The mere fact that. like Gibralter. he has remained unmoved. unshaken by the waves of persecution and hatred. prove his fitness. It is In this wise that I like to think of our immigrants. I want to take into consideration their whole racial background. the history of their successes and failures. their struggles and achievements. And when we look at peoples that way. not a racial group on earth but whom the Eternal Father has endowed with intellectual. moral. and spiritual gifts. The least of Gods creatures is fulfilling a definite purpose in life and surely every racial stock is under the guidance of a divine Providence.

I came to think of the immigrant in this wise because of my refusal to pass judgment on him through the eyes of exaggerated newspaper reports. I sought personal contact. I should therefore like to speak of my own personal experience with immigrants and descendants of immigrants. It is my honor in this Congress to represent. a part of the Nations greatest citya city whose people. a great family. are partners in their public enterprises and whose municipal affairs and philanthropic and educational institutions have become an example to the cities in the country. It is a city with a civic consciencethe finest American example of municipal. government.
