They have willingly and intelligently cooperated in the United Nations and in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Perhaps nowhere in the world. outside of their own country. have Norsemen given so much toward the things that make for a better life than here in the United States. Since that first group of Norwegian immigrants arrived in New York on October 9. 1825. the Norse contribution to American life and to the upbuilding of American ideals ha. been significant. There are today nearly 1.000.000 persons of Norwegian origin in the United States. I am proud of the fact that nearly onefourth of that total number reside in my own State. and that Minnesota can lay claim to having the largest number of citizens of Norwegian extraction of any State.
