We came to your Northwest five | years ago. We have worked hard We have given to every “drive” dur ing the war, and the head of the family betng a skilled workman went to work {n the shipyards and stayed as long as the yards ran, and stnce has worked elsewhere—wherever an honest day’s work could be had. But the point is this: Ours is an old American name, but we have yet to experience the first Instance where that gained a day's work. We have not been ‘contented here, and it is only @ tat hundred miles to wh return, but so far we have not been able to mauve the required amount. How ,is ft then that this family of four are able to return thousands of miles to their iand of birth? I am not able to dress as well as that girt in the picture and as far as making a aitk pillow top; well, it would be far beyond the reach of my purse.

And if America of Seattle owes thone Russians anything let them have It by all means, but do you owe the Americans of the old stock any- thing? We love America, not from any comparison, but because we know no other, nor do we want to know any other country, but suppose we did say we will Isnve and be citizens of some other country who would there be to put aut a staying hand? I find after many years living with the foreigners that they love Amer. fea as long as they have a fine job, plenty of money and everything love ly. But let reverses come and back they go. But we have to stay with not a thought of leaving and grin and bear it, whether it be much or Uttle, T had a man with citizenship papers tell me his children were fuat as much Amerienans as mine, and was very angry when I said I could not see it that way.
