ST. NAZAIERE, France, June 2§
—(#)—The ideals which stirred
Americans upon entry of the United
States into the World War are still
essential characteristics of the
American nation, Ambassador Myror
T. Herrick said today in an address
at the unveiling of a monument com
memorating tone landing of the first
American troops on French soil nine
Years ago.
Speaking before a great crowd of
French and American citizens, In--1
cluding general John J. Pershing,‘
Ambassador Herrick asserted ' that
the belief that the United States
had become a nation of materialistsl
was not true. Standing within a shortl
distance of the great monument de
signed by Mrs. Harry Payne Whit-j
ney, the ambassador declared that he;
did not believe the verdict of history
~would show that the United Statesl
had ever cringed when she was weak
or had ever Lcen arrogant when she
was strong. : ;
