Speaker. on October 9. 1966. I had the pleasure to participate in the Columbus Day celebration sponsored by the ItalianAmerican community in Metropolitan Detroit. The occasion was a fitting tribute to "the first immigrant." marked by a wellorganized. colorful parade. a wreathlaying ceremony at the statue of Christopher Columbus. and a banquet attended by hundreds of members of the ItalianAmerican community and their friends. It was at this banquet that the Honorable Giuseppe Lupis. Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. delivered an address reflecting upon the greatness of the United States and Italy. and called upon all to work for a world of peace and greater social and economic development.
