Taking up our foreign relations

Blackmail on the American Polit
ical Parties In Foreign Interests.
WASHINGTON, .lime II. In a
Flag- day speech here today, Presi

some foreign-born persons in the

terest of foreign governments. This,
the piesiilent declared, must he stop
ped, lie was sounding what some
of his advisers said would be ono of
the issues of the coming presidential
campaign.
Caused by llitorbtls
The president's eriticisni of the

itorials in foreign language newspa
pers in the United States ami pub
lished statements of so-called hy
phenated Amorionu on the coming
campaign. It is understood that the
address will be echoed af the demo

Speaking of disloyulty in .the Unit
ed States, the president said:
"I proceed from it minority, a vcrv
small minority, hut uu active and
subtle minority, woiking under
ground, but also showing its uglj
head whore il may be een, and it It
this minority that at litis very mo
ment is striving to levy a hind of po
litical blackmail or wreak its venge
ance at the polls. That is the sort of
thing against which the American
people will turn. That is the lesson
which I come to remind you of to
day." Tost on Again
The president, introduced liv Sec
retary Lansing-, spoke to a great
crowd gitthered on the Washington
monument grounds, immediately af
ter he had reviewed Flair day prepar
