Speaker. I have the honor to represent the fourteenth congressional district of New York City. one of the most congested communities in the United States. a district composed of almost every race. creed. and color of our countrynative Americans and adopted Americansand I challenge the statemnent of the gentleman from Florida that these foreign Americans of my district or any other district are less loyal and patriotic to our country than any of his native Americans from the State of Florida. Tle foreigners of our Nation are not a gang or horde of outcast immigrants that the slums of Europe vomit forth to live and swarm together like some foul insect larve. but they are uniformly honest. conscientious. intelligent. and trustworthy Americans who are contributing through their toil. labor. and service to the prosperity of our Nation and to the material welfare and happiness of our country. Yea. even upon the battle field they have bared their breast to the shot and shell of enemy nations who have attempted to destroy the existence of our country. In the East Side of New York. the district from which I come. there was gathered together in the last war a regiment known as the Lost Battalion.
