Columbus Day indeed serves to remind us of the contributions of those later generations who have sailed from Italy for which we in America should be profoundly grateful. The enrichment of our American way of life in the fields of music. art. literature. science. and labor by the courageous and generous sons and daughters of Italy has been particularly marked. Their contributions refute the contentions of those who would bar the door against liberalization of our immigration laws. who would retain the outmoded nationality quotas and who have so little faith in our future that they would turn away .the compatriots of those who have helped to make America great. We. like Columbus and his countrymen. must meet the unknown continent of the future with steadfastness of purpose and greatness of spirit. not with the meanness and confinement of little minds.
