UP to scorn because they were born
in Europe, or because their parents
were born in Europe.
If everybody will take an hour off
and give that hour honestly to an
estimate of what has been contributed
to his own community by people of
other races he will indulge in no fur
Their contemptuous references to the
foreign born"
Let us never forget that America is
a composite Of all the races, and be-
cause Of that we are solving the
world problem of world civilization.
The biggest thing America has done,
next to creating the public school, has
been to show that all races can live
together in peaceable rivalry and
all give their best to one great COM
posite nation of world leaders.
When the boys go over the top in
Europe there will be no question Of
native-born and foreign-born. There
will not even be a question Of white
or black. One man will look like an
other if he is real American.
Our business here at home is to
shame no man because of his parent
age, humiliate no man because of his
ancestry, lower no mans esteem for
the parents who bore him nor for the
mother tongue in which he learned his
childhood lessons. Our business is to
hold the lamp of liberty enlightening
the world so high that coming from
every land, and speaking every tongue
they will all sing "My Country, TITS
of Thee" with full heart.
1t is not compression that binds.
peoples together, it is the inspiration
of common ideals and common pur
poses. Let America keep her ideals
high, and we need not worry about
babel of tongues. We shall all spea..
one language soon enough.
