...average alien does not understand what is the matter with him; and in many cases, unfortunately, he does not care. He does not understand the fundamental principles of Anglo-Saxon government, it is true; but it has taken our own race a thousand years to develop those principles to the point they have now reached and we cannot expect the alien to learn them in a day.

In the present times of internal turmoil and disorder the advantages of such a policy are brought home to us with unusual force. What more effective way is there to inculcate in alien citizens the responsibilities of American citizenship than by giving them a period of service in a democratic army? General Pershing, appearing before the Joint Military Committee of Congress, said "Universal training is in a sense a school for citizenship. . . the necessity of this is evidenced by the fact that over thirty...
