Immigration and Naturalization.

There Is no danger of having too many
immigrants of the right kind. 1t makes no
difference from what country they come
If they are sound in body and in mind, and
above all. If they are of good character so
that we can rest assured that their chill
dren and grandchildren will be worthy fell
low citizens of our children and grand
children, then we should welcome them
with cordial hospitality
But the citizenship Of this country should
not be debased. 1t is vital that we should
keep high the standard of well-being
among our wage workers, and therefore
we should not admit masses of men whose
standards of living and whose personal Gus
toms and habits are such that they tend to
lower the level of the American wage work
er; and above all, we should not admit any
man OF an unworthy type. any man con
cerning whom we can say that he will him
self be bad citizen, or that his childrei
and grandchildren will detract from in .
stead of adding to the sum OF the good
citizenship of the country Similarly we
should take the greatest care about nat

fore us, and only if they are so kept before
us, we shall have clear idea of what our
foreign policy in its larger aspects should
be. It is our duty to remember that a ma
ton has no more right to do injustice to
another nation, strong or weak, than an
individual has to do injustice to another
individual; that the same moral law applies
in one case as in the other. But we must
also remember that it is as much the duty
of the nation to guard its own rights and
its own interests as 1t is the duty of the
individual so to do. Within the nation the
individual has now delegated this right
to the state, that is. to the representative
Of all the individuals, and 1t is a maxim
of the law that for every wrong there Is a
remedy. But in international law we have
not advanced by any means as far as we
have advanced in municipal law. There
is as yet no judicial way of enforcing right
in International law When one nation
wrongs another or wrongs many others.
there is no tribunal before which the wrong
doer can be brought Either it is necessary
supinely to acQuiesce in the wrong, and
thus put a premium upon brutality and
aggression, or else 1t is necessary for the
aggrieved nation valiantly to stand up for
it's rights. Until some method is devised
by which there shall be degree of inter-
national control over offending nations,
it would be a wicked thing for the most
civilized powers for those with most sense
of international obligations and with keen
est and most generous appreciation of the
difference between right and wrong. to dis
arm. If the great civilized nations of the
present day should completely disarm. the
result would mean an immediate recru-
descence of barbarism in one form or an
other. Under any circumstances suffi-
cient armament would have to be kept up
"a the purposes of international po-
irrational cohesion and
ltional duties and rights
-vanced than at present. a
nation desfrous both of securing respect
for itself and of doing good to others must
have a force adequate for the work which
