LIBERTY ONLY CAN
 GIVE WORLD PEACE
Continued From Page one)


 viction that peace is going to come to the world only with liberty.
 Equality Only Ideal
 With all due and sincere respect for those who represent other forms of government than ours, perhaps may be permitted to say that peace cannot come so long as the destinies of men are determined by small groups who make selfish choices of their own.
 Tt is very true as more than one speaker this evening has either said or intimated. that our long standing and delightful friendship with the people of France has come from a community of ideals and identity of purpose. A republic must love anoth- CT republic just as one body of human beings must love and sympathize with another body of human beings. All the world over the life of the individ- ual means the same thing to similar It means opportunity not only, but it also means his relationship to others, and he comes to his full dignity only when he stands upon the level with others. and looking in his neighbours eye knows that he belongs with him to a common, free community of pur- pose and thought and actin. The peace of the world is not going to be assured by the cOmpacts of nations, but by the sympathies of men"
 Are We Worthy?
 "When I see the Statue of Liberty and think of the things that must come into some hopeful heart as for the first time an immigrant sees that statue and thinks that he knows what it means, I wonder if, after he lands. he finds the spirit of liberty truly rep resented by us? I wonder if We are worthy of that symbol; l wonder if we are sufficiently stirred by the his tory of it; by the history of what it "eans; I woadar if We remember the sacrifices, the actual concessions. the righteous yielding of selfish right hat is signiied by the word and the conception of liberty?
 'I wonder if We all wish to accord equal rights to all men, and so it is profitable that occasions likt this should be frequently repeated. and that we should remind ourselves Of that sort of image we have promised 10 be; for the world is enlightened. my fellow citizens. by ideals, by ideas The spirit of the world rises with the sacrifices Of men. the spirit of the world rises as men forget to be sell fish and unite to be great.
 "This. to repeat that definite phrase Of Lincoln in his Gettysburg address, is not time of selfadula- ton, but 9 time of re-dedication Let us determine that the light that shines out of our lives upon the up- lifted image of Liberty, shall be a light pure and without reproach."
 The President was the last speaker at the banquet which was attended by 1,200 men and women. One of the notable features of the evening was the reading of a message from Presi- dent Poincaire of France sent to the French ambassador Jules !. Jusser- and. in appreciation of Liberty's illu- imitation. In the message he said:
 ''In offering. 90 years ago. to the government and people of the United States the Statue which welcomes and lights those who land in America France had wished to honor Liberty and the heroes fallen in her cause. It is for that cause the French people battle and suffer today; they feel sure that they can always count on those friends of theirs in America from whom they have already receiv- ed so many tokens of sympathy and who have shown the world that they still are enamoured of the same ideal'
