from the provincial convention Of Vir-
ginia, which instructed the Virginia
congressional delegates to propose a
resolution of independence. This was
done on June by Richard Henry
Lee.
The delegates as a whole, however,
were not yet prepared for so decisive
a step. The vote on the resolution
was postponed, but the proponents of
the measure managed to obtain the
appointment of committee to draw
up a declaration. While the commit
tee was engaged in the work of draft
ing. the proponents whipped up sup
port for the resolution. On July l it
received the votes Of nine state dele
cations, and on later date the vota
was unanimous.
Colonies United.
The Declaration of Independence
was born on July 4, when the report
of the cOmmittee-composed of Thorn
as Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John
Adams, Roger Sherman and Robert r.
Livingston-was unanimously adopted.
1t was born one year and three
months after the fighting at Lexing-
ton and Concord ushered in armed
hostility between the Colonies and the
mother country.
Subsequent events proved how ben
eficial to the new nation this slow
birth was. The happenings of the
fifteen months had taught the Colonies
to work in unison, and had given them
a common outlook. They showed
their strength and singleness of pur-
pose in their successful prosecution
of the war, and, that ended, in the
strong government they created.
True, that government in It's early
days often had trouble maintaining its
authority, but it was never seriously
endangered until the occasion of the
Civil war. The outcome of that strug-
gle settled for all time the question
of the oneness Of the American Union.
Nations Firm Foundation.
Rarely does history show a parallel
case OF nation, springing from a
revolution, proving as stable as the
United States has been during the
1856 years of its existence. There can
be no gainsaying that this stability
has proceeded largely from the cir
cumstances of the nations birth.
There was no abrupt break with the
past, as has been the case with many
European and Latin American and
South American republics. The Amer
lean Revolution evolved naturally
from the American peoples political
maturity and strength. And the evo-
luton of American institutions. for
the good of us all, must proceed in
the future as in the past-slowly, and
upon firm ground.

THE FOURTH OF JULY

To the sages tUho spoke, to the
heroes iUho bled,
To the day and the deed, strike
the harp-strings of glory!
Let the song Of the ransomed re-
member the dead,
and the tongue of the eloquent
hallotO the story!
Der the bones of the bold
Be the story long told,
And on James golden tablets
their triumphs enrolled,
Who on freedoms green hills free
dom's banner unfurled,
And the beacon-fre raised that
gaze light to the rUorld!
They are gone-mighty men!-
and they sleep in their fame;
Shall zoe eper forget them? oh,
neUer, no, neUeri
Let our sons learn from US to en-
balm each great name,
AHd the anthem send doiCn-
Independence forever"
Wake, tUake, heart and tongue!
Keep the theme eUer young;
Let their deeds through the
long line Of ages be sung
Who on freedoms green hills free
dom's banner unturled,
And the beocon-fre raised that
gaue light to the World!

Allen and Benedict Arnold led forces
that captured the forts at Ticonderoga
and Grown Point. Montreal was cap
t1red, but Quebec withstood attack.
and the former place had to be aban-
doned. Attempts of southern tories to
break the power Of the Revolutionists
failed.
Meanwhile the king had replied to
the congress- declaration. He de-
Iounced the Americans as rebels and
forbade commercial relations with
them. An act blockadipg the Colonial
ports was passed by parliament. The
congress retaliated by opening Ameri-
can ports TO vessels of all nations, in
disregard of the British navigation
acts.
Step to Independence.
With affairs at this pitch, public
opinion still did not favor severance
from Great Britain. The first official
act that showed the turn Of the tide
came in May, 1776, when the congress
suggested that each colony form a
government based on the assumption
that the crowns authority was no
longer binding. The first move to-
ward independence came in the same
month, not from the congress, but

Of
Purpose in
Revolution

The separation of the Thirteen Unit
ain had the slowness and inevitability
Of natural growth. The fruit of in
dependence did not drop from the par
ent branch until it had been matured
by events and reached full ripeness.
When the second Continental congress
assembled-on May 10, 1775-the
skirmish at Lexington and Concord
was but three weeks old and the siege
Of Boston by unorganized bands of
New Englanders had begun.
The congress had been rebuffed by
the British king, who had refused to
receive its Declaration of Rights and
Grievances" That document had been
drawn up as an ultimatum to the
mother country. The kings reply had
been indirect, but clear. He had be-
gun military and naval preparations
to put down rebellion"
Despite this state of affairs few
members Of the congress, if any, de-
sired separation. Benjamin Franklin
later said that the first word he had
heard in favor of independence was
In March, IT'S. John Jay afterward
said that the first talk of separation
he heard was in the fall Of that year.
Olive Branch Extended.
But however far separation was
from their thoughts, the members of
the congress had cast the die, and they
staunehly adhered to its impress.
They issued a Declaration of the
Causes and Necessity of Taking up
Arms" in which they professed 10y
atty to the crown and justified the
resistance by force" of the Colonies.
The declaration expressly stated that
ave mean not to dissolve that union
which has so long and so happily sub
sisted between u.s."
The declaration was dispatched, and
pending a response, the congress took
steps to make the Colonies resist
ance by force" effective. 1t took con-
troll over the army besieging Boston,
appointed officers and called upon the
state governments to raise arms and
men. 1t appointed George Washington
commander in chief Of the armed
forces.
Revolutionary Victories.
Civil and military events moved rap
idly. Revolutionary organization took
the reins of government from British
officials even in the rOVal colonies
The battle of Bunker Hill was fought.
Later the British were forced to eyacu-
ate Boston, and New England was
thus cleared Of hostile troops. Ethan

government leaders in Paris and
worked hard to gain their acceptance
of the plan, but the best he could OBJ
tain from the cabinet was note carry
ing modified approval This, forwarded
through him to Washington, lauded
Mr.. Hooyer's initiation but insisted
that Germany must continue payment
of the unconditional" annuities as
provided under the Young plan, though
France would waive the conditional
payments for a year inasmuch as
America will waive war debt pay
ments for the same period. The I'M
conditional annuitles France is will
ing to turn back to Germany through
the Bank of International Settlements
If the money is needed.
Great Britain and Germany had al
ready given the plan their full ap-
proval, and Mussolini sent word that
Italy accepted it unequivocally. Bel
GUM, which is as jealous of her repair
atoms as France, was expected to fol-
low the French lead.
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
arrived ia Paris and Immediately be-
gan conversations at the Quai d'Orsay
in the hope of reconciling the plans Of
Mr.. Hoover and of the French cabinet.
The President early was assured
of the support of the leaders of both
parties and all factions in congress,
and during the week he canvassed the
entire membership of both houses In
order to learn just what position they
would take in the matter. The result
was not made public but it was pre-
sumed he had assurances of far more
than enough votes to put over what
ever legislation will be necessary.
There is no pretence that Mr.. Hoo
ver's plan is wholly altruistic. 1t Is
designed to help bring to an end the
existing depression by revivlng trade
and business and If it succeeds in
this, the United States would be ex-
pected to reap its fair share Of the
benefits. That the mere putting for
ward Of the proposition was at least
temporarily beneficial was shown by
the new bueyancy in the stock ex-
changes.
