betterment of every human inter-
est involved.
Hands ON fen alone did not
build what was founded here; II
was but the visible sign, the human
symbol, of purpose, which we
may not understand, but for whose
beneficience all mon must give
tribute of praise and voice undying
gratitude.
THE English-speaking race had
hardly established itself in true
character as the foremost exponent
of liberal institutions when it be-
gan to distribute itself among the
wildernesses of the earth. 1t has
carried it's ideals wherever 1t has
set its standard. 1t has won recog-
milton of these ideals as the basis of
social conduct, of community rela-
tons, throughout the world. It's
work Is not finished, but pray God,
it has come triumphantly through
it's determining ordeal. 1t comes
forth from that test, nerved and
heartened for further tasks, conf
dent, assured, reliant. None ques-
tons, either, it's place or its right
of leadership; few doubt its des-
tiny to establish, under that divine
guidance which 1t has ever re-
cognized, the splendid structure Of
human brotherhood In peace and
understanding.
Just as the pilgrims had
practical mind for material things
amid effective pursuit of their
higher ideals, 80 must we with our
Inheritance.
Capitalization of Power.
"Just as these fathers drew to-
gether toward ample authority to
make the nation and still pre-
serve the freedom of those who
compose it. so must we guard
against the supreme Capitalization
of power at home, and the super
state for the world. More, we
must combat the menace in the
growing assumption that the state
must support the people, for just
government is merely the guaran-
tee to the people of the right and
opportunity Of that people to sup
port themselves. The one out
standing danger of today is the
tendency to turn to Washington for
the things which are the tasks of
the weight commonwealths
which constitute the nation. Hav-
ing wrought the nation as the CEN
trail power of preservation and de-
Tense, let us preserve 1t so.
A Gift to Posterity.
Here was the early dedication
to religious liberty and political
freedom. 1t was a sublime gift to
posterity. We cannot betted ex-
press our reverence today than by
sweeping aside the errors, the fail
ures, the disappointments, the be-
trayals of our day and plant here
for all America and all the world
the standards of highest Justice
and real human brotherhood. This
would add to the volume of re-
joicing on earth and give echo to
the heavens of the nobler aspira-
ton Of united mankind. 1t would
dim no torch of liberty which was
lighted here, but would set the
world aglow with new hopes, new
confidence and new exaltation."
The presidents address. deliv-
cred within a few hundred feet of
the spot where Plymouth Rock
has been closed in iron palings to
preserve 1t for posterity, was part
of an anniversary celebration in
which Vice President Coolidge and
many other high officials of state
and nation participated.
Earlier in the day he had head

which entered this harbor under
such widely different circum-
stances three hundred years ago.
Battleships Escort Yacht.
Three battleships and six de-
stroyers formed an escort for the
Mayflower of today. She was well
coined by booming Of the presi-
dental salute from shore bat
terry, while a British cruiser, the
Cambrian, dipped her flag at her
anchorage Just outside Plymouth
harbor.
Ashore, troop of cavalry form

a unit of British marines from the
Cambrian marched in the parade

Harding and his party.
The presidents hope that Ply
mouth Rock might become

echoed In brief addresses by Will

Dutch legation at washington. and

closed, the crowd called loudly for
Vice President Coolidge. Senator
Lodge, Major General Clarence r.
Edwards and Secretary Weeks.
President Harding first brought to
the front personally the senior sea-
ator from Massachusetts,. Senator
Lodge in brief remarks commented
on the early Americanism of the
Pilgrims, pointing out that once
they had set foot in the new coun-
try. they had cut loose from viz
tually all ties in the old world and
had begun to love America, not
