piause. He said in part:
L deem 1t privilege to declare to my
fellow citizens of st. Paul that 1 still
believe In my mother. One thing that
has made me proud of my brothers and
sisters is the splendid self-restraint that
they have exercised under great provo
cation. am ALMOST ashamed to break the
record of self-respecting silence that you
have shown; but, while considering it be-
meath my manhood to deny some of tho
baseless allegations that have been pub
licly made, 1 want to go on record as re-
pudiating some of the things that have
been said by men in high office and men
who would like to be.
Il do not believe that any foreign born
citizen needs TO emphasize his Amerl-
canism by assuming an attitude of hos
tility towards the land of his birth In
the depths of my heart I believe that
England is right. 1 have been an Ameris
can citizen for seventeen years and dur
Ing that time 1 do not believe that my
Americanism has ever been under sus-
picion. I have never been in the police
court, never have been taken out VI {.
saloon and never waved either the red
flag or the green. There Is one faS
for me-the Stars and Stripes l ara

full conviction that the land of my birth
is fighting today the battle of human
ity."

When 1 have thought of the mag
niicent sacrifices that the land Of my

liberty 1 have tried to be patient these
six months and 1 can hardly keep bot
tied up any longer" said DIR. McGregor.
America and England were never so
near each other as now. / am not con-
sui and 1 am not looking for any posi-
ton. 1 am a settled preacher on the

think as an American citizen"

ilization by his native Scotland
