  Speaker 1: Immigrants All by the United States Department of the Interior,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Office of Education, Section two. What brought us to the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: United States. Have you ever played with a magnet and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: a bunch of iron filings? Wasn't it amazing to see
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the bits of iron leap across space to reach and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: cling to the magnet. This story is about a magnet
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: much larger and more powerful than you have ever imagined.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: One three thousand miles long and fifteen hundred miles wide.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: A different kind of magnet two, one that attracted not
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: iron filings, but human beings, real live people. A magnet
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that attracted every type and variety of human being alive,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: white people, black people, yellow people, Catholics, Protestants, Huguenots, Quakers, Baptists, Methodists, Unitarians, Jews, Spaniards, Danes, Chinese, Japanese, Dutch, Bohemians, Italians, Austrians, Slavs, Poles, Romanians, Russians.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: And I've only just begun. Farmers, miners, adventurers, soldiers, sailors,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: rich men, poor men, beggarman, thieves, shoemakers, tailors, actors, musicians, ministers, engineers, writers, singers,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: ditch diggers, manufacturers, butchers, bakers, and candlestick makers. That magnet
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: was America from We the People by Leo Hubermann. Ever
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: since the dawn of history, man has been on the move,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: restlessly seeking new environments in an effort to satisfy his
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: physical and other needs. In the main, his wanderings have
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: been local in character, highlighted by occasional mass migrations, which
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: have had a marked effect upon the history of the world.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Among such mass migrations may be cited the migration of
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the Israelites from Palestine to Egypt, of the Germanic tribes
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: into the Roman Empire, of the Saxons and Danes to England,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: of the Moors from the north of Africa to Spain,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and of the Mongols and the Tartars from the Orient
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: to Central Asia. Great as these migrations were, and important
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: as their effect was on the course of history, they
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: did not compare with the stream of humanity that began
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: to flow to this country early in the seventeenth century,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: a stream that assumed flood proportions toward the close of
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the nineteenth century. Not only did the movement of peoples
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: to our shores differ in magnitude from other migrations, it
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: also differed in character. Whereas earlier mass migrations had consisted
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: of the movements of tribes and distinct racial groups. The
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: migration to the New World consisted of men of all
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: racist nations and creeds. A pageant of all the nations
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: great historic freedoms. What motives impelled these people to uproot
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: themselves from their homelands and to transport themselves to a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: country where it was necessary to adjust themselves to a
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: new environment and culture pattern. Many came for the love adventure,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: answering the challenge of the unknown. Were mercenary soldiers seeking
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: new exploits. Others came because they were friendless, down and
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: outers and ne'er do wells seeking a chance to begin
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: life anew. There were still others, like the negroes, who,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: although the majority did not come of their own free will,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: nevertheless contributed toil and labor to the making of America.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Commercial enterprise and the hope of economic gain have, of
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: course been important factors in the peopling of our country,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: So also has the search for freedom. In fact, the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: cherished moral ideals and objectives of the immigrants laid the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: foundations of our democratic ideals. These great historic freedoms include
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: one religious liberty freedom of conscience. Number two personal and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: political liberty, freedom from political tyranny and oppression. Number three.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Economic liberty freedom to use brain, brawn and initiative to
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: earn the best living possible. Number four. Intellectual liberty, freedom
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of opinion, speech, assembly, and press. Number five Cultural liberty
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: freedom to establish institutions and to practice certain traditions and customs.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: The search for human freedom can be advanced with historical
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: warrant as the basic reason for the presence in this
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: country of about one hundred thirty million people. Without question,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: this is the common denominator of our democracy. Religious liberty.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: The vanguard of those seeking refuge from religious persecution, arrived
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: on the Mayflower and settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts. John Winthrop
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony as a refuge for Puritans.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Maryland later on became the haven for persecuted Catholics. Rhode
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Island was founded by Roger Williams and his group of
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: independent religious freethinkers. Here the Quakers found a ready welcome,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and the Jews driven out of Europe were allowed to
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: build their synagogues. Toward the end of the seventeenth century,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: William Penn and his Quaker followers settled in Pennsylvania and
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: cultivated the most friendly relationships with Indians, colonists, and new
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: settlers alike. To Manhattan Island and South Carolina came their
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: French Huguenots, a group of French Protestants whose guarantee of
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: religious liberty had been revoked by the Edict of Naught
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: during the nineteenth century. One of the early acts of
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the Mormons after settling in Utah was to contribute money
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: toward building a Catholic church personal and political liberty. To
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: escape political tyranny and oppression, thousands of people left their
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: homes and crossed the Atlantic following their unsuccessful rebellion against
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the English. The Irish came in large numbers, so did
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the Germans when the Revolution of eighteen forty eight failed. Likewise,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the Jews left Russia toward the close of the nineteenth
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: century in order to escape intolerable conditions. Among the great
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: champions of personal liberty has been Thomas Paine, who turned
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the tide of victory during the Revolutionary War when he declared,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: this is the cause for which we are ready to
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: suffer and to die freedom for ourselves and the rest
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: of the world. Another outstanding champion of personal liberty was
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Karl Schertz, one of the German forty eight ers, who
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: supported men of principles and worthy causes, regardless of political affiliations.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Economic liberty, coupled with other motives, the newcomer has almost
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: always been imbued with the hope of making a livelihood
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: or of making profits for himself or for his employers.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: The first permanent settlement was established at Jamestown by the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: London Company to profit from gold mining and trade. New
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Hampshire was founded by Georgia and Mason for the purpose
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: of profit from trade and farming. The Carolinas were founded
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: by a group of nobles for the same purpose. It
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: was a similar motive which led the Swedes to settle
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: on the Delaware, the Netherlanders to settle on Manhattan, English
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: to conquer New Amsterdam, and Berkeley and Carteret to settle
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: New Jersey. It was the hope of game which brought
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: the French to Louisiana and the Spaniards to Florida, New
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Mexico and California. Likewise, at the close of the nineteenth century,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: it was the high wages and high standards of living
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: which attracted the tide of people who poured in from
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: South and Eastern Europe. Intellectual liberty. The fight of man
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: to establish freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, and freedom
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: of assembly is as old as man himself. For the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: last two hundred years, his fight for the freedom of
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the press has been equally important. Peter Zenger, who founded
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the New York Weekly Journal in seventeen thirty three, registered
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a great triumph for the freedom of the press when
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: he won his fight against Governor Cosby of New York.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Men of strong principles and ideas have always clashed with
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: those who would mold them to a definite pattern and
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: so enslave their minds. In this country, the thoughts and
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: ideas of all men may be expressed freely and analyzed
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: by everybody. Cultural liberty the United States has been greatly
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: enriched as the result of cultural liberty. Here, the immigrant
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: has often found the opportunity to practice and pass on
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: to others those customs and traditions which have been handed
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: down to him by his ancestors. The Christmas, Tree, Easter, Bunny,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: and New Year festivities are German in origin. Many of
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: the festivals in California and the Rodeo are Spanish in origin.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Singing societies, folk dancing, games, cookery, and home life have
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: been enriched by customs introduced from other lands. Immigration has
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: indeed proved to be a wind that blows democratic ideas
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: through the world and of section Section three of American

• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the Interior Office of Education, Section four. The development of
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: our immig gretion policy. Those who have come to our shores,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: representing many kindreds and tongues, have been welded by common
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: opportunity into a united patriotism by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Long
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: before the Revolutionary War, the colonies enacted a restrictive immigration laws.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Many of these laws were based on religious prejudices, which,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: although somewhat softened in intensity, still existed when the new
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: nation was born. Fear and consequent hatred of foreigners and
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: foreign influence were widely prevalent in the early years of
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: the Republic. John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, Patrick, Henry, John Jay,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: and other prominent statesmen opposed the introduction of aliens into
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: the political or economic life of the country. Thomas Jefferson
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: believed that natural expansion of the exists distinct population would
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: be sufficient to meet the country's needs. Even George Washington
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: in seventeen ninety four said, my opinion with respect to
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: emigration is that, except of useful mechanics and some particular
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: descriptions of men or professions, there is no need of encouragement.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: The prevailing spirit found expression in stringent naturalization laws, which however,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: were soon modified the open door. While the federal government
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: was not unmindful of its inherent right to determine who
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: might or might not come or remain within its borders,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: yet for one hundred years after the Revolutionary War ended,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the country's doors were open to all who chose to enter,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: regardless of race, of physical, mental, or economic condition, of
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: religious or political affiliation, or even of moral character. An
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: era of comparative tranquility prevailed toward immigration until the eighteen forties,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: when a great flood of immigrants focused hostility against the
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Germans and Irish, a feeling which continued until the outbreak
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: of the Civil War. A strong movement developed in Congress
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: in favor of regulating or even limiting immigration, but nothing
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: came of it. In a message to Congress in eighteen
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: forty one, President Tyler gave expression to a sentiment that
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: grew stronger with the passing of the years. He said,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: we hold out to the people of other countries on
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: invitation to come and settle among us as members of
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: our rapidly growing family. And for the blessings we offer them,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: we require of them to look upon our country as
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: their country, and unite with us in the great task
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: of preserving our institutions and thereby perpetuating our liberties. The
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: open door policy continued, for Congress was reluctant to abandon
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the time honored belief that the United States had been
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: dedicated at the beginning as a refuge for the oppressed
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: people of all nations. Such legislation as was enacted during
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: this period, including three laws for the improvement of conditions
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: on immigrant carrying ships, indicated the sympathetic attitude of Congress
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: toward the incoming multitudes. Congress again favored the foreign born
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: by providing that aliens who had declared an intention to
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: become citizens might enjoy the benefits of the Homestead Act
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: of eighteen sixty two. This privilege was later on destined
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: to accelerate the settlement of public lands in the West.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Because man power in industry and agriculture had been depleted
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: during the War between the States, a federal law to
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: stimulate immigration was enacted in eighteen sixty four, but it
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: was soon repealed when peace was restored federal control. In
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the absence of federal action, several seaboard states attempted immigration control,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: but after many years of effort, the Supreme Court held
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: that Congress alone had such power. Congress assumed this power
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: in eighteen eighty two when it reluctantly passed the first
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: general immigration law, which provided only that idiots, lunatics, persons
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: likely to become a public charge, and criminals other than
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: political offenders should be denied admission. This law marked the
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: beginning of a policy of quality selection which dominated all
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: subsequent legislation. In eighteen eighty two, because of Western opposition,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Chinese laborers were excluded, a policy subsequently extended to include
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: practically all Orientals. Teen eighty four, a law forbidding the
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: importation of foreign labor under contract was passed, but necessary
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: skilled laborers and members of learned professions were exempted. Thus
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: was Washington's opinion unwittingly honored. While Congress was developing a
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: more stringent selective policy, immigration increased by leaps and bounds,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: with a shift in the incoming tide from northern and
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: western to southern and Eastern Europeans unable to function economically, socially,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: or politically in their homelands, A steady stream of immigrants
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: was spreading over the United States in answer to the
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: demand for unskilled labor for more than thirty years. The
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: words of Emma Lazarus, carved on the pedestal of the
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Statue of Liberty, had vital meaning, give me your tired,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: you're poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: wretched refuse of your team mean sure, send these the homeless,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: the tempest tossed to me. I lift my lap beside
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: the golden door, checking the tide. The endless stream of
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: newcomers whose economic and political backgrounds differed from those of
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: the earlier immigrants, led to a search for some method
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: of checking the new emigration. With this end in view,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: the application of a literacy test was advocated. Presidents Cleveland
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: and Taft had vetoed acts which contained this provision, and
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: President Wilson twice repudiated it. However, it became part of
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: the General Law of nineteen seventeen over presidential objection. In
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: a reference to the immigrants, President Wilson said, some of
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: the best stuff in America has come out of foreign lands,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: and some of the best stuff in America is in
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: the men who are naturalized citizens of the United States.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: In the meantime, during the administration of President Theodore Roosevelt.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: A Gentleman's Agreement had been made with Japan in nineteen
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: o seven, whereby Japan undertook to check the immigration of
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Japanese laborers to the United States. Immigration from Europe was
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: largely suspended during the World War, but it rapidly increased
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: thereafter until it was checked by the Temporary Quota Limit
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Law of nineteen twenty one and definitely limited by the
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Permanent Quota Limit Law of nineteen twenty four. By this law,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: immigration was restricted to one hundred fifty thousand annually, with
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: quotas allotted to the various nations based on the census
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: of eighteen ninety. In nineteen twenty nine, the quota based
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: on the census of nineteen twenty went into effect, bringing
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: the total immigration quota to about one hundred fifty three
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: thousand annually. The theory that America should be a refuge
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: for the oppressed of all nations has been quite generally
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: honored in shaping our immigration policy. However, the United States
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: is no longer a refuge for the oppressed people of
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: all the world in the same way as it was
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: in the past. Our present policy is that immigrations shall
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: be limited to a fixed number, that such immigrants shall
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: be of good character and well disposed toward American institutions. For,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: in the words of former President Coolidge, whether one traces
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: his Americanism back three centuries to the Mayflower or three
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: years to the Steerage, is not half so important as
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: whether his Americanism today is real and genuine. No matter
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: on what various crafts we came here, we are all
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: now in the same boat sidebar ourselves and our neighbors.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: A recent dinner in Chicago with Catholic friends whose parents
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: came from Italy, a conference with a group of twenty
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: five cultured Negro men and women at Chicago University, and
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: a visit in Des Moines, Iowa with a close personal
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: friend of mine, a rabbi, or a few personal experiences
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: which show in a very real way how a relatively
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: free society enables us to enrich our lives through fellowship
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: with men of different races and religions. In this nation
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: to which more than thirty eight million immigrants have come
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: during the last one hundred twenty years, the struggle of
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: people of all races and of many creeds has been
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: and is consciously toward the goal of human understanding intolerance.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: This is an effort to elevate human welfare, irrespective of race, color,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: or creed, and to rise to new heights of civilization
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: with the help of all contributions to our culture. A
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: distinguishing characteristic of a true American is that he measures
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: men of all races and creeds by their achievement, their
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: honesty of purpose, and their humility. Signed. J. W. Studebaker,

• 38:07
  Speaker 1: wealth of any nation is its people, attributed to Alan H. Eaton.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: To paint an adequate picture of the part which the
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: immigrant has played in the economic progress of the United States,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: it would be necessary, as Rudyard Kipling says, to splash
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: at a ten league canvas with brushes of comets hair.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: The industrial and agricultural greatness of the United States has
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: been made possible by the brawn and brain of the
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: immigrants and their children. Cotton, the important part played by
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: the Nigro and the agricultural life of the South, is
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: nowhere more vividly portrayed than by the story of King Cotton.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Cotton production, which amounted to eighty five million pounds in
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: eighteen ten, doubled every ten years for the following three decades.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: By eighteen forty, two thirds of the world's cotton supply
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: was produced in the South, and by eighteen fifty, cotton
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: valued at ninety eight million dollars was raised in nineteen
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: thirty seven. In nineteen thirty eight, the United States produced
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: four times as much cotton as the rest of the
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: world USA eighteen million, nine hundred forty six thousand bales, Brazil,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: as an example, two million, one hundred seven thousand, eight
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: hundred thirty nine bales. Much of the credit for this
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: amazing achievement goes to the Nigro, whose labor has been
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: the foundation of our cotton kingdom. Tobacco, the story of
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: tobacco is too largely the achievement of Nigro labor. In
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: sixteen eighteen, the Virginia planters exported twenty pounds of tobacco,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: which increased to one million, five five hundred thousand pounds
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: in sixteen thirty nine and reached a total of fifty
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: three million pounds in seventeen seventy three. In nineteen thirty seven,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: the United States raised more than one fourth of the
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: world's tobacco supply. As an example, USA one billion, five
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: hundred fifty three million pounds, China one billion, four hundred
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: million pounds, India one billion, two hundred million pounds. In
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: addition to his labor in the cotton and tobacco fields,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: the Negro has also helped to make profitable the production
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: of rice and sugar. Railroads. The railroad played a great
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: part in the settling of the West. With the completion
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: of the Erie Canal, the Irish transferred their energy and
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: labor to building tracks for the Transcontinental Railroad. The Chinese
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: also labored on the West End. Today, Irish, Chinese, Italian,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: and Mexican laborers helped to maintain the railroads. In nineteen
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: thirty seven, almost one half the world's miles of railways
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: were in our country. As an example, USA two hundred
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: thirty eight thousand, five hundred thirty nine miles, Russia fifty
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: two thousand, four hundred twenty five miles, India forty three thousand,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: one hundred twenty eight miles. Automobiles. Natural resources and inventive
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: genius have enabled us to produce each year three times
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: as many automobiles as the rest of the world put together.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: The work of the Poles, Slavs, Mexicans, and other groups
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: has been an important factor in this phenomenal growth. USA
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: four million, eight hundred and eight thousand, nine hundred seventy four,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Britain four hundred ninety thousand, three hundred sixty six, Germany
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: three hundred thirty one thousand, eight hundred ninety four steel.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Early colonial iron mills were operated by the Germans, whose
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: muskets made in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, were used by the Continental troops.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: In later years, the Poles and Slavs have labored in
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: the great steel mills of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and New York.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: It is the endurance and physical heritage of these sturdy
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: people that have made it possible for us to lead
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: the world in the production of steel. USA fifty million,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: five hundred sixty nine thousand tons, Germany nineteen million, five
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: hundred thirty six thousand tons, Britain twelve million, nine hundred
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: sixty four thousand tons coal. The Wels with the Scotch Irish,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: were the first to develop our coal mines in Pennsylvania
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: and West Virginia. These, together with the English, Irish, Germans,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Poles and Slavs, have made us the chief coal producer
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: of the world. USA four hundred eighty eight million, six
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: hundred ninety two thousand tons, Britain two hundred twenty four
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: million tons, Germany one hundred forty six million, six hundred
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: ninety six thousand tons. Farming. Our debt to the German
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: farmer is great, for he made the wilderness blossom in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: and Missouri. To Minnesota and surrounding states came the Swedes,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Norwegians and Finns with their advanced cooperative methods, and the
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Danes with their dairy methods. Sturdy Czechs farmed a bread
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Gasca and Iowa. The Swiss and Wisconsin helped us to
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: become the greatest cheesemakers in the world. The Russians brought
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: us important seed varieties of wheat rye oats, buckwheat, sunflowers,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: and millet fins. And French Canadians in the Lumbrick camps
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: of Maine and Washington have made it possible for us
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: to produce more than twenty four million board feet of
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: lumber in one year. Portuguese are prominent in the New
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: England fisheries, as are the fins on the Pacific coast.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: The Greeks have developed a flourishing sponge industry in Florida.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Italians are engaged in the marble quarries of Vermont and
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: on truck farms of New Jersey and California. End of

• 45:30
  Speaker 1: of many countries. The mere knowledge of this matchless wealth
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: is an inspiration to anyone who knows it allan h eaton.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Nature is blessed this country with great natural wealth, but
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: immigration has brought us even greater riches in the form
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: of human resources. Andrew Carnegie, himself, an immigrant, was well
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: aware of this when he said, take away my factories,
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: my railroads, my ships, take away my money. Strip me
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: of all these things, but leave me my men, and
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: in two or three years I will have everything back again,
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: priceless gifts transforming her immigrants as they have come, the
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: United States has in turn been enriched and transformed by them.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: The immigrant has played an important part in our cultural
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: as well as in our economic life. One immigrant, Franklin
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: k Lane, who became Secretary of the Interior, wrote feelingly
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: of the contributions which the immigrant has made to American life.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Their music dirge and dance and wassael song, proud march
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: and religious chant, and their instruments for the making of music.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Their poetry, winged tales of man's many passions, folk songs
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: and psalm, ballads of heroes and tunes of the sea,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: glilting scraps caught from the sky and field, or mighty
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: dramas that tell of primal struggles of the profoundest meaning,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: their art, fancies of the mind, woven in wood or wool, silk,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: stone or metal, rugs and baskets, gates of fine design
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: and modeled gardens, houses and walls, pillars, roofs, windows, statues,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: and painting, their art in handcraft, homelike familiar things, a
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: favorite tree or fruit and a customed flower, a style
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: in cookery or in costume, hands with which to work,
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: mines that could conceive, hearts filled with home, stouthearts to drive,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: live mines, live minds, to direct, willing hands. Irish song
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: in wit, German thrift and industry, Scottish virility and genius,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: English love of law and order, Scandinavian honesty and love
• 47:56

• 48:01
  Speaker 1: of life, Indian customs and traditions, Slavic dance and folk song,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: neatness and thoroughness of the Netherlanders, Italian love for art
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: and music, and philosophic tendencies of the Oriental for the
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: beautiful are but a few of the strands that may
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: be found woven into our national pattern the art of
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: living together. Barriers that once existed between racial and national
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: groups in this country are fast disappearing. Cooperative effort and
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: healthy respect are taking their place. We are learning to
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: understand other peoples, to understand ourselves. The newcomers brought with
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: them an ardent desire to improve their conditions. They quickly
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: availed themselves of the opportunity which the public school offered them.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: The school took the child of the exiled of Hungary,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: of the half starved emigrant from the Emerald Isle, and
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: of the hardy Norwegian, and placed them on the same
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: bench with the offspring of those whose ancestors bones bleached
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: upon the fields of Lexington. The library, the church, the
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: motion picture, and radio are also powerful educational agencies in
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: molding the pattern of the new American milestones of progress.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: The immigrant has always been a firm devotee of the
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: ideals of democracy, for in most cases he has suffered religious, political, military,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: or other oppression. Even in the United States, democracy did
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: not begin full tilt. But just as the frontier has
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: been conquered, so too the areas of human rights and
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: freedoms have been extended. The abolition of slavery, universal suffrage,
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: the grant of full rights of citizenship to women, labor legislation,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: and property rights have all been helstones in the onward
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: march of democracy. The immigrant has not been unmindful of
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: the blessings conferred upon him in this country. He has
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: adjusted himself quickly to his new environment. In every crisis,
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: he has faithfully stood by our country and institutions. He
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: has striven to teach his children to love and honor
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: the land which harbors them. All Human history teaches us
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: that the price of human liberty is the continuous enlargement
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: of that liberty. The only safe principle of democracy is justice, equity,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: and equal respect among all our people. Great unfinished tasks
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: remain for us. To solve. Our common loyalty must hold
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: high the torch and pass it on with fire unquenched
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: to the citizen of tomorrow and a section. Section seven

• 51:37
  Speaker 1: means not I'm as good as you are, but you're
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: as good as I am. Theodore Parker. Immigration has made
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: the United States the most composite nation on Earth. More
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: peoples of widely different national and racial origins have been
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: brought together and welded into a single political, economic, and
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: na social system that anywhere else in the world. What
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: constitutes a race? Does each race have certain hereditary characteristics
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: which determine its mental life and social behavior. Is there
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: a racial stock which is superior physically, mentally, and morally
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: to other racial stocks? Just what differences, if any, exists
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: between those who were born here and those who have
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: adopted this country as their homeland. There is no such
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: person as a native American, nor was there ever such
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: a person. If we are to be strictly accurate, we
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: are told that even the American Indian is an immigrant
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: who came from far off Asia by way of the
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Bearing Straits in Alaska. Our ancestors may have come on
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: the Mayflower or in the Steerage. We may be descended
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: from emigrants who settled here generations ago, or we may
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: have come directly from other lands. Yet one fact remains
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: crystal clear. We are all immigrants. Physical characteristics. From the
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: physical standpoint, races do have certain very definite differences that
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: are obvious. One of the most obvious is that of color. White, black, yellow, red, brown,
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: and yellow brown are the colors we usually associate with
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: certain racial types. Some of us are tall, blonde, and
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: blue eyed. Others are short, dark, and brown eyed. Some
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: people have long, narrow heads, while others have short, round heads. However,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: the same physical differences may be found not only between
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: racial and national peoples, but also between individuals within the nation, tribe,
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: or family mental characteristics. In answer to the contention that
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: certain racial groups are mentally superior to others, Friends Boaus,
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: an outstanding signeists, says, no one has ever proved that
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: a human being, through his descent from a group of people,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: must of necessity have certain mental characteristics. If we were
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: to select the most intelligent, imaginative, energetic, and emotionally stable
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: third of mankind, all races would be represented. Hutton, another scientist,
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: is even more emphatic. He declares that each racial type
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: runs the gamut from idiots and criminals to geniuses and statesmen.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: No type produces a majority of individuals from either end
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: of the scale. There are no racial monopolies of either
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: human virtues or vices. Carefully controlled intelligence tests given by
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: educators and scientists to different racial groups show that where
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: environment and social conditions are the same, no group can
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: claim mental superiority. In fact, it has been clearly apparent
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: that men nan everywhere is basically and fundamentally similar, and
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: that his differences, be they physical, mental, or moral, are
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: determined not by race so much as by the social
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: conditions and opportunities around him. Important findings the assimilation of
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: different groups within the United States would seem to show
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: that one under favorable conditions of equal opportunity, all racial groups,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: whatever their original homeland, conditions and status, are capable of
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: rapid social change, both as individuals and as groups. It
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: can be easily shown, says one scientist, how dependent mental
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: differences are upon social conditions. For instance, exact observations have
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: been made on Negroes who have moved from the country
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: to the city, and it has been shown that assimilation
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: of these people to the behavior of the city population
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: takes place within a few Likewise, it has been shown
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: in the case of Italian immigrants that they grow to
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: resemble the Americans in behavior the longer they have been
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: in this country, provided they do not remain isolated. One
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: of the most instructive illustrations of this assimilation is the
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: ease with which children adopt the dialect and manner of
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: expression of their environment. Number two, All groups, under the
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: stimulus of opportunity and contact have capacity to produce exceptional
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: individuals of high creative ability or genius, and thus help
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: build up and perfect human culture. The Nordic and slav
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: the Southern European, and jew Black, white, brown, and yellow
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: have all produced men and women of outstanding brains and genius.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: To confirm these statements, it is only necessary to read
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: in the pages that follow the contributions of the immigrant
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: and his descendants to American life. Research studies conducted on
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: an objective basis prove that individual brilliance may be and
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: is found in all groups. Number Three, under the influence
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: of a common environment, physical and cultural. The offspring of
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: different racial and national groups in a democracy tend toward
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: a common culture with common customs and ideals. John Dewey
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: has emphasized that in a democratic society, individuals give freely
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: to others of the peculiar value, essence, quality, and contribution
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: of the group to which they belong and receive freely
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: the corresponding treasures of other groups, and this without violence
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: to the complete uniqueness of the group. At birth, no
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: individual has any culture, and so the culture eventually acquires
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: as the one he finds around him and is capable
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: of assimilating. However, new conditions bring the need of new
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: ideals and new emphasis on certain aspects of old ideals.
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: Civilization itself is not only safeguarded but advanced when a
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: nation composed of many races finds it possible for each
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: racial group to function creatively in building the culture of
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: the race into the whole culture pattern number four. Within
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: the framework of common political and economic institutions. A variety
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: of cultural elements makes for a richer and more active
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: social culture. In all history, some of the most advanced
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: civilizations have been the product of a mixture of cultures.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: No great nations or civilizations have been born in isolation.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: Inbreeding inevitably results in one sidedness and eventually in stagnation
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: and decadence. Spain was at its greatest when the mixture
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: of people's will at its height, England grew great because
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: the ingredients of many racial groups ran in the Englishman's blood.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: The United States will continue to be great because the
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: intermingling of many groups tends to build a culture or
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: civilization that unifies the best of their contributions. Number five.
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: A civilization of many different elements develops religious, social, and
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: cultural tolerance. It also creates ability, which may permit it
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: to grow and change. End of section. Section eight of
