Speaker. the people of this country have come from many lands. We are* not a race but a nation of mixed blood. Those who have emigrated to these shores for the past 300 years have been inspired by love of freedom to worship. to think. to talk according to their own consciences. by ambition to improve their lot in this land of opportunity and to reap the reward of their own work. thrift. and ability. Only the brave and the venturesome have had the courage to break the ties that bound them to the land of their fathers and to take the high adventure of life in this new country of ours. This hour has been set aside for tributes to the Polish people. who have contributed so much to the wealth. the culture. and. the strength of America I cannot allow the occasion to pass without expressing my admiration for the millions of Poles in this country. my esteem for my colleagues in this House. and my many friends in my own home city of Polish descent.
