Since the days of Kosciusko. many millions of his compatriots and of other central European peoples have come to America in the quest for freedom. They have brought with them to this country the same hatred of tyranny and the same love of freedom that animated Kosciusko. But. in our attitude toward our immigrant Americans. we sometimes forget the services of Kosciusko and the debt we owe to him. I know for example. that some of my very good friends had misgivings about the appointment of Mich Cieplinski to so important a post because he was not a native born American. I believe that if they had known as much as I do about the background of Mich Cieplinsk and about his many positive contributions to the cause of freedom. their fears would have been allayed.
