We dare not stand idly by. As a member of the Congress. I fought for 17 years to eradicate the antiItalian bias that was built into our federal immigration act. The quota system has been scrapped. I am pleased to say. and we no longer have to live with the smug implication that the people of one country are better and more welcome in the United States than the people of other countries. The quota system will not be missed. It was undemocratic in concept and reprehensible in practice. The junk heap is too good a graveyard for it. Eliminating bias from our immigration law represents an important forward step. But much more remains to be done. I am told that The Order Sons of Italy in America has initiated a research study on the role of your Order in society today.
