BY FLOYD sNELsoN

President Roosevelt issued a
proclamation, February Bird,
1913, as follows:
mo loyal citizen of the
the United States should be
denied the democratic right
right to exercise the respon-
sibilities of his citizenship, re-
gardleSs of his ancestry.
The principle on which this
country was founded and by
which it has always been gov
erned is that Arnericanism is
a matter of the mind and
heart.
"AMERICANIsM is NOT
AND NEVER WAS A MATTER
OF RACE OR ANCESTRY.
Every loyal American citi-
zen should be given the op
portunity to serve this coun-
try wherever his skills will
make the greatest contribu-

ranks of our armed forces,

ing the proposed hot lunch project for
