French. Italians. and many others of foreign birth and ancestry adjusted themselves to the new order. and the record of recent years speaks for itself in depicting the patriotism of a high order and good citizenship exemplified by those adopted sons and daughters when the crucial moment was at hand. It is my earnest plea that we will not permit ourselves to lose sight of the fact in our fight for the preservation of democracy. that all of our citizens. whether naturalized or of native birth. are true sons of the Revolution. so long as they are willing to do their part to preserve those things that are so close to the hearts of all men. The line must be drawn somewhere. and it would seem. rather than to install some new and wholly untried theory. to be in the best interests of the American public for us to see to it that our Bill of Rights is preserved intact for our posterity. There are certain things which public opinion will not tolerate to be done or said in public.
