New, York, Nov. 22-At the cele-
bration of the tercentenary of the
landing of the Pilgrims at the Wal
dorf-Astoria Ha. Bert NJ. Fernald
spoke in part as follows:
1 ought. for reasons based on my
own intuitions. to have declined to
appear thus among the altogether
elect, if not the altogether elected:
but up in my part of the National
Possessions, we DO aspire to be
counted in on anything that glorifies
the Forefather, and my constituents
would never have forgiven me for de-
Ginning. You can knock out most of
the modern fetiches. but as my old
neighbor. Governor John d. Long,
whom Maine reared and whom Mas
sachusetts claims, (as she. claims
most things in sight, including the
Pilgrim settlement) used to say. you
can't reach the chip on the shoulder
of a New England son Of a., New
England Forefather or Foremother
In short, 1t is with us much as it
used to go in the old chorus: Il want
to be a Pilgrim and with the Pill
grims stand; crown upon my fore
lead. and a harp within my hand"
We commemorate tonight the 300th
anniversary year Of the landing. 1t
has been mentioned. 1 believe, or II
not. it should be mentioned, that this
affair took place exclusively up in
our part Of the, country. 1 am not
going to rub that fact in; but I do
want the point noted by the Court.
And i would like the Court also to

note the collateral fact that we are
inclined to be modest about it. We
are even willing to go SO far as to
make excuses for the rest of you.
We prefer to say that it was a for
tunate accident of civilization that
Maine and Massachusetts, happened
to be waiting around when the Pill
rrims sighted dry {but not bone-dry)
land. that December day 800 years
ago. We have; not the slightest
doubt that had the Pilgrims hap
pened to have hit upon this remote
and somewhat inland seaport of
yours, New York would probably
have passed them through quaran-
tine-after a time-and New York
might have assimilated them, and
perhaps utterly lost sight of them in
her conglomerate population; but
bless you! New York never would
have shown the utter disregard. Of
the immigration laws that we
showed. Why! the very shores of
Plymouth Bay shrieked welcome;
and from Eastport to Provincetown.
