I do not think an amusement park is a fitting end for the first piece of American soil on which 15 million Americans first set foot. Through the years Europeans and others who have sought haven in the land of the free first saw their new homeland from Ellis Island. Fifteen million immigrants. whose children and grandchildren today walk American streets. first trod the soil of those 271/2 acres. It is hallowed ground. the spirit of liberty and justice. which is America. A far better plan for Ellis Island has been proposed by a group of publicspirited citizens in Wisconsin.
