SETTERS to the Loyalty Editor are bringing an inspiring message from foreign-born citizens who fell what America has done to justify the choice of the americans by choice.” Perhaps these letters may have some value as con- structive aids to Americanization—using the term in its best sense and not as a sort of a star-spangled coverall Gor any sort of shady, shifty, political skullduggery. Perhaps they will suggest ways in which would-be ‘Americans can more quickly avail themselves of op; \ortunities and so prove for themselves the worth of "America. Perhaps they will make plain what have been the most effective means of reaching the hearts and minds of the immigrant and so enable Americans to ‘extend the hand of fellowship more efficiently. t > Equally if not more important, we hope, will be the effect on the native citizen, the “American by accident.” +6 It is impossible to read these simply told tales of *‘dctual everyday experience without feeling a thrill of . Patriotic pride in this, my own, my native land. These letters awaken patriotic emotion just as surely as did ‘ithe martial parades of two years go. ©S America IS better than other lands. The “American ‘by choice” may have a better appreciation of the fact use he knows the contrast. He knows by experi- ence why and in what ways America is better. We challenge any native American to read the full series, “What America Has Done for Me,” and then deny that “Whe'is a better American for having done so. t» Such tributes to America—many written “without expecting’to win a prize”—are well worth while at a time when there is destructive foreignism on the one hand and dangerous provincial know-nothingism on the nt Ee ee Se ee ae a i ‘ ; Se.

Nobody has appeared more determined than Mr. seemed to be the least remaining hope of casting dis- credit on the President. But although Mr. Lodge promptly took up the President's challenge and pro- fessed delight at the idea of a referendum,’ subsequent roports show a marked change in the Senator from Massachusetts. Despatches from Washington last Saturday described a new Mr, Lodge—amiable, con- ciliatory, ready to meet his opponents half-way. There can be little doubt that this week finds United Siates Senators much more concerned than heretofore over what the country really thinks about the treaty and the League of Nations. , Without choosing tactful or diplomatic means, the President contrived nevertheless to remind the Senate that it does make considerable difference how a major- ity of Americans feel about ratification and that no political pariy can safely go on playing a game that ignores that feeling. By far the larger part of the American people were long ago convinced that the League of Nations is some- thing immeasurably bigger than a pet, personal scheme evolved by Woodrow Wilson, They are level-headed enough to see that a proposed covenant between nations arrived at after months of discussion, contention and compromise cannot be taken to pieces and rewritten in the United States merely to ‘enable Republican party leaders to discredit a Demo- cratic President who happened to represent this Nation at the drawing up of the covenant, They believe the United States powerful enough, suf- ficiently able to take care of itself, to enter a League of Nations without demanding special favors and im- munities, No Senator can afford to shut his eyes to the truth. Party or no party, compromise, to satisfy a majority of Americans, has got to be something that will insure this Nation peace and immediate and honorable mem- bership in the League of Nations, Since Saturday Europe has been at peace.
