Foreign-Born Citizens Opposed to

American citizens of foreign birth,

ly !conversant with the issues now
being raised in the presidential cam
paisn, according to DR.. John Constas,
one of the leaders of the Greek colony
in Washington: and in many instances
ares more inclined than the native

and the respective attitudes of the

There are many thousands of men

first time this fall as a result of hay-

in the Army or Navy. said Dr. Constas.
who estimates that there are $4,000
native Greeks eligible to vote, of
whom $4,000 served in the recent war.
The Italian vote is somewhat larger.
According to DR.. Constas, the citi-
zens from the countries just referred
to are not in sympathy with the for

The Greeks and Italians, as well
as the Syrians. find much fault with

These are the things the citizens
