 It is up to temper our indifferent toi- erance with common The alien throngs which hereafter seek admission to our national lire must be sifted and purged of all undesirable units Those who arc permitted to become part of us must be fashioned and nodded and fitted to become real American citizens Partisan activities must be re- strcted and disciplined where they tend to threaten the general welfare.
