I'VE are, let me say again, the
sincere friends of the German people,
and shall desire nothing so much as the
early reestablishment if intimate rela-
tions of mutual advantage between us,
however hard it may be for them, for
the time being, to believe this is spoken
from our hearts.
I'VE have borne with their present
government through all these bitter
months because of that friendship, ex-
ercising patience and forbearance
which would otherwise havee been i'm
possible.
I'VE shall, happily, still have an op-
portunity to prove that friendship in
our daily attitude and actions towards
the millions of men and women of
German birth and native sympathy who
live amongst us and share our life, and
we shall be proud to prove it towards
all who are in fact loyal to their neigh
bors and to the government in the hour
of test. They are, most of them, as
true and loyal Americans as if they had
never known any other fealty or alle-
glance. They will be prompt to stand
with us in rebuking and restraining the
few who may be of different mind
and purpose. If there should be dis
loyalty it will be dealt with with firm
hand of stern repression; but if it lifts
its head at all it will lift If only here
and there and without countenance ex-
cept from a lawless and malignant
few
