The Iron Puddler

CHAPTER VI
8/10

He who is tenderest toward the members of his household is bravest in beating back him who would destroy that house.
For example, I received a hurry-up call for more housing at Ellis Island in the early days of my administration.

The commissioner told me he had five hundred more anarchists than he had roofs to shelter.
"Have these anarchists been duly convicted ?" I asked.
He said they had been, and were awaiting deportation.
I told the commissioner not to worry about finding lodging for his guests; they would be on their way before bedtime.
"But there is no ship sailing so soon," he said.

"They will have to have housing till a ship sails." Now this country has a shortage of houses and a surplus of ships.

There aren't enough roofs to house the honest people, and there are hundreds of ships lying idle.

Let the honest people have the houses, and the anarchists have the ships.
