32 SPEAKS IN PRAISE OF EDMUND BURKE Dr. Thomas E. Green, Patriotic Address, Enter- tains Sons of Revolution. in The Revolutionary War was fought by English colonists and their chil- dren against a forelgn King on-the English throne, who, sustained by a corrupt and venal Parliament, rep- resented much the same spirit that as but yesterday sought to grasp and dominate the world, Dr. Thomas K. Green of the American Red Cross declared in an address last night be- fore the Sons of the Revolution in the District of Columbia at the Racquet Club. Dr. Green spoke on the life of Ldmund Burke, whose 168th birthday anniversary was com- memorated yesterday by the Sons at the base of the statue to him and at the meeting last night It is worth remembering,” said Dr. Green, “that he who became the father of a new country: he who be- came one of the world characters re- vered throughout the earth; he Who was first In war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen; he who led the impoverished and ill- equipped soldiers of liberty to a vic- tory that was a turning point in the history of the ages, while he was the great American, was nevertheless, in # broader and historical sense, a typleal English gentleman. Battle Was for Liberty, “Let it not be forgotten that we fought for our liberty with England, that Is true—but let it be remem- bered, ‘too, that the Declaration of Independence begins Its catalogue of facts submitted to a candid world by saying, ‘'The history of the present King 6f Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpation on the part of a prince whose character is marked by every act which may define a tyrant? “Such, however. was the condition The obstinacy and selfishness of an ignorant and stubborn King lost En land the brightest star in her crown, but gave as well to the world the pattern and example df a new order of the ages. “And Edmund Burke marked degree the philosophy that made that new order of the ages. He saw what In reality are the rights of men. During his career Edmund Burke rendered greater service to the cause of humanity than any man of his time {n Europe, Dr. Green added. He prepared the for the abolition of the slave trade, and he advocated the cause of humanity in India against the soulless cupidity of stockholders {n chartered companies. To each of these causes he brought a capacity for patient research and an eloquence of pleading that have seldom been equaled.” Cltes Corruption In Parliament. Dr. Green described the corruption In Parliament “in those days,” ex- plaining that £25,000 s sald to have been spent under the ministry of Lord Butte, the agent of King George, who uséd h royal revenue to buy seats and to pur- was in a prophet of the Tt is v\oll that we should remember these things as In vlew of present conditions and of future responsibili- ties we consider the question of Anglo-Saxon solidarity as a stabil- ising factor in the future of the world,” declared Dr. Green In reviewing the eariy life of Burke in his scholastic days and the source of his education, .Dr. Green said: “T fancy If you ask the cus- todians of our great libraries to make You a list of the books that are called for and read as a part of the literary taste and training of our day, you will find it sadly at varlance with the rources from which came the culture and inspiration that, on both sides of the ocean, is recognized to- day as monumental.” Libby Issue Discussed. F. P. B. Sands, former prasident of the Sons of the Revolution and a representative of the soclety at the meeting December 18 in which the question of permitting Frederick J. Libby, executive secretary of the National Council for the Prevention of War, to address the District school children, submitted a report on that meeting. Mr. Sands opposed the ap- plication and added that while “we are confident as to the sufficiency of the evidence we presented to sustain eur objections to Mr. Libby, we could rot ascertain from the committee ‘what their sentiments were; and we have simply to hope that in their de- cislon they will show themselves to be 100 per cent loyal and intelligent citizens,” Dr. Marcus Benjamin read a fesolu- tion adopted by the board of man- agers during the Summer months taking cognizance of the activities of Mr. Libby in the preamble and de- ploring the “pernicious activities and propaganda, socalled, as tending to destroy the patriotic spirit of the vouths of this country.” The resolu- tion was adopted unanimously by t soclety and unanimous app was given to the report of Mr. Sands. Compliments Glibert Grosvenor. Brig. Gen. orge Richards, U.S. M. C.. president and presiding officer, recommended a resolution congratu- lating Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the National Geographic Soclety, for the success of the reception and ban- quet to Ambassador Jusserand Satur- day night, at which many members of the Sons of the Revolution were present. General Richards also eon mented on the results obtained the society’s essay contest among the school children on the effect of the “Battle of York” on the English na- tion.

An audience that filled the auditorium of the Central High School loyally their favorite conductor, Walter Dam- rosch, give one of the most interesting of his popular “explanatory” recitals. Dvorak’s “Symphony No. 3 in sar Fra Redemption, Morceau ‘mphonique,” both compositions that are seldom heard in Washington, were featured. “This symphony is, the greatest of Dvorak's orchestral works, next to his famous ‘New Warld Symphony,’ based upon Afro- American folk tunes,” said Mr. Dam- rosch in speaking of the Dvorak work. “Tt is Mendelssohnian in char- acter, but not German Mendelssohn— Bohemian Mendelssohn. It opens with a theme thal Suggests water, sea nymphs and dolphins, this first theme being enlarged upon and developed | into a marvelous climax in the finale. In the third, ‘allegro scherzando,’ movement a refined peasant dance theme is the motif. It is such a mel- ody' as only a Czechoslovak could have woven into a symbolic move- ment.” After. hearing the pretation given the entire by the orchestra, it derstand why Dr. taken this Dvorak shelves of his library, where he say it has been reposing for 30 years, being played only infrequently, and put it on this Winter's programs. Al- though not especially big in theme or development, it is certainly a mu- sicianly piece of work, he said The French composer’s “Redemp- | tion” seems indeed to be an inspired work, it was stated; part of an ora- torio built about the same religious theme as Wagner" j00d Friday Spell” music, the two themes of pray- or and exaltation are interwoven un- til a climax of great power and beauty is finally reached.
