The correct answer is the second one. Lodge argues that Americans should stop mimicking other cultures and be proud of their own culture.

He argues that America must be "truly national and independent intellectually." He also says that we should "not look to foreigners in order to find out what they think." At the end of the essay, he writes that "the colonial spirit...is a mean and noxious thing, which cannot be too quickly or too thoroughly stamped out." 

Lodge wants Americans to be American and not a part of another culture.
