These threeideas. human resources. and captialadded to the rich natural resources of the American continent. produced our abundant way of life. In recent decades. some of our policies and attitudes have changed. We have erected certain barriers between our country and the rest of the world. and we have imposed strict quotas on immigrants coming to our shoresquotas which often discriminate against the people of Poland and of other eastern European and southern European countries. There is no reason for this discrimination. It does not appear equitable to have immigration quotas based on the number of persons of different origins who are living in the United States. with the result that some countries have quotas which are not used. while other peoples are severely restrained in their hopes to come to the United States. Our quota system should be revised and brought into closer harmony with the realities of our present age. I am confident that future immigrants from Poland can contribute as much to further progress of our country as did the Polish immigrants of earlier years. There is one more thought that I would like to leave with you. for I am certain that we all share the same affection and concern for the land of our forefathers. Poland.
