Speaker. the roots of American strength and greatness have been the diversity of its population. It has been the transfusion of foreign cultures into the circulation of American life that makes our country what it is today. The reasons for .immigration to our shores have been varied. but the most tragic of these has been the loss of freedom in the homeland. This was the case in Lithuania. In the latter part of the 18th century. when Russia absorbed Lithuania. many oppressed Lithuanians. finding freedom and justice more precious than the ties of their native soil. fled to our free shores.
