I have had the privilege to be associated with the indefatigable Judge Juvenal Marchisio. your national leader. in his organization efforts to focus attention upon and to bring assistance to the people of Italy who even at this late date have not fully recovered from the dire effects of the last great World War. Many of you here this evening were closely associated with us in the vast program of relief and assistance that was carried on by American relief for Italy in the years immediately following the war. It is no surprise to me and I am sure it is not to Judge Marchisio to see you good people of Connecticut so actively participating in this latest effort to attack another of Italys most basic problemsthe emigration of its surplus thousands through the work of this magnificent American Committee on Italian Migration. I know for me. personally. it has been one of the greatest privileges of my life to be associated in such important efforts with such wonderful people. As you probably understand from the position I hold as Director of the Foreign Relief Programs of the American Bishops. my journeyings during the past 15 years have taken me to all quarters of the globe.
