I am not going to support it. The mistaken impression seems to have become prevalent abroad that the United States is a gigantic charitable institution. dedicated to a policy of gratuitously feeding and clothing the entire world. Furthermore. it has become apparent that these people consider our country to be an asylum. or international eleemosynary institution. in which every refugee. malcontent. political. economic. and social misfit may take haven who finds himself unable or unwillingto apply his efforts and talents to the building of his own country. They seem to think that we owe an everlasting debt of gratitude to those whose very lives were saved by American boys only 4 or 5 years ago. Personally.
