FOREIGNERS SHOULD
 BECOME CITIZENS
Col. Roosevelt Declares in Address Before Knights of Columbus
 at New York.

New York, Oct. 13.-"The foreign
 born population of this country must
 be an Americanized population-ro
 other kind can fight the battles of
 America either in war or in peace.'
 Colonel Theodore Roosevelt so as- serted in speech on "Americanism"
 before the Knights of Columbus at Carnegie hall last night. Colonel Roosevelt said that at the outset it
 was the duty of immigrants to learn
 English and it was the duty of Amer ica to provide them means to learn English.
 If an immigrant is not fit to be- come a citizen, he should not be al- lowed to come here," said Colonel Roosevelt, If he is fit he should be given all the rights, to earn his own livelihood and to better himself that any man can have. Take such matter as the illiteracy test. I en- ~tirely agree with those who feel that many very excellent possible citizens would be barred improperly by an 1ll1teracy test. But why do you not admit aliens under bond to read and write at any certain time? It would then be a duty to see that they were gwen ample opportunity to learn to read and write and that they were deported if they failed to take advan- tage of the opportunity No man can be good citizen if he is not at least In process of learning to speak the language of his fellow citizens. The 1orelgn-born population must talk the language of the native-born cit lzens; 1t must possess American citi- zenshipj and American ideas. It must stand firm by its source of al- legiance in word and deed and must show that in every fact it has re- nounced allegiance to every prince, potentate or foreign government. It must be maintained on American standard of living so as to prevent labor disturbances in important plants and at critical times. None of these objects can be secured as long as we have immigrant colonies, ghettos, and immigrant sections, and above all they cannot be assured so long as we consider the immigrant only as an in- dustrial assert"
