There are also Polish language newspapers in New York. in Milwaukee. in Cleveland. in Detroit. and many other communities in the United States. Mr. Speaker. these Polish language newspapers have provided the bridge toward becoming loyal Americans to millions of immigrants who have come to this country from Poland during the past 100 years. The Polish language press has been the catalyst for bringing. together in America. all of those highly desirable attributes of struggle for freedom and respect for human dignity which have been so much a part of the Polish spirit for centuries. We cannot pay too high a tribute to the great contribution made by these Polish language newspapers toward orienting the new immigrant with Americas democratic processes. Even though there are more than 15 million Americans of Polish descent scattered throughout the United States. it is a known fact that these Americans of Polish descent have produced no defectors to an alien cause. they have produced among the most gallant soldiers for our armies. the crime rate is impressively low in the Polish communities of America. and those activities which emphasize religious scruples and strong family ties are exceptionally high in Polish communities. It is a known fact that employers throughout this country shower high praise on these people for their reliability and industriousness.
