Is the man or wonan who says Amer

this country who are not catering ana

america first" II the shoutcrs are ny
phenated against Americans? Those
who are hyphenated against Americans
are not "A whit better than hyphenated
Americans, no matter how much they
may shout America first"
All promoters OF immigration and all
who favor immigration are hyphenated
against Americans. With them the
motto Is. foreigners first. Americans last.
There may or may not he hypocrisy IN

clude certain Asiatics on the ground that
IL they were admitted they would take

building lots and make them rich quick.
Fellows who have bought patches Of
land on the mountain slopes OF North
Carolina are praying that hundreds OF
millions OF foreigners may come into
