I am tired of seeing the name of Capone and other such names in every crime record that we read in our papers. I do not see the names of the Germans. of the Swedes. of the English. of the Danes. the true American names. appdaring in the crime records of the country. in the agitators of the country who are trying to overthrow our form of government and to do away with our laws and our institutions. I am tired of it. and. as far as I am concerned. the sooner we restrict or totally stop immigration from some of the countries of the world. the better. not because I do not like their people but because they do not assimilate with us. We are not a meltingpot. If we were. we would not have a distinct American characteristic.
