President Wilson's Address Before a
Meeting of Recently Naturalized
Citizens at Philadelphia
"It warms my heart that you should
give me such a reception, but it is not
of myself that I -w ish to think tonight,
but of those who have just become
citizens of the United States. This
is the only country in the world which
experiences this constant and repeat
ed rebirth. Other countries depend
upon the multiplication of their own
native people. This country is con
stantly drinking strength out of new
sources by the voluntary Association
with it of gTeat bodies of strong men
and forward looking women. And so
by the gifts of the free will of inde
pendent people it is constantly being
renewed from generation to genera
tion by the same process by which it
was originally created. It is as if
humanity had determined to see to it
that this great nation, founded for the
benefit of humanity, should not "lack
for the allegiance of the people of the
world.
The Oath of Allegiance
"You have just taken n oath of
allegiance to the United States. Of
allegiance to whom? Of allegiance to
no one, unless it be God. Certainly
not of allegiance to those who tem
porarily represent this great govern
ment You have taken an oath of al
legiance to a great ideal, to a great
body of principles, to a great hope of
the human race. You have said 'we
are going to America; not only to
earn a living, not only to seek the
things which it was more difficult to
obtain where you were born, but to
help forward the great enterprises of
the human spirit to let me know
that everywhere in the world there
are men who will cross strange
oceans and go where a speech is
spoken which is alien to them, know
ing that whatever the speech, there is
but one longing and utterance of the
human heart and that is for liberty
and justice. And while your bring all
countries with you, come with a pur
pose of leaving all countries behind
you bringing what is best of their
spirit, but not looking over your
shoulders and seeking to perpetuate
what vou intend to leave in them. I
certainly would not be one even to
suggest that a man cease to love the
home of his birth and the nation of
his origin these things are very sa
cred and ought not to be put out of
our hearts but it is one thing to love
the place where you were born and it
is another thing to dedicate yourself
to the place to which you go. You
cannot dedicate yourself to America
unless you become in every respect
and with every purpose of your will
thoroughly American. You cannot be
come thoroughly Americans if you
think of yourselves in groups. Amer
ica does not consist of groups. A man
who thinks of himself as belonging to
a particular national group in Amer
ica has not yet become an American,
and no worthy son to live under the
stars and stripes.
Think First of Humanity.
"My urgent advice to you would be
not only always to think of America,
but always to think first of humanity.
You do not love humanity if you seek
to divide humanity into jealous camps.
Humanity can be welded together only
by love, by sympathy, by justice, not
jealousy and hatred. ' 1 am sorry for
the man who seeks to make personal
capital out of the passion of his fel
lo wmen. He has lost the touch and
ideal of America, for America was
created to unite mankind by those
passions which separate and debase.
We came to America, either ourselves
or in persons of our ancestors, to bet
ter the ideals of men. to make them
see finer things than they bad seen
before, to get rid of things that divide
and to make sure of the things that
unite, tt was but an historical acci
dent, no doubt, that this great country
mas called the 'United States,' and yet
I am very thankful that it has the
word 'united in its title; and the man
who seeks to divide, man from man,
group from group, intent from inter
est, in the United States is striking at
its very heart.
To Country of Promise
"It is a very interesting circum
stance to me in thinking of those of
you who have Just sworn allegiance to
this government that you were drawn
across the ocean by some beckoning
finger of hope, by some belief, by
some vision of a new kind of justice,
by some expectation of a better kind
of life. No doubt you have been dis
appointed in some of us. Some of us
are very disappointing. No doubt you
have found that justice in the United
States goes with a pure heart and
right purpose as it does everywhere
else in the world. No doubt what you
found here did not seem to be touched
for you, after all, with the complete
beauty of the ideal which you have
conceived beforehand. But, remember
this, if you had grown at all poor in
the ideal, you brought some of it with
you. A man does not go out to seek
the thing that is not in him. A man
does not hope for the thing that he
does not believe in and if some of us
have forgotten what America believed
in you, at any rate, imported in your
own hearts a renewal of the belief.
That is the reason that I for one make
you this welcome. If I have in any
degree forgotten what America is in
tended for, I will thank God if yu
will remind me. I was born in Amer
ica. You dreamed of what America
was to be, and I hope you brought the
dreames with you. No man that does
not see visions will ever realize any
high hope or undertake any high en
terprise. Just because you brought
dreams with you America is more
likely to realize the dreams such as
you brought. You are enriching us
if you come expecting us to be better
than we are.
.What Americanism Means
"See, my friends, what that means,
it means that Americans must have a
consciousness different from the con
sciousness of ever other nation in
the world. I am not saying this with
even the slightest thought of criticism
of other nations. You know how it is
with a family. A family gets centered
on itself if it is not careful and is less
interested in the neighbors than it is
in its own members. So a nation that
is not constantly renewed out of new
sources is apt to have the narrowness
and prejudice of a family, whereas,
America must have this conscious
ness, that on all sides it touches el
bows and touches hearts w ith all the
nations of mankind. The example of
America must be a special example.
The example of America must be the
example not merely of peace, because,
peace is the healing and elevating in
fluence of the world and strife is not
There is such a thing as a man be
ing too proud to fight. There is such
a thing as a nation being so right
that it does not need to convince
others by force that it is right.
"So if you come into this great na
tion as you have come, voluntarily
seeking something that we have to
give, all that we have to give is this:
We cannot exempt you from work.
No man is exempt from work any
where in the world. I sometimes
think he is fortunate if he has to work
only with his hands and not with his
head. It is very easy to do what
other people give you to do, but it is
very difficult to give other people
things to do. We cannot exempt you
from work, we cannot exempt youl
from the strife and the heartDreaKing
burden of the struggle of the day
that is common to mankind every
where, we cannot exempt you from
the loads that you must carry, we can
only make them light by the spirit in
which they are carried. That is the
spirit of hope, it is the spirit of lib
erty, it is the spirit of justice.
Too Many Lies at Washington
"When I was asked, therefore, by
the mayor and the committee that ac
complied Lim to come up from Wash-J
lngton to meet this great company of !
newly admitted citizens, I could not
decline the invitation. I ought not be
away from Washington and yet I feel
that it has renewed my spirit as an
American. In Washington men tell
you so many things every day that
are not so, and I like to come and
stand in the presence of a great body
of my fellow citizens whether they
have been my fellow citizens a long
time or a short time, and drink, as it
were, out of the common fountain
with them, and go baclf feeling that
you have so generously given me, the
sense of your support and of the living
vitality in your hearts, of its great
ideals which made America the hope
of the world.''
The sentiment expressed in the
president's speech was epitomized
later by one of his closest advisers
as "humanity first." While it had not
yet been determined, he said, exactly
what steps would be taken by the
United States in the present crisis,
the idea uppermost in the president's
mind was to show that whatever
courts is adopted no mater how vig
orous it will have as its objective
the good of humanity.
