FUTURE GENERATIONS
President Says Constitution
Still Sufficient to Solve
National Problems

w HDllllNO lOlN, jail. lO.-
President Franklin d. Roose.
welt today dedicated himself
anew, at the start of his Sec
ond Administration, to reno
val of the cancers of injus-
tice" that cause want in the
midst of plenty.
This dedication was made
in his inaugural address de-
livered beneath a storm dark
ened sky before thousands
who gathered in the Capitol
Plaza.
The President pictured UNI
counted poor families living
under the pail of disaster"
and said:
1--WE are determined to
make every American citizen
a subject of his country's in
Iterest and concern"
Family Disaster
The President further said:
81 see millions of families try
ing to live on incomes so
meager that the pail of family
disaster hangs over them day
by day. / see millions denied
education, recreation and OPP
portunity to better their lot
and the lot of their children.
| see millions lacking the
means to buy products of
farm and factory and by their
poverty are denying work of
prcductiveness to many other
millions. | see one-third of a
nation ill-housed, ill-clad, and
i'll nourished."
Recovery Obvious
Progress In recovery IS OBJ
vious, the President said, but
"a new order of things"
brought about since 1888,
means more energy must be
exerted to fulfilling his ear
lier prophecy.
Better Foundation
In broad terms, but leaving
the specific program to the
future, the President spoke of
using new materials of social
justice ito erect on the old
foundations a more enduring
structure for use of future
generations"
With Justices of the SUI
preme Court of the United
States among his hearers, the
President spoke once more
about the Constitution but
said nothing about courts.
Constitution
This year, the President re-
called, marks the one hun
dred and fiftieth anniversary
of that fundamental charter
of our forefathers that found
its way out of chaos after the
Revolutionary War.
They created a strong
Government with powers of
united action, sufficient then
and now to solve the problems
utterly beyond individual or
local solution. To promote a
general welfare and secure
the blessings of liberty for
the American people today,
we again invoke these same
powers to achieve the same
detectives"

IT'S said that Fred Astaire
L has been much upset over
the fact that his radio programs
haven't come up to eXpecta-
tiops. In fact, it's reported that
he wanted to drop the whole
thing-but just try to get out
of a contract to broadcast, once

right scripts to work with
there's. no reason why he
shouldn't be tremendously sue

You may recall that Maurice
Chevalier felt that same way about
his broadcasts-but they were pop
ularly considered flops right to the
last, if the opinion Of the great
American public that stayed home
and listened to them counts for any
thing. Al 5olson was pretty unhappy
about his first programs, but he
gritted his teeth and went right on.

his prisoners was a young British
officer named John Andre but he
had sent Andre south as a prison

Andre did not see each other
then. That fatal meeting was to
take place five years later on
the banks of the Hudson and as
result the name of Benedict Ar

history Oh a WnOle HdtlOll.
Montgomery was an Irishman,
the son of a member of the Brit
ish parliament. Educated at
Trinity college in Dublin, he en-
tered the British army as an
ensign at the age of eighteen just
in time to take part in the last
p struggle between France and
Great Britain for control of the
North American continent. Then
he twas ordered to the West In
dies and fought in the campaigns
against Martinique and Havana.
Then he returned to New York
and a short time later went to
England where he became init
mate with many of the liberal
members of parliament.
Friend of the Famous.
He mbered among his
friends such men as Edmund
Burke, Charles James Fox and
Isaac Barre but even their in
fiuence could not aid his claims
for advancement in the army. So
lie sold Lis commission in 1772
and returned to America where
he settled down as a farmer at
Kings Bridge, now a part of
New York City. There he met
and fell in love with Janet Liv-
ingston, the daughter of Judge
Robert r. Livingston, a leader
in New York colonial affairs, and
they were married in 1878.
When the dispute between the
colonies and the Mother Country
had reached an acute stage,
. Montgomery had become such an
active and public-spirited citizen
in his adopted land that he was
sent as delegate from Duchess
county to the first provincial con-
gress in New York City in May,
ITS.
While there he received word
that the Continental Congress
had decided to raise troops to de-
fend colonial rights and that a
commission as brigadier-general
was to be offered to him. His
name was the second on the
list of eight who were given that
rank and the only one not from
New England.
Montgomery was detailed for
active duty almost Immediately.
Ethan Allen and his Green Noun
tain Boys, aided by Benedict Ar
mold, had captured Ticonderoga
and the path to the conquest of
Canada seemed open. Mai. Gen.
Philip Schuyler was to lead the
expedition with Montgomery as
second in command. His wife ac-
'companied him as far north as
Saratoga where she bade him
goodbye. She never saw him
alive again.
7 A Campaign of Hardships.
Soon after the expedition start
ed, Schuyler fell i'll and the COM
mand devolved upon Montgom-
cry. Despite the mutinous con-
duct of his militiamen, the
shortage of munitions and the
difficulties of travel through the
wilderness, Montgomery's cam
paign began as a brilliant sue
cess. He won at Isle aux Noix,
reduced the fortress at st. Johns
won again at Chambly and
forced the surrender of Montreal.
But Quebec still remained in the
hands of the British and Mont
goTnery wrote to congress: "Till
Quebec is taken, Canada is un-
conquered"

the attention of the defenders
while the real attacks were to
be launched at two places along
the river road.
The attack was made early on
the morning of December 81
while a snowstorm was raging.
Montgomery personally led his
men from Wolfe's Cove along the
side of the cliff beneath Cape Di-
amond to a point where {. block
house stood protected in front of
a stockade. Montgomery's men,
rushing through the swirling
snow easily carried the first bar

officer serving in this expedition
even though court should de-
clare him innocent of treason. He
was Capt. Aaron Burr, who was
an aide on Arnold's staff.
Arnold's army consisted of
about 600 men and, although the
combined forces of the two
American commanders were
equal to that of Sir Guy Carle-
ton, the governor of Canada, the
British had the advantage of
more cannon and supplies and
the even greater advantage of
fortified position.
On December 9 Montgomery
received word that he had been
made "a major-general for his
success in the Canadian cam
|, paign. Spurred on by the recog-
milton but even more by the criti-
cal situation in which he found
!, s,hirnself, Montgomery resolved to
attempt the capture of Quebec
as soon as possible. The term of.
enlistment of many of his men
was expiring, smallpox was prev
alent in the camp and, with win
ter almost upon them, a pro-
longed siege of the place was out
of the question.
The Plan Of Attack.
So the American commander
called a council of war at which
it was decided to try to carry the
city by assault. False attacks
were to be made on the St. Johns
gate and other points along the
walls of the upper town to divert

"Men of New York; You will
not fear to follow where your
general leads!" exclaimed Mont
gomery as he led them toward
the second barricade in the mar
row street. Suddenly the port
holes in the blockhouse guarding
the second barricade were
thrown open and a storm of ar
tillery and musketry fire swept
the close-packed ranks of the
Americans. Montgomery, two of
his aides and ten soldiers went
Gown under the, whitening fire.
Burr, who had been transferred
from Arnold's division to Mont
'gpmeryIs, tried in vain to rally
the men, But the blast of fire
which had killed their leader
broke their spirit and they re-
treated without even trying to re-
cover the body of their command
er. If he had survived he might
have carried them through to
victory. But without his inspir-
ing presence that hope was vain.
Meanwhile the British, hearing of
the repulse to Montgomery's at
tack, concentrated their atten-
ton on the column led by Ar
mold and Morgan, trapped it in
the narrow streets, captured 400
men and drove the remainder out
of the city.
Several hours after the. repulse
of Montgomery's columns "a cap
tured American officer was taken
to the barricade where the 13
frozen bodies of his comrades
were lying half covered with
drifting snow. He identified that
of Montgomery and Carleton,
who had known the American
leader when he was a British
captain, ordered that he be Civ
en- a military funeral. This was
done on January 4, 1776, and he
was buried at the Gorge of St.
Louis bastion with the governor,
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, the council
of Quebec and all the principal
officers of the garrison in attend
ance.
For 42 years Montgomery's
body remained in it's original
burying place. In 1918 it was
removed to the city of New York
where it was buried beneath the
monument erected to his men,
ory in front of St. Pauls church.
Although this: monument is not
such well known patriotic
shrine as others in that metropo-
lis, the fame e2of Richard Mont
gomery is perpetuated in the
names of no less than 18 counties
in as many states of the Union
number exceeded by only a
few other Revolutionary heroes.
So
Perhaps it is idle to speculate
on what might have been" but
there is gOod7 reason to believe
that the death of Montgomery on
that December morning 161
years ago was more impor--
tant event in our history than it
is usually credited with being.
If he had not been killed but had
led his men to the victory, which
is not improbable, the capture of
Quebec would have brought Can
ada under the domination of the
Patriot cause early in the Revo-
lutionary struggle. If that had
come about, the long weary
struggle of seven years might
have been considerably short
ened; Benedict Arnold, sharing
with Montgomery the laurels of
the capture of Quebec would have
been spared the bitterness of be-
ing denied the laurels he won at
Saratoga, would not have fallen
a victim to his disappointment
and disillusionnent and become.
