Mr. Speaker. one of the factors that makes our country great is the blending of foreign cultures into the multicolored stream of American life. The reasons that have encouraged immigration to our free land are many: Perhaps the most tragic has been the loss of freedom and human dignity in the Old World. This was true cf Lithuania. When Lithuania was overrun by the Czars many Lithuanians. finding religious liberty and freedom more precious than home ties. fled to America. The ones who remained behind continued to fight for a free Lithuania. Their work was not to be in vain. for independence was finally achieved on February 16. 1918.
