INTRODUCTION
A million immigrants!
A million opportunities!
A million obligations!
This in brief is the message of _Aliens or Americans?_
A young man who came to this country young enough to get the benefit of
our public schools, and who then took a course in Columbia University,
writes: "Now, at twenty-one, I am a free American, with only one strong
desire; and that is to do something for my fellow-men, so that when my
time comes to leave the world, I may leave it a bit the better." These
are the words of a Russian Jew; and that Russian is a better American,
that Jew is a better Christian, than many a descendant of the Pilgrim
Fathers.
In this country every man is an American who has American ideals, the
American spirit, American conceptions of life, American habits.
