Mr. Speaker. from my own observations. the extreme difficulties under which these foreign language newspapers have continued to operate. Yet. we today as a nation. are that much richer in culture and social standards because the foreign language press was able to provide that guidance and inspiration to millions of Americas loyal immigrants which the English language press could not accomplish simply because they could not communicate with these people in their own native tongue. In paying tribute to the 100th anniversary of the Polish language press in America. we are at once paying tribute to the imposing contributions made by Americans of Polish descent to this country. The two are inseparable. It would be my hope that those sophisticates in America who have never been able to quite appreciate the inspiring contributions made by immigrant groups in this country. would on this 100th anniversary recognize how shortsighted are their views. how unfair are their conclusions. It would be my hope that on this 100th anniversary of the Polish CIX- 1596 language press in America. we Americans could adopt a new attitude toward the entire foreign language press of this country and recognize that it continues to play an integral role in our development. More so.
