Speaker and Members of the House. yesterday. under authority of Public Resolution No. 101. approved June 27. 1930. the honorable Speaker appointed the House Members of the Massachusetts Bay Colony Tercentenary Commission. Naturally the Commonwealth of Massachusetts highly appreciates this congressional recognition of the national significance and importance of its historic tercentenary. and will welcome this commission to its confines with open arms. Arriving in Massachusetts. your commission will find a cosmopolitan Commonwealth made up of a splendid blend of the original Pilgrims and Puritans and the descendants of generations of later immigrant stock. who have all contributed to the growth and glory of New England and the Nation. In this connection I ask unanimous consent to insert in the Rcoan a brief historical article on the contribution of the Irish people to the development of colonial and modern New England written by Dr. James T.
