I have reason to know of the outstanding character and the broad capabilities of the Lithuanian people. I have worked and studied and played with them. In the open air of freedom. the children and grandchildren of Lithuanian immigrants have entered the fields of religion. of education. of politics. of the professions. and of the arts with conspicuous success. They have contributed in a notable degree toward making our American social complex stronger and more enduring. And their qualities of tolerance. of industry. and of respect for the best in tradition are needed more in this country today than ever before.
