Speech #760017083

The Senator knows that those potential spies and enemies. boring from within like termites. which cannot be seen or heard. would be more destructive and detrimental to the United States in war than would the cannons of the enemy. for cannons could be located by our aviators. No. 3. Do not permit a single immigrant to come to this country within the next 10 years. or until such time as every American is employed. No. 4. Banish all the foreign "isms" in this country. and let us hear a little something about Americanism. Returning to the subject of the conversation I had this morning with representatives of the soldiers of the World War and the representatives of other patriotic organizations. I am ashamed to say that when we were discussing the proposal to hold a mammoth meeting in the city of Washington to demonstrate that the American people are interested in Americanism. and offset some of the tremendously large meetings held in other sections of the country. we were afraid we would not now find the people sufficiently interested in the question of immigration. in the matter of keeping America out of war. or in the spirit of Americanism. to bring about the attendance at such a meeting of half as many people as attended the meeting held Tuesday night in the city of New York.
