HYPHENATED AMERICAN
Former President Roosevelt Says
There is no Reason f0r Such
in United States

New York. Oct. l3--Former Presi-
dent Roosevelt, speaking before the
Knights of Columbus in Carnegie
Hall last night poured verbal ma
chine gun fire into 'hyphenated
American;sm." Incidentally he accuS-
I'd the German Embassy Of incitc-
ment to the destruction Of propert!
ana the crippling of American indus
tries.
"There is no room in this country
for hyphenated .Americanism," he dec
,Iared. "When ! refer to hyphenated
Americans do not refer to naturailz-
ed Americans. Some Of the very best
Americans | have evsr=f;Mown we're
raturalizea Observation-Disclosures
BORN abroad.
"But hyphenated American is not
an American at all. This IS just As
true of the man who puts native
before the hyphen as of the man who
puts German and Irish or English o.
French before the hyphen. American
ism is a matter Of the spirit and OF the
soul. Our allegiance must be purely
to the United States. We must un-
sparingly condemn any man who hold
any other alengians. But if be healt-
lily sngly loyal to this republic then
no matter where he was born, he is
lust as good an American as any one
else.
"The one absolutely certain way Of
bringing this nation to ruin, of pre-
venting all possibility of lis continu-
ing to lie nation at all, would he to
permit it to become tangle Of
suuabbling rationalities, ali intricate
knot of German-Americans, Irish
Americans, English Americans French
Americans. Scandinavian Americans
Of Italian n-Americans, each reserving
its separate nationality, each at heart
feeling more sympathy with Euro
Deans of that nationality then with
a.. i citizens of the American
reublic.
"The men who do not become
Americans and nothing else are NY
'phcnated, and there ought to be nc
room for them in this country. The
man who calls himself an American
citizen and yet shows by his actions
! that he is primarily the citizen Of q
! foreign land plays thoroughly mis-
chievous part in the life of our body
polite. lie has no place here; and
the sooner he returns to the land tc
! which he feels his real heart ale
glance the better it will be for every
good American.
"There is no such thing as a hy'
phcnated American who is goot
American. The only man who Is
good American is man who Is ar
American and nothing else.
