American Uncle Sam is bowing and offering a laurel garland to a young Slovene man on the American stage. Who was the winner here? The young man who gained work and thus improved his life, or the American employer who was in need of his diligent hands and bright head for work in factories and mines? Nevertheless: Girl, dressed in a national costume, holding an American flag in her left and »Carniolian« in her right hand, concludes the book with an appeal to American-Slovene friendship.
