Melting Pot a Delusicn

The melting pot theory is another popu-
lar delusion. The melting pot idea is that
the newcomers are brewed into curious
new blend. which is American. | suspect that
what is meant is Anglo-SsXon. What is
called the American type is the Eastern col
lego boy and prosperous professional man,
with an occasional pink, clean-shaven banker
the face that advertses F. and Y. collars
and the athletic frame that holds up Klaw-
hammer S25 suits.
That is the upper class" application Of
the melting pot. For the masses" the Rus
sian Jew plunges into the pot, climbs out
briskly, and, after a rough towel, stands,
cleansed and new born, an American. To gid
the fine gold of his nationality we give his
son p smattering of education, working
papers, a blind-alley job in adolescence and
unskilIed adult work for lifetime. The
result of it ell is that lean, alert, unlined
American face, like a composite photograph
Of the Harvard graduating class, univsr-
sally happy and prosperous type, singing
with rich emotion:
Land where my fathers died,
Land Of the Pilgrims pride"
But is that the result? An American rabbi
writes in the "Menorah Journal for De-
cember, 1876
my family have found new happiness in
return to things Jewish. A false cosmo-
politanism nearly led me 10 advocate the
oblteration of Jewish group lines. but de-
bate before the Menorah, in which | opposed
Zionism, convinced me OF the value Of re-
ligious nationalism."
The League of Jewish Youth of America
aims to check the abandonment Of Jewish
traditions by our young men and women"
The Menorah Association for the re-
establishment of the Jewish culture has al
ready spread through forty-hve colleges and
universities.
Zionsm is n worldwide movement, and
America Is a sharer.
4 recent Investigator has piled up in
stances Of tho recovery OF their national
tradition among our diverse peoples.

Powhstan was conqueror
Powhatan was emperor.
He was akin to wolf and bee,
Brother of the hickory tree;
Son of the red lightning stroke
And the lightning shiyered oak.
His panther-grace bloomed in the maid
Who laughed among the winds, and played
Ia excellence Of savage pride,
Wooing the forest, open-eyed,
In the springtime,
In Virginia,
Our mother, Pocahontas.
Her skin was rosy copper-red,
And high she held her beauteous head.
Her step was like rustlng leaf,
Her heart a nest untouched Of grief
She dreamed of sons like Powhatan,
And through her blood the lightning ran.
Love-cries with the birds she sung,
And bird-like in the ivy swung.
The forest, arching low and wide.
Gloried In it's Indian bride.
Rolfe, that dim adventurer,
Had not come a courtier.
John Rolfe is not our ancestor
We rise from out the soul Of her
Held In. native wonderland
While the suns rays kissed her hand,
In the springtime,
Ip Virginia,
Our mother, Pocahontas.
She heard the forest talking,
Across the sea came walking,
And traced the paths of Daniel Boone,
Then westward chased the painted moon.
She passed with wild young feet
On TO Kansas wheat,
On to the miners West
The echoing cafon's guest;
Then the Pacific sand,
Waking,
Thrilling,
The midnight land .
On Adams Street and Jefferson
Flames coming up from the ground!
On Jackson Street and Washington
Flames coming up from the groundl
And why, until the dawning sun
Are flames coming up from the ground?
Because, through 0fOWsy oprlhBHeiu speu
This red-skin queen, with feathered head,
With wind and stars that pay her court,
And leaping beasts that make her sport;
Because gray Europe's rags august
She trampes in the dust;
Because we are her fields of corn;
Because our fires are all reborn
from her bosom's deathless embers,
Flaming as she remembers
The springtime
And Virginia,
Our mother, Pocahontas.
III
We here renounce our Saxon blood
To-morrow's hopes, an April flood,
Come roaring in. The newest race
Is born of her resilient grace.
We here renounce our Teuton pride,
Our Morse and Slavic boasts have died,
Italian dreams are swept away,
And Celtic feuds are lost to-day
She sings Of llacs, naples, wheat;
Her own soil sings beneath her feet,
OF springtime
And Virginia,
Our mother, Pocahontas

When an American preacher from Cedar
Rapids. Iowa, came to the London City TEN
pie. the most famous Nonconformist church
in the English speaking world, an "interna-
tjonal hymn" was hoated. II sings the praise
of Great Britain and the United States, call
ing them zone race of ancient fame, one
tongue, one faith
Mr.. Balfour made the same mistake when
he said of the United States and England:
eve have an Anglo-Saxon patriotism. It
cannot but be that those whose national
roots go down into the same past as our own,
who share our language, our literature, our
laws. our religion, everything that makes
nation great, and VINO share in substance our
institutions. it cannot but be that a tine Will
come when they will feel that they and we
have a common duty to perform, common
office to fulfil among the nations of the
world
The fundamental alliance between Great
Britain and our country will never be made
because of blood-strain. We are not an
Anglo-Saxon country. Our alliance consists
in similarity of democratic ideals, the posses
sion Of free institutions and common inter
est in the preservation of economic stability.
Mistake No. /, then, is in thinking that
the United States is an Anglo-Saxon nation.
That mistake led 70 lot of hard feeling
through the first two and half years of
war. because English people expected their
Anrlo-Saxon cousins. one hundred million OF
them. TO rise as one man and join the fracas.

 The grounds are now in fine shape looking to the opening date of the fair. Improvements have been made in all depart ments, premiums to the extent of $350O in cash being hung up. The entertainment features this year will far surpass any like performances in Northern Ari- zona, including concerts, danc- es, Wortham's famous carnival, racing program at the grounds, balloon ascensions, water utes, etc. and so planned that there will not be one dull moment on the cards.
