Excerpt from Europe in the Melting-Pot During the year which followed I was reluctantly driven to admit that good faith and serious intentions were alike lacking at headquarters in Vienna: and the assassination of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand - who with all his faults represented a real driving force and was bent upon a solution of the racial problem - removed the only man at all capable of guiding events or holding back the machine of state from the abyss.

Excerpt from Europe in the Melting-Pot For the ten years preceding the war I had devoted myself to the study of Central European history and politics, especially the problems centring round Austria-Hungary and the Balkans: and my work acquired added zest from the fact that so far as the English language was concerned, I was only too often digging in almost virgin soil. It may be that I was also led on by the altogether exaggerated significance assigned to my work by public opinion in the countries concerned, which was quite unaware of the contrast between its own interest and the profound indifference of the British public towards all such problems. That during these years my views had to undergo repeated and very radical modification is not a fact for which I need apologise; for few countries have ever been more fatal to preconceived notions than the now vanished Habsburg Monarchy, and a writer who after ten years of study still adhered to his original views, would thereby stand self-condemned. My first little essay, "The Future of Austria-Hungary" (1907), was designed to show the superficiality of the thesis "that the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy will collapse at the death of Francis Joseph."

Excerpt from Europe in the Melting Pot: The Historical Background of the Great War If there are intelligent inhabitants on any planet other than this on which we roll through space, we may imagine them looking down at the earth just now and chuckling as they remark: "Well, they are at it again on the earth. Tribes, races, and nations are again in the melting pot." For, though war seems a serious and terrible thing to us who are in it or close to it, to disinterested observers at a great distance, if there are any, who hove been watching war follow war on this globe for generation after generation, the whole thing may seem to indicate the pettiness rather than the greatness of humanity. For the old differences are being settled in the old way. Even some of the scenes and some of the actors in this drama have familiar names: Charleroi, Waterloo, Louvain; von dcr Goltz, and Pau. Ono is struck with the futility of the whole thing. Must war succeed war with no apparent permanent result save a preparation of conditions out of which the next war may spring? The remark of Sir Edward Hamley, the English historian, concerning the results of the Crimean War, may seem in its despairing cynicism to be applicable to all wars. "Thus," said the historian, "had the great war been rounded off into an episode having no further connection with the future." Is the great war of to-day, In which hundreds of thousands of lives are being lost, and the happiness of hundreds of thousands of families destroyed - is this a mere episode in the history of man ? It is easy to think that it is. It is easy to persuade one's self that the world is growing no better, that men to-day arc the brutes of cave days, with a slightly keener Intelligence that makes them more dangerous to each other. This Is the familiar argument, heard on every street corner, In every club and tavern. The track of history is so long that over the small section of it to which our near-sighted gaze is confined it may seem that man has gained nothing. But to a being with stronger vision - to a Martian with a telescope. If you will - it may be quite plain that man is far ahead of where he was ten thousand or twenty thousand years ago. In our struggle to gain what we call civilization for want of a better word, to supplant barbarism with reason, are we not like a party of explorers pushing through a vast tropical jungle to the sea? Caught in the tangled vegetation, struggling from one thicket only to find another ahead, they may conclude that there is no ocean and stop to die, while a man watching them from a balloon above knows that their goal is just ahead. We, in our march for progress, must keep stout hearts, for we may have come further than we dream. Certainly the burning of a city would not have horrified the world a thousand years ago as the burning of Louvain shocked it the other day. And cynics who gloat over the disregard of nations for the rules of warfare to-day, should remember that it is not long since there was not even a pretension to regulate the game of killing men. As for fixing the responsibility for this war, it is easy and popular to blame one or two men or one or two nations. But that will not do. One or two nations may have planted the germs of trouble, they may have been responsible for the outbreak of the disease In a limited area; but it will not do to blame them for its rapid spread over most of tho civilized world. The fault is in the system-the system that demands that nations shall plunge into a war one after another to keep the sides even, to "maintain the balance of power," as the glib phrase goes.

Between 1897 and 1933 the presidents of the United States joined progressive reformers in redefining the concept of the United States as a melting pot. Their use of this metaphor to describe assimilation never meant that immigrants had to completely abandon their ethnic cultures. Instead, they argued that the melting pot blended the best of the immigrants traits and traditions to create a new American race united by patriotism and committed to liberal political and economic ideals. While nativists regarded new immigrants from southern and eastern Europe as incapable of assimilation, the presidents celebrated immigrant contributions to America and emphasized the need to improve immigrants' lives through education, resettlement away from urban ghettoes, and economic uplift. The president's speeches, letters, and administrative records reveal consistent support for the melting pot model as an alternative to nativist racism. While McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson supported the exclusion of racial aliens and those with mental or physical illness, they repeatedly praised the new immigrants for embracing American ideals while maintaining their ethnic cultures. They argued that everyone should be judged by their moral character rather than their ancestry. World War I raised fears of disloyal aliens that Roosevelt and Wilson heightened by denouncing hyphenated Americans. Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover continued to use melting pot rhetoric, however, rather than endorsing coercive assimilation. The melting pot legacy lives on, and still offers a middle ground between the demands for national unity and multiculturalism.
