However. Abe" Norris remarked.
there was a few Americans which
instead of being IN the audience en-
joying the performance was back on
the stage with the Germans and
weeping just so nara as any Of them.
Take these here American lady
delegates to the small time peace
conference which = running at
Zurich, switzerland IN opposition to
the old original peace conference H.
Paris, Abe. and them ladies with
their voices choked by tears. Abe
passed a resolution that be it re-
solved that the peace treaty is al
ready secret diplomacy. that IL is the
old case OF the side winning the wax
getting the spOils and a lot of other
resolutions tC which the only resolu-
ton anybody cOuld pass in answer to
such resolutions would be Well,
what OF it,"
That only proves to me. Mawruss.
how necessary 1t Is. this here Amer
icanization work which YOU read so
much about IN the papers Abe de-
clared Here is four American
ladies which is lived in the country
for some yeers-in fact ever since
they was born, and that amt such
a short time neither when you see
their pictures, Mawruss, and yet
them ladies talks like they never
.S.lr sl,
ner. Sceminsly the fact that we
licked Germany don't appeal to
them at all. ana 50 -ar as these re-
solutions which they passed between
sobs. MawrUss, gives and inrica-
items, Mawruss. they would like TO
have seen tins here European war
end in a draw with perhaps Ger
many getting i shaGe the better of
it,"
And what has all this got TO do
with AmcricaniLation work, Abe p
Morris inquired. L always thought
that Americanization Sc as taking the
ereenhorns which GENES to This
country from Europe. and teaching
them how 10 think and act like Am
orleans"
That comes Afterwards. Nav
russ" Abe said, because it seems
that even since this here European
war. MawrUss. Americanization
needs TO begin at home, Mawruss,
and that the first ones 70 be Ameri-
canized should ought 10 be Ameri-
cans. There is for instance Mr. o..
G. Willard, vino was born and raised
in this country, Mawruss, which he
comes out with a statement the 9th
er day that them loafers of the
Munich soviet who killed all them
professors and ladies a couple OF
weeks ago compared very favorably
with the legislatures Of the states of
New York and Pennsylvania, Nav
russ. Now when YOU consider that
them two legislatures is part of our
government, Mawruss the way at
| looks TO me is that If a foreigner had
said such a thing, he would have
/ been Americanized without option
of a fine by the nearest city mag
istrate."
At the same time, Abe" Morris
said. when you read in the papers
about the New York state Senator
| Thompson and the goings on up IN
Albany. Abe. it looks like American
ization should ought 10 be done at
the source, y understand, and then
/ it wouldn't be necessary TO Ameri-
canize Mr. Willard at all"
Sure / know. Mawruss. Abe
/ agreed. but what l am driving into
/ is that Americanization for Ameri-
cans must appeal very strongly to
/ colored Americans, especially the
/ Americanization Of those Americans
who believe that the colored man
should ought to be put in his place
and don't hesitate about designatinS
the place as the end of a rope with
out the trouble and expense of a
jury trial. understand"
L would even get little more
personal as that, Abe" Morris de-
clared. 81 would even say that
there should ought TO be classes in
| AmericanizatiOn for those Americans
who believe that the religion an,
origin OF certain other American:
makes them eligible to give then
