Honorable James B. Aswell in a Stirring Address Calls America to Action

A Moving-Picture Transmitted by Voice


From an Editorial in the News Leader, Richmond, Va.
The personality of such a man as Representative James B. Aswell, for six terms representative from Louisiana, is evidence that there is still a good deal of color and force in Congress.
With his white mane and his exceptionally clear, direct and appealing delivery, Mr. Aswell held spellbound his audience while he poured out his story of what he recently saw in Europe in company with the Secretary of Labor.  It was like a moving-picture transmitted by voice, if one can imagine such a thing.



Landing at Cherbourg, France, Mr. Aswell visited the chief embarkation points of Europe, saw the actual conditions, talked with the President of Austria and many other high Government officials who told him frankly that they send to America only their rubbish—that they keep their good citizens at home.

Shall the alien in America be assimilated and Americanized, or will the alien be permitted to alienize America?  This is a vital question, and it should not be decided by special interests or for sentimental reasons.  Drastic provisions to preserve America for Americans are imperative.

To colleges, universities, normal schools, churches, Chambers of Commerce, Rotary, Lions, and Kiwanis Clubs, posts of the American Legion, State Legislatures—to thinking America—Congressman Aswell makes clear our problem and presents a remedy.


Brief Comments by the Press and Prominent People

Congressman Aswell's address was eloquent, pathetic, and witty throughout and kept his audience on the qui vive of expectancy for what was coming next.  He would tell some pathetic story, which would almost move his hearers to tears, and this would be followed by the relation of some humorous incident which would bring forth an uproar of laughter.
