In the practical arts Finland. with the rest of Scandinavia. has established a worldwide reputation for modern crafts in glass. wood. and stone. The United States is happy to acknowledge the heights of Finlands achievements and add congratulations on this day of celebration. We feel close ties with this courageous nation. In the period extending from 1893 to 1914 more than 200.000 Finns settled here in this country. enriching our own culture. Unfortunately. today. under our discriminatory. immigration policy. the Finnish quota is only 569 annually. We should take immediate action to correct this unenlightened policy. When Finland became independent in 1918. encouraged by Woodrow Wilsons 14 points. their constitution was modeled partly on the United States Constitution.
