Chairman. as a man who. at the age of 49 years. voluntarily put on the uniform of the United States and wore it for a year. I never hear the statement made on this floor or elsewhere questioning the justice and the right of this great country in that war without resenting it to the bottom of my heart as an insult to the 4.000.000 men who wore the uniform. to the flag they followed. and a stain on the place in history of the greatest nation on the face of the earth. I am the son of foreign immigrants. but I am just as good an American as the people whose ancestors came over on the Mayflower or as any man who ever breathed the air of America. Perhaps that statement may be a necessary preliminary to one or two other things I am going to say. In my brief time I must limit myself to some scattered observations. without elaboration.
