HELP THE FOREIGN BORN

That liberty and what IT means should
be so wei. explained to aliens, that through
witnessing living illustrations OF the word
IN American citizens they would eventu-
ally want 70 become Amencanizcd, was
one of the many thoughts OF DIR. John
Grler IIibbcn, president OF Princeton
ITnivcrsit in a lecture or American citI-
zenship Mt Grace NJ T.. Church last night
DIR. Hibhcu spoke under the auspices OF
the State Council of Defence. IN "A course
Of lectures on Ancrlcanization, being con
Quoted Jointly hv the Defence Council
and the " ilmlngton Board Of Education.
In speaking OF liberty, he said that there
is no true liberty without tho sense OF OBJ
legation, and no true sense Of obligation,
az long as VIC hold a sclf-ccntcrcd phil
osophy of life.
The University head paid his respects
10 the Bolshevists, stvling them rs n po-
tcntial danger To this country. and also
TO government control Of things, which
he contcnded was taking away rather
than aiding this country and making men
like children But his Interpretation Of
what an American citizen IS and should
be. rotated about the word liberty. which
he defined rs the leading and strongest
tradition Of this country. In emphasizing
his viewpoint Of American citizenship
hc said

forcfathcrS fought arc not 70 be gwen up
"a the foreigner We just share the prvl-
lcges with them But in dong 50 there Is

YOU teach them the true definition OF

that care should be taken that it was
