sentative Luce Tells May
flower Descendants.

Maynower Pilgrims gave America
soviet nearly 800 years before COM
munism was dreamed OF in Russia,
Representative Luce of Massachusetts
told members of the District Society
Of Mayflower Descendants at a dinner
last night at the Willard commemorate
ing the three hundredth university
OF the landing of the Pilgrims at
Plymouth.
9 But. the. Pilgrims found that in
dividual initiative scounted most in
empire building and abandoned COM
munism when they were convinced of
its impracticabilitv. he said.
Representative Luce declared COM
munism was born when the Pilgrims,
still aboard the Mayfiower. drew up
compact for the government of the
colony they were about to establish.
A body polite for their better order
ing and preservation was created and
the signers. Of the agreement promis-
ed all due submission and obedience.
:. The sneaker attributed the popular
ity of Vice President-elect Coolidge
to the fact that he is real descend
ant OF the Pilgrims.
He reflects those old. homely
truths that were the foundation of life
in the days of our fathers and still
appeal most, to the American people"
he said.
President-elect Harding had beep
invited to attend the dinner. as had
Senator James W. Wadsworth, jr., of
New York. but both sent messages
of regret. which were read by Ernest
w Bradford. governor Of the society,
who presided.
The safest way to find a satisfactory
solution to the problems facing America
today, Mr.. Bradford declared, would be
to emulate the Pilgrims in their devo-
ton to God, respect for law and order
and their industrious and frugal habits
