Gentlemen of the Diplomatic Corps
and my Fellow Citizens:
am happy to draw apart with
you 10 this quiet place OF old eoun-
sci in order TO speak little of the
meaning of this day of our nations
independence The place seems very
still and remote. II is as serene and
untouched by the hurry OF the world
as il WAS in those great days lonr
ago. when General Washington was
here and held lelsurely conference
with the men who We're TO be asso-
ciated with him in the creation of
nation. From these gentle slopes
they looked out upon the world and
saw 1t as a whole, saw II with the
light OF the future upon It, saw it
with modern eyes that turned away
from a past which men of liberated
spirits could no longer endure II
Is for that reason that we cannot
feel. even here in the immediate
presence OF this sacred tomb. that
this is a place Of death II was a
place OF achievement A great prom
ise that was meant for all mankind
was here given plan and reality
The associations by which we are
here surrounded are the inspiring
associations OF that noble death
which is only a glorious consumma-
ton. From this given hillside WE
also ought to be able 10 see with
compromising eyes the world that
lies aboui US and should conceive
anew the purposes that must set
men free

the village and carry off a large

The enemy plan was to send for

TO take up position near the
