Mr. Speaker. at the beginning of the twentieth century there was a considerable influx of Polish immigrants into my district. They took their places there as fine American citizens. They proceeded to help build one of the greatest shoe corporations in the world. The brawn and strength and courage and integrity of thousands of Poles who came directly to the triple cities area labored to produce EndicottJohnson shoes for the civilians of our country. Came the war. and they turned out shoes by the millions for the armed forces of this country and for our allies. So it is a special tribute that I wish to pay to these people of Polish origin in my own district and throughout America.
