In the operation and main tenance of the interchange bureaus, part of the association work, he plained, about $750,000 was disbursed. “The association’s campign to raise its credit justice fund for ‘‘punish- ment and prevention of commercial crookedness,” Mr. Tregoe said, was prompted by realization of “a lower- ing morale in the treatment of credit contracts.” The campaign he char- acterized as “‘unquestionably the most progressive and far-reaching move- ment ever undertaken by a comme: cal body since the beginning of the Nation’s history."” % he Butte, Mont., association, it was reported, gave up lts identification with the national body, but new asso clations were orzanized at Elmira, N.

We are {rounding out a century and a half from the beginning of the American {revolution. Tt was a half century from the days of Concord and Lexing- jton to the beginning of that stream of | immigration from Norw to help guarantee that the spirit of freedom which had been so t umphant in the colonies should not be lost to the States. Profited by Immigrat When we consider the astornishing inumber of immigrants which the Scandinavian countries have contrib- | uted in proportion to their own popu- lation to making the body of Ameri y which was | can citizenship, we will appreciate the | Isignificance of this anniversary.

Because of a profound appreciation of that contribution and of its truly| national value 1 have found it an es- | pecial pleasure to come here and join in this commemoration. {of loyalties that are all beyond pes: i bility of question, it may be difficult to choose among the many national and |racial groups that have sought out America for their home and their {country. We are thankful for all of them, and yvet more thankful that the experiment of their common citizen ship has been so magnificently justi- fied in its results. If one were seek- ing proof of a basic brotherhood among tall races of men, if one were to chal- lenge the riddle of Babel in support of aspirations for a unity capable of { suring peace to the nations, in such {an inquiry 1 suppose no better testi- {mony ‘could be taken than the expe- Irience of this country. Out of the nfusion of tongues, the conflict of | traditions, the variations of historical | setting, the vast differences in talents |and tastes. there has been evolved a spiritual union accompanied by a |range of capacity and genius which marks this Nation for a pre-eminent destiny. The American commanded the respect of the world. I Anniversaries Influential. 1t is a good thing that anniversaries uch as this are so widely commemo- rated.

These incen- {tives to special examination of par- ticular historical phases teach us bet- |ter to understand our country and our jcountrymen. Any one who will study | the institutions and people of Amer- lica will come more and more to ad- | mire them. One re: n that moved me to accept {the cordial invitations to come here to- day was the hope of directing some measure of national’ attention to the | absorbingly interesting subject of the isocial backgrounds of our country. The making of such a country is not to be told in any mere category of | dates, battles, political evolutions and | partisan_controversies. Back of all !these, which are too often the chief {material of history, lies the human story of the unsung millions of plain Ipeople whose names are strangers to |public place and fame. Their lives have been replete with quiet, unpre- {tentious. modest. but none ‘the less | neroic virtues. irom these has been composed the sum of that magnificent and wondrous adventure, the making of our own America. Somewhere in the epic of struggle to subjugate a | continent there will be found & phi- | of human relations that the il greatly prize.

They feared that from such a melting | pot of divers elements we could never |draw the tested, tempered metal that is the only substance for national character. Even among ourselves were many who listened with serious concern to such forebodings. They weré not quite sure whether we had created a nation with the soul of a nation. They wondered if perhaps we had merely bruoght together a large number of people in_a large place.

These Norsemen whose beginnings in the United States we here cele- brate have exercised a great influ- ence upon our modern history and Western civilization whicch it is dit- | ficult to match among any other like | number of people. In many ways their influence upon Northern and Western Europe may be compared to that of the Greek states upon the civilization of the Mediterranean. They were the {first deep-sea navigators.

[They were at once the tecrors of the Western Roman empire and the guar- |dians of the Eastern. | Mediterranean was The medieval happy hunting |ground for them.

As |itself for several centuries as one of | the real repositories of ancient cul- ture in a world whose lamp of learn- ing seemed near to flickering out. We have long known of the noble Ice landic literature which was produced during those generations of the intel- lectual twilight: but we know too little of the part which Iceland performed as an outpost of the sturdy northern culture in bridging over the gulf of arkness between the ancient and modern eras of history. These sons of Thor and Odin and the great free north shape themselves in the mind's eye very princes of high and hardy adventure. From Norway to Iceland, from Iceland to |Greenland, from Greenland to the |mainland, step by step they worked their way across the north Atlantic. | They found the western ocean, and it was a Norseman who first traversed Bering St there was no land connection between Asia and North America. One ders whither th Northmen would turn for adventure if the earth should ploration offered no more challenges. Within a very few years one of them first traversed the northwest passage from Atlantic to Pacific, and the same one, Amundsen, carried the flag of Norway to the South Pole: and now, within a few dayk past, he has been the first to make large explorations in the region of the North Pole in {an airplane, tempting a fate which, | | | | ias I write, is unknown. Vovage of Restaurationen. One likes to linger over these tales of adventure and exploration. One of them has a special significance in con- nection with this celebration which entitles it to more particular refer- ence. This, of course, is the voyage of the little sloop Restaurationen. which in 1825 brought the first or. ganized party of Norwegian immi. grants to this country. One reared on the New England tradition of the Mayflower will find all the materials for a new legend of pioneering in the voyage of the Restaurationen. She was a sloop of 45 tons, whereas the Mayflower was rated as 180 tons. The Restaurationen sailed from Stavan. ger, Norway, on July 4, 1825, with & desperately heavy cargo of iron and a party of 52 people. She came safely into the port of New York after a vovage of 14 weeks, which compares with 9 weeks required for the historic passage of the Mayflower. The arrival of the Restaurationen created a sensation among those inured to the sea. It was claimed that she was the smallest vessel that had ever made the transqtlantic crossing. The New York authorities threatened to deny her the privileges | of the port on the ground t| carried too many S {much cargo. 1 leased, | She was ultimately re. apparently through the in fluence of the Soclety of Iriends. Most passengers seemed to have been members of a Norwegian religious community intimately relat- ed to the Quakers, and it appears that jone of their reasons for coming to was that they had not enjoved Bentire liberty of religious | opinion Bt home. Thus the parallel | between the voyages of the Mayflower land of the Restaurationen, despite | that they were separated by more than 200 years, is impressive in sev- eral ways. Made First Settlement. Almost without money or supplies, the little company of immigrants were taken in charge by the New York Quakers, who raised funds to send them to Kendall, Orleans County, N. Y. There they secured lands and established the first Norwegian set- tlement in this country. It {s a curious circumstance that although the Nor- wegians are among the greatest sea- faring peoples, this party was com- posed almost en! | this country o quality | 1 high ideal in | toward | boldly | saw the light | a little Norse Republic it maintained | | changed. t and demonstrated that ! won- | ever be so completely charted that ex- | passengers and too | tirely of farmers, sl G _STAR, WASHING |that their first interest was to get land. And ever since the greater | share of Norwegians have come in | search of homes on the land. These |first immigrants, having practically no money, bought a tract on the shore of Lake Ontario for $5 per acre, to be { paid for in 10 annual installments. It |is hard to realize that western New ! York so late as 1825 was so far on | the frontier. Their land was heavily | timbered, and they were compelled i 1ot only to clear It, but to build their {own shelter. The first house is said to have been a log cabin 12 feet square, with i garret. In this 24 of them lived for o time, the men seek- ing such scanty employment as was jto be found in the neighborhood to support them through the Winter. | The only one in the party who could | spenk English was Capt.

Again, Norway Is a land | of wonderful fresh water lakes, and it is closely matched by Minnesota. Encouraged Immigration. There is one phase In the stor | immigration which seems always characterize it. Once the tide had set from a particular Luropean coun- try, the movement thereafter has in- variably been encouraged by the early comers. Not only did they urge | relatives and friends in the old home to come, but they devoted their new- found prosperity to help them. On i this subject there is an opportunity for some useful historical research. In the pre-Revolutionary days immi- | gration to America seems to have | been encouraged from the other side, | partly from political and partly from | business motives. The countries of Furope competed to con- | trol the best parts of the New World | by occupying it with their colonfes. | Immigration was encouraged both by the governments and by companies ! of merchant adventurers. At that| stage of the movement, of course, the | colonies possessed no wealth to help | | their friends to come. But after the Revolution the situation greatly New political conditions this country more attractive | ever before, and developing and opportunity emphasized So we find the people | er { of to| | | | made than wealth its invitation of our Republic deliherately and con- sciously encouraginz the movement in this direction. There is opportu- nity for a much more detailed exam- | ination of these factors in the Euro- | pean mizration than has vet been undertaken. It would be a profoundly | interesting contribution to the story of this greatest of all migrations that | humanity has ever accomplished if | we could know more of the precise | motives which have animated it. Reasons for Immigration. i | The contribution of this country | {to financing immigration of the last | | century and a third has certainly run linto hundreds of millions of dollars, {perhaps into billions. It has had a iprofound social influence, both here {and in Europe. Its economic conse- {quences could hardly be overesti mated. A detailed inquiry into these {facts should include a close consid- |eration of all the great migrations |which have marked the distribution of men throughout the world. Man | seems 1o have been from his begin- nings the most migratory of animals. His earlier movements appear to have had their chief motive in adventure and the desire to find regions where existence was most comfortable. There could hardly have been a very serious pressure of population, foy, it is only in recent historic times thaf this factor has existed. Some very early migrations were doubtless due to climatic or other physical condi- tions. Later on political, social, re- ligious and economic reasons caused the movements. Some went forth to make conquests, others were driven out by conquest. The chil- |dren of Israel migrated into Egypt to escape from famine. They left Egypt to escapt from bondage and to_recover their religious liberty.
