Americanism

By LEONARD WOOD

Ono country, one conatituUon. on* daatiny.—Daniel Wobetar: Speech March 14, 1537. COUNTRY." There la 9 _ VJ whole sermon In thee* tw* words emphasized they were by the eloquence of Webster and understood in all their meat of meaning by those who heard them and by those who later read them. Americanization has to do first with the foreign born who come to our shores and of those native born who need the lesson, “On* Country." There can be no double allegiance. The native born who need an understanding of this truth are those who. put the flag of some fallacy which they call an ideal above the flag of their country. In this sense their allegiance is dual. They are dreamers rather than patriots and their dreams are generally baseless fabrics. In the work of Americanization of the foreign born who come to this country to seek equality of opportunity and liberty under the law, it is necessary first to make them know that their allegiance once given t* this country they must forego their allegiance to any other land under the sun. It t* a perfectly natural thing that a man should look back to the land of his birth with affection, but the very fact that he left It for another land proves that he believed in his heart the other land was the better one It is, therefore, to this adopted land that* he should give his heart and his hand, and when one gives these be pledges loyalty. Americanization means the Americanizing of the people. It is complete only when the man or the woman Is an American with no other country in the balance of his affections. An American lives In America and lives for America. “One Constitution." In a sense th* constitution of a country is the country itself. It forms the basis of the country’s liberties. It is the law of patriotism. The breaker ‘of the law is n* true American. The Constitution has been amended. It is within the power of the people to amend it at any time that the proper majority *f them may wish. It is the statute of liberty. A man cannot support the country without supporting the Constitution. which is the bulwark of the freedom of the people “One Destiny.” Destiny is the lot of man It Is that to which he is appointed and in a still higher sense It is that to which he Is consecrated. The lot of man Is his daily lot and In the sense of destiny it is his lot until the end of time. The. destiny of America, therefore, is continued and unending liberty. The keeping of the continuity *f freedom is in th* hands of the people. If they are all Americans in the high sense they will keep their trust until the end.

The Cost of a Hole in the Ground COMMENTING upon tne rise in the price ' of gasoline, a man who is unfamiliar with petroleum production writes: “The Lord, who put the oil in the * x earth, charges no more for it than he ever did. It comes for nothing out • of the ground when you dig a note. This is true, if it comes out of the ground - without help. The greatly increased cost lies in digging the hole,-casing it, caring for the oil when it comes out, and transporting and handling it on its way to* the refinery. Petroleum Age in its September issue says: “The cost of drilling and equipping a well at the present scale of prices for material and labor runs from Five Thousand Dollars for a shallow sand pumper to Seventy-five Thousand Dollars for the deep wells. A general average covering the entire country would run about Twenty Thousand Dollars per well.” One item which is often overlooked is the cost of dril- ’ ling wells which fail to produce oil. It is estimated that from 20 to 36 percent of all wells put down are dry holes. Yet, in spite of all discouragements, which included shortage of casing, difficulties of transportation, and the increasing expense of labor, on July 31st, 1920, there were eleven thousand wells drilling or under way > east of the Rocky Mountains, with completions averaging about, three thousand wells a month. Probably thirty-six thousand wells win be completed during 1920. The total expense including investment in drilling > tools, lease equipment and labor, is roughly estimated at one billion dollars. * Deducting two hundred, fifty million dollars (25 per- - cent) for salvage on equipment susceptible of further use, the net investment in new production for the year will be seven hundred fifty million dollars. It is apparent that oil does not come “for nothing out of the ground.” Oil is usually discovered in spots remote from rail • centers. The cost of pumping and transporting it to % * the refinery is a heavy charge. At the refinery charges begin tp pile up, for refining oil is a true manufacturing process involving application of chemistry, the use , • of specialized machinery, and human labor. All of these factors add to the cost of a product which _ Nature has given us. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been steadfastly applying the trained power of jts organization to increasing the yield of-gasolinq. from crude, and in achieving economies by large scale operations in refining and distributing its products.
