' St Paul, Minn.--The combination flC Ctovln Coolidge and the Norwegian- American citizenry smashed all records for magnitude of outpouring la this empire of the Northwest. Not in their history have the Twf* Cities witnessed such a demonstration. Conservative estimates place the number of participants in the street demonstration at a quarter of a million, while more than one hundred thousand cheered and waved a welcome to the President and the first lady of the land at the fair grounda. America's success in fusing national rfhity from Its melting pot of diverse racial elements points the way for fraternity and co-operation among peoples on a world-wide scale, President Coolidge said in his address at the Nofte-American centennial at the yState fair grounds in Minneapolis. "If fraternity and co-operation," be said, "are possible on the scale of this continent among people so widely diverse, why not on th^ scale of the world? I feel It Is possible of realization. I am convinced that our national story might somewhat help to guide mankind toward such a goal." The President told his huge, audience that In the midst of "loyalties that are all beyond possibility of question" It was "difficult to choose among the many national and racial groups that have sought out America for their home and their, country." "We are thankful for all of them, and yet more thankful that; the ex* perlment of their common citizenship has been magnlflciently justified 1ft Its results," he said. "Out of the confusion of tongues* the conflict of traditions, the variations of historical setting, the vast differences in talents and tastes, there has been evolved a spiritual union, accompanied by a range of capacity and genius which marks this nation for a pre-eminent destiny. The American people have commanded the respect ot the world. "It Is not so many years since vi»> ltors from other quarters of the world were wont to contemplate our concourse of races, origins and inters ests and shake their heads ominously. "Had these misgivings been justified when the hour of trial came, It would have meant disaster to us and to the world. But Instead of crymbting Into a chaos of discordant elements. America proved its truly national unity. It demonstrated conclusively that there is a spiritual quality shared by all races and conditions of men. which is their universal heritage and common nature. Powerful enough to hold this people to a high Ideal In time of supreme trial, why may we not hope that the same influence will at length reach men and women wherever they are found on earth?" President Coolidge praised the Scandinavian immigrants for their contribution to American life. Recalling that just 100 years ago a group of fifty-two persons set out from Norway on the forty-flve-ton sloop Rffitauratlonen as the first organized party of lmmlgrnats from that country, the President said "Minnesota would not be Minnesota, .the group of Imperial northwestern states would not be what they are, but for the contribution that has been made to them by the Scandinavian countries." During the. period from 1815 to 1848, Mr. Coolidge asserted, Immigration from northern and western Europe not only built the United States "Into numbers, wealth and authority In the world, but had a tremendous reflex on Europe." "But for American example and Influence," he added, "the democratic movements of 1832 and 1848 in Europe might have been long postponed." Immigration from north and west Europe gave "constant encouragement there to liberal thought and action/* he said, "and in this country by gradually giving the North* a great preponderance in numbers, hastened the downfall of slavery. "America, with all that it repre* sents of hope in the world," the Pree- Ident told hie audience, ,"ls now, and will be, what you make it. Its institutions of religious liberty, of education and economic opportunity, of constitutional rights^ of lutegrity of the law, are the most precious possessions of the human race. "These do not emanate from the government. Their abiding place is with the people. They come from the consecration of the father, the love of the mother, and the devotion of the children. They are the product of that honest, earnest and tireless -efTort that goes into the rearing of the family altar and the makins of the hpme of otur country."
