Moreover. I ought to be frank enough to say that these various races have made their contribution to the building up of America. Wisely we are now preventing and have been for some years preventing the immigration hither of any more persons. not because we are offensive in our attitude toward other races. but because we cannot absorb them. We are no longer the melting pot. because the metal does not melt. But many of those persons whom we invited here. forgetful of the hospitality extended to them by this generous Government. forgetful of the fact that the badge of American citizenship is a greater privilege than any other civil privilege known to manmany of these persons from foreign coun.tries have been engaged in trying to undermine and overthrow the very Government which invited them hither and which gave them an opportunity side by side with the nativeborn.
