to the welfare of the immigrant himself than the meddling. the dictation. and the misleading counsel of the propagandist. who. under the pretense of a superficial loyalty to America. is actually engaged In promoting and perpetuating an alien allegiance. an allegiance often typified by his own refusal to accept American citizenship. All the ruthless. heartless. crimial exploitation of the Immigrant in this country has been done in the name of an alien patriotism. The flags of Europe have been made to shield too many swindlers in this country. and I say It is time we stopped it. If the present laws of this country are Insufficient to deal with this pernicious activity. then it is the duty of Congress to enact laws which will define more fully who is an undesirable alien and provide more stringent methods for the revocation of American citizenship. We eau not stand by and allow a disloyal minority to poison the minds and the hearts of our people. The man who is out of sympathy with our laws and institutions. who can not share our common idealism. does not belong here.
