AMERICA WORLDS MOST
IDEAL lAND--HOlP
iConfinued from FACE ~

That's the American way. We bought
half OF our country from Napoleon,
We sent Benny Franklin over there
nd he bought it from France for
sfteen million dollars
we bought Florida from Spain for
i've million; Texas from Mexico for
ten Million California from Mexico
and Spain for fifteen million and didn't
waste any mans life We did it in
the American way until the United
States IL four times as large as when
George Washington gave us that giori
Gus banner Fifteen additions have
been made.
When we built the Panama Canal
we needed forts to protect It, Den
mark was the preseason Of the Virgin
Isles. We bought them four years ago
for twenty-five millions and are build
ing forts there to protect the canal.
1t was done so quietly that nine-tenths
OF the people of America today don't
know we owe them
when Spain was at war with the
Philippines and Porto Rica, we step.
ped In, conquered Spain and took
possession of the territory in dispute.
But. remember we paid twenty million
dollars for the Philippines and Porto
Rica after we had won the war No
other nation in the world every did
anything like that. Fifty years ago
the natives of the Hawaiian Islands
begged Uncle Sam to make them a
part of the United States We didn't
steal them.
1--WE learned great lesson as a re.
suit of the Worlds war America
was known as the melting pot and in
the future pot the melting pot will
melt. In the future all foreigners will
be welcome to this country. They will
be given every opportunity but they
will be given three years time to de-
eide whether or not they will become
American citizens. Those who were
in America when the war broke out
went back to their native land and
fought against us after earning wei
fare off the American public. Nothing
like that will happen in the future.
Every foreigner will be forced to take
years or he will be politely asked to
pack his little grip and trot back to
his home land. America is the most
nearly perfect nation in all the world.
