Democracy rests upon two pillars: One. the principle that all men are equally entitled to life. liberty. and the pursuit of happiness. and the other. the conviction that such equal opportunity will meet advance civilization. And in another passage Justice Brandeis pointed out: America has believed that each race had something of peculiar value which it can contribute to the attainment of those high ideals for which it is striving. America has believed that we must not only give to the immigrant the best that we have. but must preserve for America the good that Is in the immigrant and develop in him the best of which he Is capable. America has believed that in differentiation. not in uniformity. lies the path of progress. It acted on this belief. it has advanced human happiness. and it has prospered.
