And. while we are truly thankful for this recognition. I should like to stress that Chicago has been in the forefront in observing Captive Nations Week as a continuation of the dynamic ethnic spirit which has built our great city. Mayor Daley himself grew up in a neighborhood to which. at the turn of the century. came Immigrants from many of those nations which today. tragically. are held captive by the Communists. Chicago is a polyglot metropolis where you will find people of more than 32 separate and distinct ethnic backgrounds all living in harmony and good will toward one another. The people of Chicago for decades have served as a thriving example that people of different national origins and religious beliefs can find a common ground of respect and understanding for one anothers cultural values.
