OF another country. ! have feel |
ing Of friendliness for the countries |

come back feeling that there Is no
place I'm the world To live except In |
the United states
I'm the first place, there Is a
chance here for The average man such |
as there is not anywhere else In the |
world There r not another country !
whore the average mana man who |
can not expect to get to the top, has
chance to I'D ID IN life with the sue

get 10 the top has a chance 10 lead |
a life SO attractive and full Of inter-

above the lowest strata above the
man merely seeking pleasure and en-
iovment. can find here an opportunity
To help work ont the great problems

worth his salt ought to feel pleasure
over the fact that he Is given an op-
portunity 90 try q hand to help work |
