Disfranchise All Who
Cannot Speak English
Says Ex-vice President
No Man Is an American I'ntil lie Has Learned the
American Lanuuaec. Former Vice Presi
dent Says in St. Louis Lecture
The following extract from
a lecture delivered in St. Louis
by Thus. R. Marshall, former
vice president of the United
States, contains some things
that are worthy of the consider
ation of every real American
citizen.
“Peace was meant for men of
good will and nations of good
will,” said Mr, Marshall, “and
we cannot give to America the
leadership in world peace when
she is not ready for it. 1 don’t
think we are ready. We need
a cohesive, intelligent Ameri
canism, a coherent voice of
citizenship. Our constitution
and laws are written in the
English language. I’m not here
to proclaim it the best language
on earth. In fact, I don’t speak
it correctly enough for that—
I speak it 1 lousier. Rut I insist
that as long as this is the
American language no man
is an American until he has
learned it.
Tells of Experience
“Let me tell you of an ex
perience I hail in Indianapolis
during the election of 1920. I
went up to the polls to vote. I
saw the instructions to voters
posted outside the poling place
in English and then in five
other languages. Most of the
voters seemed to be reading the
other posters. I couldn’t read
any but the English. So I be
lieve to this day that the other
Instructions ordered all voters
to vote the Republican ticket!
Something told them to vote
the Republican ticket. We only
have to look at the election re
turns to know that.
“Here we are expecting
America to take a voice in
world affairs, to solidly de
mand eternal peace. How is
she going to do that
when her voice has a
Russian -Italian-Polish-Sweed .
ish-Finnish burr? How are we
going to place men in office
who stand for true American-!
ism when they must have inter
preters to translate their cam
paign speeches? Are we to
have a united front as we enter
European affairs when percent
ages of our population are still
heart and mind an soul in va
rious sections of the continent?
Lineups That Won’t Melt.
“1 say that if a man isn't
fond enough of America to
It arn its language, let him get
out. Until hi* does he shouldn't
vote. I’m for the melting pot,
hut if there are any lumps in
the pot that won’t melt get rid
of them. 1 respect every nat
uralized citizen who really
makes an effort to merge with
us and our ideals. He’s a bet
ter citizen than 1 am because
he* made the choice. Divine
Providence set me clown in the
swaps of Northern Indiana. I
couldn’t help my self. 1 could
only approve of his decision.
1 believe that the soul of
America is expressive of an in
tense hatred of wrong. These
two fierce passions will get us
into enough trouble if we talk
English alone, without having
other complications.
“Then 1 see a second evil in
American life today, a second
encumbrance to us on the way
to peace. That is the denomin
ationalism in religion and its
tendency to stray into politics.
Right in America today there
are Catholics who believe that
there is a dark conspiracy of
Masonic origin to close up all
Catholic churches, and expel
Horn the country every man
who refrains from eating meat
on Friday. On the other hand
there is a large and determined
group of Protestants who firm
ly believe that the papal bull
will charge down the street
some morning and gore their
children. We are forgetting
the principle of democracy that
every man has a right to fol
low the dictates of his own con
science. We are flirting with
an alliance of church and state.
Religious indifference
“From religious intolerance
we have drifted to religious in
difference. It is all right to
follow ones conscience on Sun
day morning if it doesn’t lead
to the golf links. Then we
must feel that something is
wrong. 1 think that the preach
ers of America should go on
a strike and refuse to bury or
marry a person who is no a reg
ularly supporting member of
some church. Too many of us
forget about church until the
day approaches when we want
to march down the aisles and
have its sanction to our mar
riage or when we expect to lie
carried down the aisles for its
last rites.
“Thirdly, we come to Ameri

can slackness in law enforce
ment. We are law-abiding, but
not law-enforcing. We govern
our conduct too much by the
Congress of the United States
and the General Assembly of
Missouri and not enough by
the four Gospels of Jesus
Christ. In the old days when
1 first began to practice law a
man would come and lay his
i (use before me. Then he
j would say: “Am I right?"
Then a few years ago he’d tell
me what he wanted to do and '
ask: “Can 1 win?” So I quit!
law and went into politics.
“We’re all figuring today on
how we can walk past the pen
itentiary door instead of ask
ing ourselve whether we’re
passing mother’s knee.
Substitute Ten Comanmdments
“Thats what started the or
ganization called the Ku Klux
Klan. I do not know whether
the Ku Klux Klan is strong in
St. Louis or not—anyway do
not be alarmed, I’m not going
to deliver an attack on them.
But we shouldn’t need a club
to make us fall in line. And
we shouldn’t fool ourselves in
to thinking that laws are bet
ter than the men who make
them. Sometimes I think that,
we should repeal every statute ]
on the books and subtitute thej

“Love thy neighbor as thyself.”
“Take our fight between
capital and labor. If I were
the president of a big corpora
tion I would not vote for a law
that would compel me to put
a labor representative on on
board of directors. But I
would leave the laws alone
and find it in my heart to have
labor represented there. When
the laboring man and the cap
tilist can sit in the same pew
on Sunday as brothers and live
all the other days of the week
as brothers, then we will be
gin to see our way to peace a
little clearer.
“I was misquoted a short
time ago. A newspaper re
porter wrote that 1 advocated
ending every atheist from
America. God knows, I never
(said that. To my notion an
1 atheist is a liar. And I’d never
'dream of proposing scuh a
strength-sapping exodus from
I this country!
