CORES of Americans, promi-
nent in business, and in fra-
ternal organizations, who in
their offices and fraternity halls
profess to believe in the princi-
pies and the cause of Americani-
zation, assimilation and educa-
tion to intelligent citizenship of
the foreign born, are plainly in-
sincere and at times are scarcely
able to conceal their apprehen-
sion lest some of the “foreign-
ers,” whom they privately count
among their “best” customers
and whom they know to be anx-
ious that no one shall interfere
with them, their nationality
group activities and foreign in-
terests, should find them out,
take offense and decide to spend
their dollars somewhere else.
Indifferent to the principle of
the greatest good to the great-
est number, caring in reality
very little how the irritating
post-war problems of a divided
people are to be solved and how
the warring groups and factions
of nationalities, race and creed
are to be brought together into
the common cause of American
unity, these mountebank patri-
ots are continuing their mad
pursuit of dollar chasing, leav-
ing unsupported "the lone senti-
nels fighting the real American
cause for national unity.
Everlastingly changing front
and ready to agree with almost
anybody’s viewpoint, these “suf-
ficient unto themselves” Ameri-
cans often devote considerable
time explaining that it is diffi-
cult for them “in their posi­
tions” to take a stand, for fear
that they might hurt somebody’s
feelings and so they prefer to
remain neutral and cause no of-
fense to anybody.
America’s army of “slackers”
has, since the war, been greatly
augmented by the army of well-
to-do, and otherwise, Americans
at home who have neither the
courage nor. the moral stamina
to line up against those who are
busy bartering away their birth­
right on the altar of gold.
