By Virginia Caucus
ky the Axxoejoted Press

RICHMOND, Feb. 11.-A joint
Democratic caucus of the Virginia

mated Representative Almond for

Meanwhile, Mr.. Spiers was pic
tured by Delegate Robert White
head as a man who was being made

ton"
I'VE are told that John Spiers is
unacceptable because he is inde-
pendent-that trait that is such a
virtue in Washington but such a
sin in Richmond" said Mr.. White
head in seconding the nomination.

For Their Europeon-Aid Plan

ming to do. think that is a very
fine thing. When I was a boy

possible.
Knew Little About World.
"As a matter of fact, in those
DAYS, about all we knew of the
world was through our histories
and our Biographies. We learned
something of Europe, something OF
Africa, something of Asia. We
knew they had kangaroos in Aus
tralia and hot springs in New
Zealand, but not much else.
''As matter of fact, as I recall,
10 to IS miles was about our limit,
because that meant q 20 to 80 mile
drive or ride before you got home.
When the bicycle came in that let
us a little farther out.
I'VE knew little about the world
we knew little about the United
States except for those fortunate
few who could travel. Now, of
course, that is all changed.
II remember the first time was
aware of Manila, of the Philippines,
was when Admiral Dewey sailed
from Hongkong at the opening of
the Spanish American War. That
was in 1898. I knew about Manila
rope, but that was all I knew about
the Philippines.
Since then I have spent about
five years in the Philippines. Since
then I have been involved-in a way
with great operation to recover
the Philippines. r
Role of United States.
But the greatest change Of all
I thi1k--I knows in the position
Of the United States in the world
from being little known and al
most ignored when was your age
I'm the short period of my life
time, we are now recognized every
where as being the most powerful
Nation in the world and being
the acknowledged leader in tht
world.
Therefore, I think it is all the
more impressive and all the finer
for a group of boys your age te
undertake what you are now trying
to do. That is generous and fine
action on your part for the chill
dren Of Europe who are so much
in need Of help. And it is Of great
international Importance in estab.
