Recommending December 21, 1920, be obtenary of. My Fellow-Countrymen: December 21 next will mark the Tercentenary of the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth in 1620. The day will be becomingly celebrated at Plymouth under the auspices of the Plymouth Pilgrim Tercentenary Commission, and at other localities in Massachusetts. While this is proper and praiseworthy, it seems to me that the influences which the ideals and principles of the Pilgrims with respect to civil liberty and human rights have had upon the formation and growth of our institutions and upon our development and progress as a nation merit more than a local expression of our obligation, and make fitting a nation-wide observance of the day. I therefore suggest and request that the 21st of December next be served as the Tercen- observed throughout the Union with special patriotic services in order that the great events in American history that have resulted from the landing of these hardy and courageous navigators and colonists may be accentuated to the present generation of American citizens. Especially do I recommend that the day be fittingly observed in the universities, colleges, and schools of our country to the end that salutary and patriotic lessons may be drawn from the fortitude and perseverance and the ideals of this little band of sturdy men and women who established on this continent the first selfdetermined government based on the great principle of just law and its equal application to all, and thus planted the seed from which has sprung a mighty nation.

By the President: BAINBRIDGE COLBY Secretary of State. WOODROW WILSON BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION. WHEREAS, the destruction by fires in the United States involves an annual loss of life of 15,000 men, women and children, and over $250,000,000 in buildings, food stuffs and other created resources, and Whereas, the need of the civilized world for American products to replace the ravages of the great war is especially great at this time, and Whereas, the present serious shortage of home and business structures makes the daily destruction of buildings by fire an especially serious matter, and Whereas, a large percentage of the fires causing the annual American fire waste may be easily prevented by increased care and vigilance on the part of citizens: Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, do urge upon the Governors of the various States to designate and |
