Three hundred ye,prs ago, the Pil- grim Fathers landed on the shores o Massachusetts and founded nation. .t Two years ago the armies of the civilizzed world, imbued with that same love of freed pm held by tho founders of this country, forced the powers of tyranny to thier knees to sue for peace.
 Throughout the war now ended with its unfading memories, the United States did its share nobly and unq qomplainingly, led in all Pa triotic activities by the men and wo- men of Alaska.
 We are thankful that the people of our country are returning to peaceful Pursuits without the serious disturbances accompanying the read justment of conditions in other countries and that the recent po- litical campaigns, the defeated par ties have accepted the verdict of the electorate confident that the United states, safeguarded under the Con- stitution, will furnish to the world an example of free and democcratic government.

 The witness told Senator William s. Kenyon, Chairman of the inves- tigating committee, that he was listing men better able than he oi Gov.
