The proper observance of Columbus epic voyage and discovery ought to be the right and privilege not only of ItalianAmericans. but of all Americans. For. in a very real sense. Columbus and his crew were the first immigrants in what has been called a nation of immigrants. They discovered America which became a haven of hope and peace for generations of downtrodden people from all over the globe. They opened a land where men could live in freedom from oppressiona land which grew and became richer with each new wave of immigration from abroad. And so. it is only right that we should offer our highest tribute to Columbus. the man who started it all. There are. of course. other compelling reasons for establishing these holidays on Mondays.
