to accept a bona fide offer to
make foreign policies co-opera-
lively, so that those policies can
command unity at home and at

those who take that position ought
to be repudiated at the polls. Re-

make such bona fide offer ought

Unless the two major parties do

Lee and Grant Meet Again at Appomottox
BY The Asseeieted Press

APPOMATTOX. Va, April II.
More than 10000 southerners
gathered in quiet ranks at Apo
mattox Court House yesterday to
hear once again how their grand
fathers tasted the bitterness of a
lost war.
/ The scene was the red brick
Mclean House, now restored to
what it was that foggy Palm Sun
day morning of April 8, 1865, when
the Civil War-still Americas
bloodiest-came to its end.
They heard again how Gen. Lee
put on his gold-laced uniform,
his sword and his gloves. and told
his staff:
Il am going to see Gen. Grant"
House Dedicated as Shrine.
The occasion yesterday was the
dedication of the surrender house
as a national shrine.
Although there were Northern
ers present, the day belonged less
to them than to the memory of
the Army of Northern Virginia,
which laid down its arms amid the
burgeoning oaks and locusts Of
this little county seat.
After the last of the oratory had
faded among the same trees
yesterday. the crowd milled about
quietly, loath to leave, moved.
and maybe a bit puzzled at the
continuing tug of a cause that has
been lost these IS years.
The symbolism of the day was
national unity. and another Grant
and another Lee were at hand to
cut the silken ribbons at the
doorway of the old home.
Grant and Lee Meet Again.
Yesterdays Grant was Major
Gen. U. s. Grant III of Washing
ton, D. c.. grandson of the victory
of Appomattox. The Lee was
Robert E. Lee w of San Francisco,
25-year- -old great-grandson of the
Virginian.
They laughed and smiled and
wrote autographs for the chill
dren and Bobby-soxers who clus-
tered around them. But Gen.
Grant. returning a compliment,
left the field early to his younger
companion.
The principal figure of the fete
was DR.. Douglas Southall Free
man, the Richmond editor who is
Lees greatest biographer.
1t was DR.. Freeman who re-
told the story of the great sur
render in detail and with power
how Lee choked back his tears and
nodded while his men wept un-
ashamedly and asked, General,
General. Are we sur
rendered."
Lees Flag Is Displayed.
Beside DR.. Freeman as he spoke
were the stars and bars of a Con-
federate battle f1ag-no crisp 1850
