Rebuff for Those ChrOniclerS Who
Lower Their Vision of the Real Man

From Washington's spirit
there has grown an infusion of
social ideals with the quality of
magnanimity; upholding pros
perity with generosity, dignity
with forbearance, security with
out privilege, which has raised
our Institutions to a level of hui
manity and nobility nowhere
else attained.
From the room where I con-
duct my high office I hourly
see the monument which Wash
ington's proud and grateful
countrymen have raised to his
memory. Beyond any other
monument built by the hand of
man out of clay and stone, this
shaft is a thing of the spirit.
Whether seen in darkness or in
light, in brightness or in gloom,
there is about it a mantle Of
pure radiance which gives it the
aspect of eternal truth. It is a
pledge in the sight of all man
kind, given by Washington's
countrymen, to carry forward
the continuing fulfillment Of
his vision of America.
The Washington times., 1932-02-22

and versed in the ways of the
world.
Yet in every crisis, and for
every role, they turned to Wash
ington. They forced upon him
the command of Indian fight
efs: they made him a general
against trained British troops;
they demanded that he be a
constitutionalist and a national
statesman; they insisted he
must guide his country through
the skillful ambuSheS of British
kings; they summoned him to
establish the nonexistent credit
Of an insolvent infant nation.
Why did his brilliant fellow pa
triotS always thus turn to him?
The answer OF history is un.
mistakable: They brought their
problems to Washington because
he had more character! a finer
character, a purer character,
than any other man of his time.

The time that Webster
looked forward to is here. We
"other disciples Of Washing
ton" whom he foresaw are
gathered today. His prophecy
is borne out, his hope fulfilled.

top Of the Capitol" It has

teInal division. It's only change
is the symbol Of growth. The
IL stars that Washington saw,
and the "a that Webster
looked upon. now are 40. The
number of those who pay 10y
atty to that flag has multiplied
tenfold.
The respect for it beyond our
borders, already great when
Webster spoke 100 years ago,
has increased.
The Washington times., 1932-02-22

We need no attempt at canon
ization of George Washington.
We know he was human, sub
ject to the Encouragement and
perplexities that come to us all.
We know that he had moments
of deepest anxiety. We know of
his sufferings. and the sacrifices
and anguish that came to him.
We know of his resentment Of
injustice and misrepresenta ton.
And yet We know that he never
lost faith in our people.
Nor have I much patience
with those who undertake the
irrational huynanizing of Wash
ington. He had, indeed, the fine
qualities of friendlinesS, Of
sociableneSs, of humanneSs, Cf
simple hospitality; but we have
no need to lower our vision from
his unique qualities Of great
ness, or to seek to depreciate the
unparalleled accomplishments of
the man who dominated and
gave birth to the being of a
great nation.
We have need to revive the
meaning and the sheer moral
courage Of the Declaration of
Independence, the struggles of
the Continental Congress, the
forming of the Constitution.
We have need at all times to
review the early crises of the
Republic, the consolidation of
the Union, the establishment
of national solidarity, the build
ing of an administration of
government. and the develop
ment of guarantees of freedom.
This destiny of national great
ness was clearly foreseen by
George Washington. More fully
than any man of his time was
he gifted with vision of the
future. He spoke habitually of
the American Empire" and
predicted its expansion from
ocean to ocean.
The Washington times., 1932-02-22

fluence of his character and
of his accomplishments has
contributed to the building of
human freedom and ordered
liberty, not alone upon this con-
tinent but upon all continents.
The part which he played in
the creation Of our institutions
has brought daily harvest of
happiness to hundreds OF mil
lions Of humanity. The in
Spirations from his genius have
lifted the vision of succeeding
generations.
II we are to get refreShment
to ol1r ideals from looking back
ward to Washington, we should
strive to identify the qualities
in him that made our revolu-
ton a success and our nation
great. Those were the qualities
that marked Washington out
for immortality.
We find they were not spec
tacuiar qualities. He never
charged with q victorious army
up the capital streets of a con.
quered enemy. Excepting only
Yorktown and Trenton, he won
no striking victories. His great
military strength was in the
strategy of attrition, the pa
tient endurance of adversity,
Stesdfast purpose unbent by
defeat. The American shrine
most associated with Washing
ton is Valley Forge. and Valley
Forge was not a place Of vic
tory-except the victory Of
Washington's fortitude trfum-
phant above the weakness and
discouragerr1ent of lesser men.
Washington had courage with
out excitement, determination
without passion.

The tert of President Hooper,s
address to Congress today tot-
IotUS, in part
Just 100 years ago in this
city Daniel Webster. in COM
memoration of the birth OF
George Washington, said:
"a hundred years hence,
other disciples of Washington
will celebrate his birth, with no
less of sincere admiration than
we now commemorate it. When
they shall meet, as we now
meet, to do themselves and him
that honor, so surely as they
shall see the blue SUBMITS Of
his native mountains rise in
the horizon, so surely rs they
shall behold the river ON whose
banks he lived, and on whOSe
banks he rests, still flowing on
toward the sea, SO surely may
they see, as we now see, the
flag Of the Union floating on
top Of the Capitol; and then,

ViUid Imprint of History Recreates
Washington In All Vaccinations

Today the American people
begin a period of tribute and
gratitude to this man whom
we revere above all other
Americans.
In all this multitude of
ShrineS and forums they viii
recount the life history and &C
complishments of Washington.
The ceremonial con1merno-
rating the founder of our coun-
try is one Of the most solemn
that either an individual or q
nation ever performs: carried
out in high spirit it can be
made one of the most fruitful
and enriching. We look back
that we may recall those quail
ties of Was1ington's character
which made him great, those
principles of national conduct
which he had laid down, and
by which we have come thus
far. We meet to re-establiSh
our contact with them. renew
our fidelity to them.
So rich and vivid is the rec
ord of history, that Washing
ton in our day lives again in
the epic of the foundation Of
the Republic. He appears in
the imagination Of every sue
ceeding generation as the en-
bodinent Of the wisdom, the
courage, the patience, the en-
durance, the craftsmanship, and
the absence of all mean ambi-
ton, which transformed scat
tered communities Of the for
rest and the frontiers into a
unity Of free and independent
people.
The true eulogy of Washing
ton is this nightly nation. He
contributed more to it's origins
than any other man. The in

Origin of Japanese

Modern authorities believe that
the japanese do not differ physi-
cally from the Koreans and the Chi
nese to any great degree. The late
Doctor Baelz of the Imperial uni
yersity of Tokyo, who made an ex-
haustive anthropologicaI study of
the Japanese, divided them into
three distinct types-Manchu-Kore-
an, Mongol and Malay. The first
are believed to be descendants of
Korean colonists, who, in prehis-
toric times, settled on the west coast
of Japan. There is no satisfactory
theory as to the route by which
the Mongols reached Japan, but
there is very little doubt that they
did find their way thither at one
time. The third type is found in
nearly all the islands along the east
coast Of Asia as well as in south
ern China and in the extreme south
west of Korea. They probably land
ed in Kyushu, the most southerly
