has well nigh, if not quite been
reached. Every real American
was shocked and amazed, dur
ling the recent war, to discover
the extent to which many immi-
grants had failed or refused to
become naturilized or American
canized. 1t was a bitter lesson
to our people, but it has, l feel
been well learned. Whether the
solution lies in the restriction of
immigration for a period of
years, or is reached by another
rout, it is not now possible to
say, but there is no doubt that
the American people will de-
mand and secure some solution
that will make it possible, in the
years to come for their beloved
country to be a house divided
against itself. When it is sud-
denly discovered that our vaunt-
ed melting pot" has ceased to
function, that the Stag and the
dross are burning themselves
into our national life, and Great
ing chronic polluting sores.-
then it becomes apparent that
something has been radically
wrong with our system. We
must search out the cause and
remove it.
