There has been a lot of talk, some of It Ill-natured and Indefensi ble, about hyphenated Americans, and a disposition In many quarters to condemn quiet, law abiding adopted citizens Indiscriminately ; to classify them with the few blatant leader whose prejudice has over thrown their reason. It Is unhiiman not lo re-. peel the love a man baa for his native land l.ove la something he can not control, but he ran con trol hix political conduct and he ean do his duty. A very Important duty this year for all adopted tit liens Is to observe flag day.

' Bull tin No. 2 Why We Are Opposing A Government Armor Plant Tot) P-ilr: S..111. people ,ay tliut the very fmt tiiat the I!. llilcliein Steel Company is 00 aggressive! fighting the proposal lo build u (iovci niijnil ornor plant is roiicluiive proof that the Companj is seeking to RRRM for iUclf Ihc "vast profits" derived from private manufacture. The fact ia that armor making is I lie l.-.i-i profituble feature of eterl muuufai lure. The reason we oppose a (iovcrnmcnt plant is very simple. It is this: Even though their ia but little prulit in the making of .11111. .1 , we have invested over $7,000,000 iu our armor plant, Thut plant is useless for any other purpose; if a Government plant is built the useful ness of our plant is destroyed. It would he good buHinesa for us to make armor for the Govern ment at any price over and above the actual whop cost, RATI I ER THAN SACRIFICE OUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. e e We do not see to save big profits; our purpose is very frankly to save our armor plant itself built solely for the use of the Government -from going to the scrap heap. To do that, we are prepared to agree fur any period to any terms of manufacture which the Federal Trade CommUaiun shall aqy absolutely protect a the Government of the I uited Stutca. CHAS M M ltWB.
