That historic Instrument, promulgated on July 4, 1776, Is the most Important In American history. A beautiful shrine of bronze and marble In the Library of Congress, at Washington, is the resting place of this cherished parchment. Beside it reposes the Constitution of the United States as drafted by the nations fathers. There, under amber glass which protects them from discoloration by the light, they may be seen by visitors. Without reference to book or pamphlet, Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration out of his own heart. The original draft, submitted to a committee of trusted leaders appointed from the Confnental Congress for the purpose, approved the Instrument after minor changes had been made and It was accepted by congress two days later. This formal Declaration of July 4, 1776, gave full force and finality to the actual condition of Independence which already existed. Probably no two peoples have more in common or have lived In greater amity than Great Britain and the United States have lived for more than a century. Certainly nowhere else In the world could be found such a thing as an undefended boundary line of 3,000 miles.

Among these was the stump act, which levied a tax In America on stamped paper. It brought an outburst of opposition, but petitions that crossed the Atlantic were of no avail. Later It was followed by Import duties on Beglass, paper, paints and tea. cause of protests, all finally were repealed except the tax on tea. Colonists refused to buy tea, but shiploads of It were sent away to New and York, Boston, Philadelphia Charleston. It appeared that Britain was attempting to force Americans both to buy tea and to pay a tax on It. Boston rallied to the occasion with the celebrated Boston Tea Party," a midnight festivity in which men disguised as Indians boarded a ship and threw the tea cargo Into the harbor. To discipline Boston for this, the British then closed the port to all shipping and sent soldiers to occupy the city. There were other measures of reprisal also. Believing that Massachusetts was the fountainhead of resistance, parliament passed another act revising the charter of Massachusetts and providing for the transportation to England of certain offenders for trial. Massachusetts rebelled, the other colonies stood behind her. There were hurried activities which savored of preparation for war. Mlnutemen were organized and quantities of were collected and ammunition stored at Concord. General Gage, occupying Boston, determined to destroy these stores and sent 800 men from Boston to do the work. When they reached Lexington on the morning of April 19, 1775, they found about 50 mlnutemen In their way. They fired on the "embattled farmers, killing eight and wounding ten, and proceeded to Concord. On their way back to Boston they were attacked by gathering militia forces and all but annihilated. The war had begun.

That was the Inscription on a flag carried through the streets of London by a man described as a forlorn outcast struggling with the banner which he was bnrely able to carry. Lets be pleasant to each other. We are all having a dreadful time. Was the man who carried that flag a striking workman? Was he a hunger mnreher? Was he a Democrat, Fascist, Communist? When people carry banners they are usually campaigning for something. What did this man want? I should say he was as close to a modern Messiah as we shall see.

It would be the happiness of the huPeace on earth, good man race. will to men. If the man who carried that banner could Implant his message In the hearts of every man, woman and child, he would certainly get what he wanted.

The trouble of that f day may be ascribed to the mischievous theory of colonization which formerly prevailed in England and, indeed. In all the rest of Europe, a theory that parliament might enact laws binding upon the colonies "In all cases whatsoever' without regard to the wishes of the colonies. Acting upon this theory, England tried to exploit her American colonies.
