Excerpt from The Square Deal in the Pacific: A Presentation of the Arguments in Favor of a Modification of the United States Immigration Act of 1924, the Elimination of the Discriminatory Exclusion Clause, Section 13-C, and the Extension of the Quota System to China, Japan
Nor can anyone justify this procedure on the ground of patriotism. Around the term patriotism unfortunately many false ideas have collected. And surely in this case we can make no appeal to patriotism, if patriotism be conceived in any true sense. No one today can sub scribe to the old slogan, My country, right or wrong! Patriotism, if it is to mean anything, must manifest itself in an ardent desire to see one's country act with justice and with high integrity toward all. And the patriotic citizen is he who is ready to exert every effort to assist her in so doing.
Now the part of a gentleman the world over is instinctively to desire to correct an error, to rectify a hasty judgment, to make amends for an act of discourtesy. This is the universally accepted code of sportsmanship. This the opponents of quota choose to call timidity. They prognosticate the future and speak cryptically of an opening wedge created through the extension of quota, hinting darkly of menacing demands on the part of Japan and other Asiatic countries; demands which we will be unprepared to meet and unable to refuse. That the United States, the most powerful country in the world today, cannot meet in the proper manner and in a spirit of approved courtesy any such future demands, is, I maintain, an assumption be neath the dignity of any citizen of a great nation with a record such as ours.
