WILLIAMSBURG, Va, May 15.-The
exercise of theg-a.i power and influ-
ence of the states was urged here to-
day by President Cooifdge who. at the
same time, plea6ed Tor national unity
and the elimination of all sectional
lines in political thought and all &C
tions based on geographical lines
Speaking on the campus of William
and Mary college at exercises com
memorating the sesqui"centennial OF
'the Virginia resolutions which de
clared for American independence, the
president characterized the states as
"the sheet anchors of our institutions,
and called upon the states to dis
charge their functions so faithfully
that. there can be contraction, in
stead of an extension, of the authority
of the federal government.
At another point, a reference to
present-day problems was seen when
the president. after recalling that the
Virginians in 1776 declared for com
plete independence" said:
"They could not escape the concur
sion that as the individual derives his
liberty from an observance of the law
so nations derive their independence
and perpetuate their sovereignty from
an observance of that comtty by
which they are all bound. AS mod
ern developments have brought the
nations closer and, closer together, this
conclusion has become more and more
unavoidable. t&
while the rights of the citizen
have been in no wise diminished, the
rights of humanity have been very
greatly increased. Our country holds
to political and economic indepen@
dence, but it holds to cooperation and
combination in the administration Of
Justice"
