y GORGE W sSHINGTON made no
~ distinction 50 far as citizenship
was concerned between the native
born and the foreign born American.
In the words quoted from his farewell
address he takes il for granted that
both are alike IN their heart devotion
to the common country.
Washington shows by the other
words Of the sentence quoted that
America should not be dependent upon
the 'whim of love of its citizens. ma
tive born or foreign born, but that it
has right to demand loyalty and CON
centration of affection.
There are men today who seemingly
believe that, even though living under
the protection of a land enjoying its
beneficent laws and its opportunities
they may or they may not. as they
will, yield to II answering loyalty.
The country has become their own
either by birth or by their expressed
desire through the processes Of nat
uralization. If they do not like it they
can leave it but while they are citi-
zens by birth or by choice the country
has right to their loyal service.
WashingtOns words are a compel
ling chapter head for a lesson In Amer
icanization. There are some men. and
women too, who in this day take a
light view of the sacredness Of the
ties Of country The masses Of Amer
leans of course are patriotic and the
word covers the entire field of devO-
ton. but there are those here and
there. in considerable numbers in
some places. who plead what might
be called seIf-detennination Of con-
duct and who would loose themselves
and try to loose others from the bonds
which hold them TO their duty to the
country.
Washington believed m the future
Of his country. He knew how well the
Fathers had builded and he believed
that the foundation and structure
would withstand the assaults Of time
and human enemies. Recently the as
saults have become more persistent
and more vicious. The assailants are
not Americans even though they may
have been born here or may have come
here to 90 through the mockery Of ac-
curing citizenship. II Is something
for Americans to know the nature Of
the enemy in order that they may
overcome him.

MERE BUCK PASSING.

The proposal to raise adjusted
compensation funds for war veterans
by a tax on beer and light wines,
is an insult to the veterans and to
the decent public.
II is plot for more buck-passing,
and not clever plot, at that. Every
member of congress knows that, even
If Uncle Sam lifted the prohibition
lid, the sale of beer and light wines
would be prevented by the prohibit
ton laws of at least 40 of the states.
If the ex-soldiers have legitimate
claim, as many people think, to pay
that claim by the proceeds from am
outlawed traffic is out of the ques-
ton. 1t should be paid out of a
retroactive tax on war profits, or
some similar tax with the elements
Of justice in it.
