BRUCE APPEALS FOR HISTORICAL

Points to Dramatic Exploits

American history Is crowded with
dramatic exploits that await the labor
of the scholar to make them a part
of the immortal records of the human
race, Senator Bruce of Maryland de-
clares in an appeal for public support
of the movement by the American n
Historical Association to raise ST.
600. 900 for historical research.
The conquest of the Northwest has
the thrills to inspire the genius of a
Scott. and the winning of the West
is one of the great epics of all time.

by Charles f. Hughes.
Must Explore Past.
The Nations past must be explored
by trained historians, according to
Senator Bruce, who says that "a mere
chronicle is no more history than
n mere photograph is a portrait" I"
History he characterizes as both a
pageant and philosophy.
I'm no history are the elements of
pageantry and philosophy more
strikingly combined than in our own. q"
Senator Bruce adds.
ut would be hard to imagine any
thing more impressive or dramatic
than the grand procession of events
which begins with the light on
Waiting Island that the straining
vision of Columbus described through
the night and which ends with the
Army of 1900, 900 men that the United
States organized 435 years afterwards

caused by international economic con-

production, caused by a diminution
in exports and the rate of internal
consumption.
The best road out of this problem
for Italian manufacturers, Signor
Balluzzo continued. is that taken by
other young nations, particularly the
United States. This consists of "the
integral utilization of raw materials,
perfection of technical equipment, in

development of efficient production

American methods. the minister

in reducing the cost of production,
especially in agriculture.
Referring TO conditions in the

pointed out that American workers

From end to end that history is
crowded with dramatic episodes and

ploits of the early Spanish explorers
Ponce de Leon, Pineda. NarvaeZ,
Cabeza de Vaca. Fray Marcos, Coro-
nado and De Soto--and the early
French xplorers-Joliet, Pere Mar

Then we have the soul-stirring
story of the bitter hardships encoun-
tered by the Roanoke, jamestown and
Plymouth colonists. Then follows the
long and doubtful struggle between
the French and their dread ally. the
red Indian, on the one hand and the
