added that the policy of the American republics must not err on the side of too great aloofness and that in the present world chaos Pan-Americanism must mean Sympathetic and generous Amerii canism."

 The history of the generations since that doctrine was proclaimed he con- tinued, has proved that we never in- tended it sefishly: that we had no dream on exploitation.

 There is significance in dates, as though some days were destined for high place in the history of human prog fections. This day is the anniversary or the battle of Lexington, when the colo nes of North America made their first sacrifice in blood for independence and new standards of freedom On this same days, a generation later, Venezuela s struggle for freedom had it's immortal beginning.

 The doctrine proclaimed under Mon roe, which ever since has been jealousy guarded a fundamental of our own republic, maintained that these conti- nents should not again be regarded as fields for. the colonial enterprises of old world power. There have been times when the meaning of Monroeism was misunderstood by some, perverted by others, and made the subject of dis torting propaganda by those who saw in it an obstacle to the realization of their own ambitions.
 The history of the generations since that doctrine was proclaimed has proved that we never intended it selfishly; that we had no dream of exploitation On the other side, the history of the last decade certainly must have con vinced all the world that we stand will ing to fight if necessary to protect these continents, these sturdy young democra- ces from oppression and tyranny

 MUST REMEMBER MANKIND
 But we must also have a thought of all mankind The world is torn and harassed, and -Americanism means sympathetic and generous Americanism. The world needs the utmost of produc- tion of restoration, of rehabilitation, of steadying influence, all that we can contribute to it. Our greatest service lies in standing firmly together. making ourselves strong that we may give our strength, rich that we may contribute our riches, and confident that we may inspire others with confidence.
 The world needs in order that it's economic balance may be redressed peace, enterprise, industry, frugality and commercial development
 we need to know each other better; to understand institutions and peoples and methods more accurately; to develop the great producing and commercial pos abilities of our own countries; to en- courage the larger exchanges of our products, the most sympathetic appre- ciation of our varied relations to one an- other and to the rest of the world. By accomplishing these things we shall strengthen ourselves to carry forward our tasks of today, and of all -he tomorrows.'

when Washington and Boliver uttered American aspirations and battled for them, and are now so nterlocked with the old world from which our fathers came that independence does not make for aloofness. but the developments of civli- zation have brought us more closely to- gether. Liberty without security would be barren boast, an inspiration with out stabilization, would change every claim of democracy. Nothing the Ameri- eas can do; nothing Pan-America may aspire to do, will surpass the contribu- tion of our youth and resources, and our steadfast allegiance to our newer insti- tutions to help steady the world and prove the right of present-day civilza- tion to go on.
 We have had our contests, interna- tional and civil, but on the whole the tendency under our republican institu- tions has been toward establishment Of those means of conciliaton, arbitration and judicial determination by which the menace of war is lessened. No Ameri- can state succumbed to the temptation of that militaristic ssytem which laid ever where, and which at last brought them to crisis in the great war. There is too little realization of the progress that has been made toward judicial and arbi- tral settlement of international differ ences by the American nations

 FREEDOM WHEELING
 Tt is an interesting thing to compare the careers of the two great fathers of American liberty, Bolivar and Washing ton. Each wrought an empire of free dom and builded more vastly than he dreamed Their concept of liberty was not inspired in individual unrest. Each was wealthy each rates among the per- sonally fortunate, but a peoples freedom was mpelling.
 Tt is not too much to say that out of the Alterations wrought by Washington tutional system which is Americas gift to mankind
 Tt is fine to be able to say that new world temples of liberty were not wrought in destruction of the old We speak historically of revolution, when in reality we mean severance and freedom for evolution. The world isn't calling today for destruction; it needs reconstruc- tion where the test of justice is applied to the things which were as well as the things which are to be.

New York. April 19.-Renewed bonds of friendship among the American republics, with a reconstruction of peace and lib- erty as an example for a war-weary world, were plghted by President liar ding today at the unveiilns here of q statue to simon Bolivar. She South American patriot.
 In the example of a prosperous family of states living together in peace on the western hemisphere, the President de- clared, the old world might well find in- spiration for the reconstruction of it's in dustry and it's politics along the lines of progress and amity. To that reconstruc- tion, he said, the American republics could also contribute in material sense by giving their strength and resources to aid their stricken sister nations across the sea.
 Restating the Monroe Doctrine, MT Harding asserted that it never meant policy of selfishness, or narrowness, but was charter of American independence to maintain which the United States was willing to fight if necessary. He
