britOns Prefer American Cars
 for Open Road

LONDON March l5-American au- tomohile manufacturers have deriv- ed new hope of boosting their sales in the British market from favor |able comments at the recent auto- mobile show.
 l. The lengthy articles in London newspapers. although reserving com- |ment on transatlantic" makes for the inside pages, paid special attention to the high speeds att
 tained on relatively small horse- power. Although American cars
 have to pay g B per cent duty, they are still the cheapest means of doing 70 or 80 on English roads. American cars, because of their higher horsepower. will climb most hills in high. English machines, |geared very high to make the most of their less powerful motors. re- |quire shifting into second or low on almost any prolonged climb.
 Chiefly because of their cost.
 however, American makes still have
 a long way to go before they make Ia substantial dent in the British
 market.

fered for us. That, when other men
wearied of the conflict, when other men
renounced liberty, when other men
were afraid and betrayed great cause,
his heart was steadfast and he carried
on, to give us liberty and peace.
And it matters to us that when he
might have been a king, a dictator,
a despot, when he might have seized a
few years of power and wrecked this
country forever, he chose the saner
course of Democracy, of the right of
free people to govern themselves.
His majesty lay in his ability to sub
ordinate himself to the will of his
people; his glory is that having twice
served his land as its President, he
retired, a simple citizen.
And so we 60 to Mount Vernon to
breathe the atmosphere of loyalty, of
humility, of simplicity.
Mount Vernon is being restored to
its exact original form. And we shall
make our pilgrimages there to stand in
silence before the beautiful yet simple
mansion of the Father Of our Country.
Trite is the phrase - Father of our
Country. Trite is the phrase - First in
war, first in peace, first in the hearts of
his countrymen. A myth is the tale of
the cherry tree.
But true as pure gold is the work
that he did. A free people upon rich
continent live and work in the glories
of liberty. One need but read the first
ten amendments to the Constitution to
realize the greatness of Washington.
He might have become Napoleon
and we should have been in the chaos
of Mexico or Central American Re-
public. He might have made himself
Stain, Hitler, Mussolini, and we
should still be struggling for human
liberty. He might have set up reign
ing house and bequeathed to US herit-
age of dynastic wars.
When his was the will to choose, he
bowed lowly before his fellow-country-
men and asked their will. With them
he chose government by free people
through their representatives.
And that is American tradition. In
Mount Vernon are the roots that sus-
tain American values.
Such traditions will not die so long
as Mount Vernon stands not a
mausoleum for the dead, but house
of the living.

- cans visit Mount Vernon, the
estate of George Washington.
They travel from all parts of the
country. They come by train and by
bus. They walk through the grounds
that our First President laid out pa
tiently and lovingly. They see the
chair on which he sat; the bed in
which he slept; the desk at which he
worked. Why do they Gomez
Why do thousands of Mahometans
each year make pilgrimage to Mecca?
Why do thousands of Chinese each
year travel over roadless China to the
mausoleum of Sun Yat-sen on Purple
Mountain outside of Marking? Why
is it Russians life ambition to visit
the tomb Of Lenin in Moscow? Why
does the orthodox Jew crave to stand
upon the soil of Palestine for moment
in his life?
1t is because the human race is
rooted deep in tradition each
people in its own tradition. And out of
that tradition, a people finds the sus-
tanning food for upright living. 1t is in
tradition that man finds his own domi-
nant values.
We in the United States speak today
dialect that sounds gruff and coarse.
We speak of a life without values, with
out traditions, without guidance from
the past. We speak loudly - as the
shy person does to hide sentimentality.
But we do not act as we speak. The
pilgrims to Mount Vernon, the pill
grims to the Washington Monument in
the city of Washington - those who
stop off at Springfield to see Lincoln's
house and where he is buried - their
roots are deep in American tradition.
George Washington has been de-
bunked. Great scholars have torn apart
the myth of the cherry tree. They have
told us that his handsome face was
pock-marked. They have shown that
he loved his cup of wine.
Who cares for these trihes?
What matters to US is that George
Washington fought to make us a nation
of free men. What matters to us is
that he, the richest and most promi-
nent man in this country of his day,
might have purchased his comfort and
sold our liberty. Instead, he fought for
us and made us free.
What matters to us is that he suf-
