II ia the Judgment OF a keen observer who
has been travelling extensively about the country
that the United States has far less to fear from
anv divided allegiance Of so-casled hyphenated
Americans than we have from tho indifference OF
our own native-born citizens to the needs OF the
nation. And on reflection IL stands to reason
that the man or woman who deliberately re-
nounces all that is near and dear in the father
land to seek a new home on a free soil with
greater opportunities and promise has At least
submitted to a trying test OF patriotism and
LOYALTY which those on the same social and In
dustrial level over here never have occasion to
Withstand.
II is regrettably true that altogether too many
O our own people are ignorant OF the history OF
our republie-that though they may have mem
orized certain days and names connected with
its salient events they have no adequate con-
eeption OF the sacrifice OF life and property, oil
the hardships endured and OF the heavy burdens
incurred to make good that Declaration OF lnde-
pendence about which we are prone to speak SO
glibly and to which We feel that we prove our
devotion by setting off few rockets and burn
ing a little red fire once year
II is equally deplorable that too many Of our
own people even those whose forebears an
swered the call for volunteers, are wholly for
getful OF the frightful outlay required to pre-
serve and perpetuate the union which the fathers
had founded as the buwark OF liberty and the
refuge from old-country monarchical oppression
These priceless heritages seem to have come
to the present generation without effort and,
like things that cost little, little appreciated
and little priced. To the foreign-born American,
on the other hand our free institutions represent
the pangs OF broken family ties, savings labori-
ously boarded TO pay the passage to America,
strenuous years devoted TO learning new
tongue and fitting in with the new life. What
ever else may be said against the hyphenated
Americans, they cannot as a whole be truthfully
charged with wilfully Sinking their duties of
citizenship. though they might we'll have vivid
excuse. The native-born American, stubborniy
Indifferent to everything on which depends the
nations welfare and careless as to whether its
honor is maintained or its prestige among ma
lions is upheld, is a mighty poor American

Is living under the stars and Stripes and ready

American must become imbued with the true
