The Chairman remarked: Honorabie Members bhefore proceeding to the ordoer of the day 1 desire to make a few re- marks. During my absence in the Uni- ted States. I was honored while in Wash- ington by being leceived by rhe Presi- dent of the United States in private au- dience. As I waited in the anti-rocom in the White House to be ushered into the pres- ence of .the first citizen of ,the United States my- memory became active in gonjuring up images of the men of the past occupants of the White House. Would that those walls could impart to visitors some portion of i(be ethereal spirit with whieh their former illustrious occupants was so deeply imbued and who so largely contributed toward the making of our mighty republic-—men whose learning and researches, whose talents and genius contributed so much to the supremacy of these United States. It was here that John Adams a signer of the Declaration of Inc.pendence first held sway—a man of exemplary conduct. It was here jthat James Madison came with polished and chastened wit; and where with his able consort Dolly Madi- son assembled the beauty of the land to pay court to that noble example of home wifely virtue. It was bere that James Monroe that mighty author of the so styled Monroe Doctrine, whose words thus expressed Lad such a potent influence upon the world during the past century. It was here that An- drew Jackson, ‘‘old hickory’, as bhe was ‘called, from his stern and un- flinching sense of duty—He was not a statesman, but he was fair, he was en- ergetic, he was prompt and he was fear- less. It was here that Abraham Lincoln that giant of intellect, so lean in statue, but so mighty as a scholar and moralist, vet so kind and soft for the afflicted. It was here. that William McKinley whose learning and talent and genius contributed soc much toward the supre- macy of the United Ststes. And it %as here that Theodore Roosevelt the mighty advocate of justice toward all men, the man whose every thought was a square deal for all held sway and who contri- buted so much toward increasing respect
