Augustus P. Gardner! What an American he was. what a true patriot! He was a soninlaw of the late Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. who declared before his death that the immigration act of 1924 was the most important piece of legislation enacted in the past 50 years. Lodge is gone. If I undertook to mention the great leaders of the Senate for 13 years past who have passed on and other departed leaders of the House of Representatives. I would not be able to close this speech in another hour. nor can I take time to mention distinguished Senators and Members of the House who have retired and are out of political life but still giving their best efforts to the welfare and future of this Government.
