ferent phases; the upper tier, Of
white marble bas-relief, representing
the vision behind labor, allegorical
summaries Of the ends for which
men ard women work.
II want sculptors-lots of them
to go out among the American
people" says Barnard wherever
Americans work-into the mines,
factories, mills, foundries, farms and
ranches: into the cities and villages
and lonely stations; into railroad
yards and coal fields and lumber
camps. They should live with the
people, live in the peoples every
day life-they should watch the
people working and absorb and as
simulate what they see. And they
should come back and bring with
them the images of scenes that make
up the everyday life Of this nation.
They should bring back red blood
into their bronze.
But life is more than labor. It
is labor and the vision behind labor;
the two are related as the body
and soul are related. This relation
I intend to express by the upper
tier OF white marble low relief run
ming above the bronze groups.
For instance, one Of the groups
in the lower tier would represent q
miner working underground, digging
blocks Of coal from the rock. Bat
above, rising snow white from the
heavy darkness Of everyday toll,
would be the image Of his home
and his family, the symbol Of a
brighter and larger future for his
children - the vision that gives
strength to his arm and shields his
soul against WEAKNESS.

V ar. Greatest Menace

Below the stairs leading un to
the southern end Of he platform
Barnard plans a court paved wlth
mosaic Stone. II the center % tbs
court would be fountain called
the Fountain OF life. Ire back
ground would be formed by a group
Of seven monoliths called the Mo-h-
ers of the Unknown Dead-each a
tell figure Of black marble. wth
features d'mly indicated, cad n
long draperies. The fgure n me
middle would be woman with
child. Hereby. again. Barnard wishes
to symbolic that war is the menace.
above all, to motherhood.
The war memorial think Of
would express the highest emotional
pitch to which humanity has been
tuned Barnard says. Now. a
memorial TO embody that cannot be
a mere utilitarian device, in the mar
rover sense Of THE word. They
talk Of bridges and aud forums and
whatnot. By al means let them
build their bridges and their audi
torlums-we need them. But for
heavens sake don't let them turn
America into the laughing stock Of
the world. And that IS just what
would happen if the well meaning
but yisionless people who want :
steel bridge as the war memorial
Of America have their way. Did
our young men die for a steel
bridge? Can a bridge define that
"hch America stood Tor in the war
and still stands for in the midst
Of world seething with unrest?
This war has keyed up to Is
uppermost pinnacle the sense Of
right and wrong in the average hu-
man being. That was the inner
most meaning Of the war; but | can
put it in different, more concrete
words, by saying hat this war was
fought for motherhood-for the
sacred right of woman to bear her
child IN safety for a safe life in q
sane and clean world. 1t is FOR
this idea that America stepped into
the struggle; it is this idea that I
would try to express in my monu-
ment~"

the peasants, most of them, have
gone with their COWS to the far up

drenched by the mountain nlists, re-

arm Of the Hudson River. Barnard
suggests the water be again let in
on the grounds at the foot of the
bluf-so much the more as this low
lying region, drained in con1para-
lively recent times, is not very
healthful for human habitation. He
would also cut of the slopes Of the
hill, so as TO make them drop almost
vertically, and pump water to the
top. so as to les il fall in cascades.
Around the hill he would construct

marble plaza or platform, a parallel

would occupy the entire northern end
OF the plateau on Fort Washington
