The Immigrant

carried some derogatory remarks
about immigration. I can not
restrain the urge to give my
view of this subject.
Most Immigrants are indus

the United States.

Dear Miss Robinson:
MY work brings me in con.
tact with many groups of intel
ligent men-doctorS, lawyers,
judges, psychologists, business
men, etc. In talking freely with
these men, when no women are
present, various subjects evoke
more or less interest. But there
is one subject which always
arouses instantaneous vigorous
reaction, namely THE GREED
OF WOMEN, and no other sub
ject causes such bitterness and
high blood pressure.
said a young lawyer, "It's
such a pity, because it is the one
thing, more than anything else,
which keeps women from being
angels This same attorney,
though brilliant, ambitious, pop
ular and clean living, has re-
signed himself to a life of single
blessedness because, says he,
there is nothing despise more
than selfishness. and most OF
the young women whom I know
intimately are acquisitive, greedy
and mercenary, although ap-
pearing to be unsophisticated on
the surface
Another older man, a doctor
with three daughters and vast
experience with women, says
that Feminine Greed is the
Curse of American Life These
opinions are typical of SO per
cent of the men of all classes.

made America? You will find
that the immigrants helped
make this country prosperous.
One always hears lamenting
about bad times and how much
better the previous year was, but
the funny part is that these
squawkers are at the same time
buying new cars and other lux
uries, as well as patronizing
every available entertainment.
Why don't you hear what the
immigrant says about your coun-
try? It would make you realize
how little you do to preserve
peace and prosperity which your
fathers handed down. The
aliens know how to appreciate
peace, security, liberty and other
American democratic ideals.
They also know that these things
are more essential than keeping
up with the Joneses. Check up
what so.called 100 per cent Amer
leans did during the depression

ing, and what the immigrant did.
