Only yesterday there was celebrated in America what is known as I Am an American Day. This was at the request of the Congress. which has asked that the third Sunday in May of each year be so observed. and it was in accordance with the proclamation of the President of the United States. So yesterday throughout the country we were paying honor to our new citizens. those who had become citizens during the -past year by naturalization or by reaching the age of 21. thus enabling them to vote. At the same time. we were bringing before these new citizens a picture of America at home. a picture of America doing business with the world. and a picture of Americas responsibility in the world of tomorrow. So I believe it likewise is fitting that all over the Nation we recognize tomorrow as Merchant Marine Day.
