A MAGAZINE OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP
RESTRICT IMMIGRATION;
ADVANCE AMERICANIZATION
qpHOSE WHO have read in the symbol of the Statue
1 of Lit srty that foreign races and people shall have a
perpetual franchise individually and collectively to enter
this new world democracy, should begin to revise their
opinion before the alien license permitted in America
under this franchise of sentimentality develops into a
cancer with potential possibilities to destroy the tenets
of America’s political gospel of justice and liberty, free
dom and equality. In the maelstrom of unrestricted
immigration the human dregs and dross of Europe have
flowed freely through our gates effecting a gradual pro
cess of contamination, polluting the purer strains of the
American people. The selfish forces bent on battering
down constructive restriction of quantity and quality
immigration, should read the ominous signs of the foreign
influence that is gradually changing the American aspect
of our bigger cities where thronging millions of foreign
people and races have established communal units,
where foreign customs, foreign habits and foreign tongues
hold sway to the exclusion of everything indicating an
American neighborhood.
While the American people are demanding that a
restrictive immigration policy be maintained, more at
tention should be given the crying need for constructive
Americanization work throughout the nation. There
are undoubted values; high aspirations and ideals among
those who are living in isolated racial group centers.
These values must be redeemed. The Americanization
movement is America’s agency of redemption. Are
you backing the Americanization movement?
