PRAISES
ANCESTORS MERIT
Says America Must Set Ex-
ample by Stability of
Such Lives.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
LATROBE, Pa, September S.
America can best encourage peace
among the nations "by giving to the
world new proofs of our own sta
bility.' Gen. John J. Pershing de-
clared today in an address at the
dedication of a monument to the
memory of Frederick Pershing, foun-
der of the family. The dedication
was a feature of the annual reunion
of the Pershing family.
Gen. Pershing detailed the growth
Of America through successive
waves of immigration" and declared
the maintenance of high standards
is more urgent than ever"
We must jealousy guard America
against becoming an asylum for the
criminal or pauper classes from
abroad" he asserted, "or a retrea,
for the irresponsible proponents OF
intrigue or destruction.
Welcome Good Stock.
1--WE bear no i'll will against peoples
from other lands, but we must admit
only those who. like our great an.
cestor. fully appreciate and accept the
f1re spirit of America and what IL
stands for. We would welcome all
their art. their music and would have
them become one of us. but none
must attempt to abuse our hospital
ity nor betray fair America with
poisonous doctrines. We decry the
politician who for personal ambition
would sacrifice those principles of
free government which have been
intrusted to our keeping by our
American ancestors.
"Disruptive controversy and armed
strife between different elements of
our society were alien to their basic
conception of a free government and
must not be. Public opinion in their
day would have condemned and for
hidden those combinations of industry
or Institutes which exist to serve the
their obligation or make concessions
for the common good.
Formation of CIiaues,
THE formation of cliuues or classes
under the leadership Of demagogues
that array one section of our com
mon country against another would
have been and should be today op-
posed by the united cooperation of
sane and sound citizenship. The time
Is present for restatement Of funda
mental principles and for a new reso-
luton of adherence to the original
was organized. We must purge our
selves of false theories put forth by
false prophets for base or selfish
reasons.
by thus giving to the world new
proofs OF our own stability, we can
best encourage peace among the ma
tions.'
