Our GermanAmerican citizens were the victims of this cruel propaganda. and in many places throughout the country riots and bloodshed ensued as a result. During those troublesome days leaders of the Jewish element in America condemned this propaganda and the treatment of their fellow German Americans. Together with other racial groups. the hardy German American. who pioneered in this country and subsequently were followed by great numbers of Jewish immigrants. made splendid contributions to the upbuilding and welfare of our country. We are equally proud of General Von Steuben and Carl Surz as we are of the liberal judges of the Supreme Court Brandeis and Cardozo. the Governor of the great Empire State. and others too numerous to mention. all striving toward one common endthe interest and welfare of the United States now in travail in experiencing a radical change in our social and economic life. Intolerance anywhere eventually insures the doctrine that we are " our brothers keeper." While we take keen pride in the literature. art. and culture of our respective racial backgrounds. we should ever keep in mind that the composite America is made up of all the nationality groups who have sworn allegiance to defend the country in which they were born or in which they sought asylum.
