MCNUTT TELLS
LEGISLATURE

The American Legion believes that
as a nation I'VE should not admit any
more of the foreign-born than we can
properly assimilate and make into re-
sponsible and responsive citizens,
Paul v. McNutt, national commander
of the legion, said at joint session
of the Minnesota legislature held In
his honor Friday.
1.-The American Legion's attitude on
the limitation of immigration has
been stimulated by certain groups OF
foreign-born who openly declare their
allegiance to two Sovereigns, one the
United States and the other the sove-
reign of the land whence they came,
Commander McNutt continued.
National Origins.
1.-The American Legion has been adj
Vocating limitations on immigration
and has urged that proper method OF
determining the ratio Of the nations
is to look to the national origins OF
those who are already here. This does
not mean that such limitation Is
necessary for all time.
zone of the foreign groups Is COM
posed of individuals who openly de-
clare their allegiance to two sove-
reigns; to the United States, Of which
they are naturalized citizens, and to
the sovereign of the land whence they
came. For generations this nation has
endured this situation.
Time for Change.
1.-The American Legion believes that
the time has come to say to these peo-
pie, If they ar going to stay, earn
a livelihood and rear q family under
the protection Of our institutions, that
allegiance to the United States OF
America must be exclusive.
Another group consists Of indi-
viduals Connected with certain contin-
entail societies which claim to hold
secretly the allegiance to those persons
who have become American citizens by
naturalization In that insidious fash
ion these societies have tried to build
up groups of naturalized citizens who
openly declare their allegiance TO the
United States, but who secretly give
their allegiance to some foreign sover-
eign.
Wartime Scandal
mo man can serve two nations No
citizen can serve two sovereignS. No
nation can suffer divided allegiance.
The thing which happened in 1917 to
1918 must never happen again. Then
over 100000 men, or over per cent
of the military man power of this
country, sought exemption from ma
tional military service by reason OF
allegiance to some foreign power. Such
a situation is intolerab1e."
Regarding national defense, Com
mander McNutt said:
zone mission of the American Lee
gion is to educate our people concern
ing national defense. We have tried
to give to the people the result OF
our experience in the World war, in or
der to prevent the repetition Of mis-
takes.
Costly Mistake.
"Our past policy Of unpreparedness
has taken a heavy toll Of human life.
In all the wars in which this nation
has participated since the Revolution,
over one-half of our battle casualties
have been due to our failure to pre-
pare in time Of peace.

world will misunderstood us If we are
