Why should any foreign group be permitted to wear foreign uniforms and drill in public here? Why should we not have some law that there shall be only one uniform in this America and that the uniform of the United States Army or Navy? Why should we permit foreigners. aliens. naturalized or nativeborn citizens. who have more sympathy for the socalled fatherland than for America. to so express their sympathy in this country? Why should not this Congress create a committee and give it the ample power and funds to look after this terrible activity that is going on at the present time? You have your Spanish situation. you have your Mussolini. and it will be recalled that during the Ethiopian war the Italians asked for volunteers. but the German Government is more brazen.
