Show NOT DESERVING OF CITIZENSHIP The Rev. Karl Otto Walter, formerly a resident of Hoboken. was denied citizenship papers by Supreme Court Justice McCarthy re-, cently on the ground he had claimed exemption from the draft as an alien. "You stepped aside when the war came," Justice McCarthy said, "to make place for some other mother's son." Hurrah for Judge McCarthy! You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear, nor a good j American from a draft dodger. And the more publicity given the j fact, the less will be the applications for citizenship papers from those who think the United States is "a good thing" and an easy mark. A flag good enough -to live under is good enough to fight under. A land good enough to live on is good enough to die for. A country good enough to live in is good enough to defend. Heaven Heav-en be thanked for the McCartys who guard the great gift of citizenship citizen-ship with such high ideals. Port. Record. |
