AmerlcanIze Natives First
70 The Editor Of the Eucning Public Ledge

70 The Editor OF the Eucning Public Ledger:
Sir-We hear SO much talk about COM
pelllng all foreigners who come here to
be forced into becoming naturalized. My
opinion r. that you can never make Ameri-
cans out Of foreie0ers by forcing them to
become American citizens. Signing piece
OF paper docs not change a man or woman
or their fcalty from one country to another.
"AmerlcaniZation' seems to be based upon
,he theory that this can be done. but It
can't.
What we need Is assimilation. education.
attention and good will. Show the for
egner that this is Il country Of good fellow
ship and opportunity and make them Ameri-
cans first by educating them in American
principles and ideals Then talk politics to
them last.
Instead OF that we usually call these
smigrants square heads" and we ignore
and dismiss them as Ignorant for
elgners." Yet you want them to become
citizens and mix In politics to help the
vicious and ignorant American politicians
In some dirty work.
Tho foreigner who comes to the United
States is not q wealthy person. nor the edu-
Is Of the poor, depressed, suppressed class
and often an exile. II he makes a success
hero he becomes a good citizen; II not he
remains q rebel. Communist, Socialist or
Boshevst.
Yet those who term themselves 100 per
cent Americana do not assist these foreign
ers TO become success. but, on the con-
trary call them names. discourage them and
try their utmost to keep them down In an
economic and social sense.
Ny advice to these 100 per cent Ameri-
cans Is to so after the Americans nrst.
seventy-hve per cent Of these Americans of
voting age do not know what they are vot-
inS for. and cannot explain the difference
between the parties Help the foreigner
and he will help himself and become a good
American citizenr-better than very many OF
the native-born. A. S. CAHILL.
