A Boomerang.

Herbert Hoover struck q blow for 100 per
cent Americanism yesterday in an address be-
fore the convention Of Americans OF Polish de-
scent in New York city. when he declared that
1.-The American people are growing impatient
with foreign agitators. and unless their atti-
tude changes, the door that has always besn
open to Europe may be shut"
The warning II timely one While It is
undeniably true that the mass Of our foreign
born population are true to the land Of their
adoption; yet 1t il. fact that the great per-
centage Of radical agitators> who are today
largely responsible for the labor and indus
trial unrest in this country are men who Inn
migrated to these shores. Many Of them are
working, perhaps not Intentionally, but never
theless certainly, towards the destruction Of
our primary institutions and in defiance to
our laws.
The American public has always been toll
Grant Of this element of radicalism, but the
time has como when We can NO longer look
upon their actions without taking serious
thought Of the consequences. Their own At
tacks upon the government and the nations
institutions will act as q boomerang against
themselves and their compatriots. The door
to ~the land Of the free" may not only be shut
to their brothers and compatriots for all time
to come. but there may arise in America q
lasting prejudice against every speaker Of q
foreign tongue in this country.
The radical alien has gone Tar enough. II
n time that those Of his own blood and kin
who are loyal Americans stop him, or else the
government win be forced to shut the door Of
the promised land( which has brought free
dom and happiness to millions Of the worlds
oppressed peoples.
