the subject The judge declined again,
saying he had looked up the law and

THE BIG PROBLEM
BY Edward A. Guest.

BY Edward A. Guest.
He'e Hunkie or Wop, he's Dago
or Greek,
And the language of our country is a
language he cannot speak;
He has sought the land of freedom
for the dream is in his breast,
And he's going cropping blindly for
the things he knows are best;
He's power for good or evil, he will
hate us or revere,
And become a friend or traitor from
the way we treat him here.
He has heard about our country in a
vague and hazy way,
It's the land where men are happy
and where little children play,
But he's strange to all the customs
that surrounds him now he's
here,
And he misses much that's spoken,
but he understands sheer.
He would like to do as we do, but he
doesn't quite know how,
And he'll never grow to like us if we
all neglect him now.
There's mighty force within him if
we only understood;
We can spurn it to our danger, or
can mold it to our good;
We can turn our backs upon him or
can make of him frind,
Who will com eto speak our language
and the flag we love defend.
But it's not enough to pay him for
the labor of his hand
We must teach him all our customs
till he larns to love our land.
He's Hunkie, a Wop, he's a Dago or
Greek,
But he's very busy thinking though
his thoughts he cannot speak.
n the future he'll be something-that
is true of every man
And the blame may be upon us if |
he's not American.
So let's make of him Yank and let's |
treat him as a friend,
And let's teach him love of freedom
it will pay US in the end.
