RESOLUTION:
BE IT RESOLVED: That the fourteenth of July
Message just given to this audience, is the heartfelt sent'
iment of each and every member hereof;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That this audience,
gathered at Seward, Alaska, in the, last and most tremen
dous of our frontier free countries, knowing and appreciat
ing the blessings of liberty, of freedom.of equality and of
fraternity, as one of many like audiences assembled under
the Stars and Stripes on this day, does hereby salute and
honor our Ally, The Republic of France.
And, Be It further Resolved: that this resolution, or
a copy thereof, he delivered to the French Ambassador,
for transmission to his people, thru the Four Minute Men
of the Committee on Public Information.
The abov e resolution was adopted last night at the
J iberty thearie ?>v standing vote. Yesterday was the anni
versary of the Independence of France and the resolution
explains itself.
Previous to the reading and the adoption of the reso'
lution, a message from the committee on public informat'
ion, at Washington D.C., was read by four minute speaker
R.L. Wever. The message was read in all parts of the Unit'
ed States and territories yesterday, in churches and at all
public gatherings. The message was as follows.
“Liberty ha* two birthday* — Om i:: ihe new world and one in the old.
Our own is marked by the ami versa y of our Declaration of independence
on July fourth, Seventeen Hundred Seventy-six. Jt is the birthday of a nation
in the new Western World dedicated to the proposition that all men are creat
ed free and equal. Its cradle was lndep< odence Hall, Philadelphia. That na
tion has become a great People which ha gatherd in its ideals the self-govern
ing nations of the two Americas and nov fights for the preservation of its
life, that government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not
perish from the face of th.i> earth.
, The second cradle of liberty was amid the ruins of the Pastille in Paris,
on July Fourteenth, 17bi>. The populace of Paris destroyed that great Med
iaeval prison, the emblem to them ol ty unity, oppression and autocratic gov
ernment. They lighted the torch of Lib ty at it'- smouldering ruins, and
sent their aimies forth from the first g »‘at European Republc to carry this
torch into a Europe governed by absolut sm and cursed with privilege and in
equality ana injustice.
These two great Republics aie children of the same spirit.
Their essential union from the days of Lafayette and Washington to the
days of Wilson and I'oimaire. of Persia g and Koch, has been unbroken.
French blood and treasure were given so that we might round the first
great experiment of self government.
America, today, sends In** million in men and her billions in gold that the
home of Joanne of Arc and th0 tomb of Layfette may remain inviolate.
France stands erect today unconquered and unconquerable.
America stan<ls beside her, our boy> in khaki shoulder to shoulder with
the horizon blue of Franee’s brave men.
Our Stars and Stripes over the tren< lies besides the tri-color of France
proclaim to the military masters ot Germany a union which shall carry the
cause of democracy to triumph and form the basis of a greater World Federa
tion in the days of peace. x»
Today, we ask of France nothing but the pi ivilege of repaying the debt we
owe.
We, too, celebrate the fall of the Bastille-the first stronghold of absolu
tism to go down by the rising power of free men.
We shall stand by her until the last stronghold af autocracy falls in ruins
about the Hohenzollem Dynasty.
Your sister Republic is giving everything, keeping, only, the imperishable
hope of that spirit of self-sacrifice for things greater than the lives of men
and nations, which is the crown and glory of France thru all the ages.
Accept from America, on the one hundred and twenty-ninth anniversary
of your dedication to self-government, the tribute, not of our sentiment alone,
but also of ourselves.
The voice of America proclaims today, with one accord, LONG LIVE!
LONG LIVE! LONG LIVE FRANCE! ! !
