The outstanding thing that has

Washington during a visit here this
year is the tremendous Federal
building and improvemen~ pro-

Washington the most beautiful ,cap-
ital city in the world, Those who
saw Washington as I did In the
decade from 1909 to 1919 could not
believe then that there could or
would take place in Washington in
this generation the changes and
improvements that are being made
today.
While the nation's capital was
most fortunately grandly and nob-
ly planned by Washington, Jeffer-
son and L'Enfant their plans, uP
to this generation, were carried out
only in a general way. The out-
standing fulfillments under these
plans up to the time of my service
in Congress in 1919 were substant-
ially the following: wide streets
and broad avenues radiating from
the capitol to all sect]or~ of the
city and to all parts of the District
of Columbia; the capitol and the

thoroughfare lined wi~h a motJey

by off lamps and its parks over-
grown and much neglected.
Washington, as I recall it at the
close of the World War, had ma~kv
beautiful sections but theffe wa~ a
crying need for its fuller, larger
and finer development under a d~,
finite and systematic p~an of mo-
dern city building. Then Penr~sFl,

ed and surpassed in magnitude and

Since the close of ~he Wo~Id
War it-is recognized more full~
than ever before that Washington
is not only the nationa capital but,
in a lar~er senae, it is a symbol ~f
America. The dignity and magnif*

stimulates a pride in our country
and elevates and inspires the
thought and spirit of our Pemple.
