 Ho spoke of the foreign language newspapers and said they arc doing splendid work in informing people Of the ideals and customs and laws Of the country, who would not get it any other way. He recommended that immigrants be made 10 learn the language, mot English but the American tongue" within 10 years. He said they should be required to learn all about the tho country and its history.
