This paper continues: 5. That the ambassador of a foreign nation .to the United States in an address delivered while on a visit to his own country credited the first postponement of national origins to the hyphenated Americans of his own nationality. He boasted that this foreign influence was strong enough in the United States to prevent the national origins act from going into effect for two years. Think of that astounding situation! The ambassador of that nation back home boasting to his people when perhaps he thought we would never hear of it that lie and they were responsible for keeping an American law. enacted by the Congress. from going into effect for two years because they did not want it to go into effect.
