Of July address at Mount Vernon.
President Wilson said.
Washington, July 5.-President VIII
.son In his Fourth of July address at
Mount Vernon said:
Gentlemen of the diplomatic corps
and my fellow citizens: / am happy
to draw apart with you to this quiet
DIace of old counsel in order to speak
q little of the meaning of this day OF
our nations independence. The place
! seems very still and remote. 1t Is as
serene and untouched by the hurry OF
The world as it was in those great days
dong ago when General Washington
was here and held leisurely conference
with the men who were to be asso-
Jciated with him in the creation OF
,nati0n. From these gentle slopes they
looked out upon the world and saw
lit whole, saw it with the light OF the
future upon IT, saw 1t with modern
eyes that turned away from past
which men of liberated spirits could
mo longer endure. 1t is for that rea-
son that we cannot feel even here,
I'm the Immediate presence OF this
saaczed tomb, that this is place OF
death. 1t was a place Of achievement.
A great promise that was meant for
an mankind was here given plan and
reality. The associations by which
we are here surrounded are the In
! -spiriting associations of that noble
death which is only a glorious con-
summation. From this green hillside
We also ought to be able TO see with
.comprehending eyes the world that
Hes about us and should conceive
anew the purposes that must set men
free. -,
II is signifcant-significan of their
i own character and purpose and OF the
Influences they we're setting afoot-
thnt Washington and his associates,
like the barons at Runnymede, spoke
and acted, not for a class, but for
9people. 1t has been left for US to see
TO it that It shall be understood that
they spoke and acted not for single
people only, but for all mankind. They
were thinking, not of themselves ana
or the material interests which CEN
tered in the little group OF landowners
and merchants. and men of affairs with
whom they we're accustomed to act,
In Virginia and the colonies to the
north and south of her, but Of a people
which wished to be done with classes
and special interests and the authority
OF men whom they had not themselves
, chosen to rule over them.
8 Lofty Inspiration Found.
x -rhey entertained no private pur'
nose, desired no peculiar privilege.
~They were consciously planning that
1men OF every class should be free, and
America place to which men out OF
..svery nation might resort who wished
TO share with them the rights and
privileges Of free men. And we take
our cue from them-do we not? We
intend what they intended. We here
in America believe our participation
in this present war to be only the
sruitage of what they planted. Oul
.ease, differs from theirs only In this
chat it is our inestimable privilege to
i concert with men out of every nation
what shall make not only the liber'
ties of America secure but the hber
. ties of every other people as we'll. We
are happy in the thought that we are
permitted to do what they would have
done had they been in our place.
N There must now be settled once for
m what was settled for America in
the great age upon whose inspiration
40 draw today This Is surely Mt
ting place from which calmly to look
out upon our task, that we may fortify
cur spirits for its accomplishment
And this is the appropriate place from
which to, avow. alike to the friends
who look on and to the friends with
vhom we have the happiness to be
associated in action, the faith and pur
rose with which we act. ,>..sr~
