The WASHINGTON Bicentennial.

President Coolidge yesterday sound
cd the first official call for the cele-
brstion here in 1882 of the 200th an
niyersary of the birth of George
Washington All the States OF the
Union and their citiZenry directly, and
all the nations of the earth by impl1-
cation, are invited to participate. II
may well take an interest. for the
ideals which were personified In
Washington have spread throughout
the world and are lettering life and
increasing happiness on every cont
nent. Wherever said the President
there are those who love ordered
liberty, they may well join IN the
observance of the event. Although
he CWashington) belongs to us, yet
by being a great American he became
a great world figure"
Mr.. Coolidge. as chairman ot the
commission created by Congress TO
arrange for the celebration, broadcast
an invitation for suggestions as 10
The form il shall take On that point
no decisions have been reached. eX-
cept for the general agreement that

which is America.

for the celebration, but the SIX years
which will intervene afford ample
time to plan carefully and we'll, so
that the ceremonies may be worthy
of the man. of the great Nation he
helped to found and of its Capital
City which bears his name. Already
Congress has enacted Legislation
which assures that in 1882 the Capital
will be much nearer the city of
Washingtons dream than it is today,
but other essential legislation is pend
ing which ought to have early atten-
ton. One such matter is the pro-
posal for a memorial boulevard to
Mount Vernon Sentiment for this
undertaking apparently is unan-
imous. and it remains only for Con-
gress to make an initial appropriation
10 begin the work. 1t probably is not
possible to get such measure
through in the few days remaining
of the present session, but it will
need to be pressed for passage imme-
diately the new Congress convenes if
the boulevard is to be completed by
1882.
1t is an encouraging thing that as
the Washington bicentennial APP
proaches there is widespread and
growing national interest in Capital
development. The day is passing
when a member of Congress can win
popularity at home by disdainfdl or
oppressive attitude toward the Ma
tional Capital. Public consciousness is
being aroused 10 the fact that this is
the city of all the people. and as this
understanding spreads there is AN in
creasing sentiment against placing
upon the citizens resident here All un-
fair share of the burdens inseparable
from development program OF which
all the people approve and in which
they take patriotic pride.
