We are honored today by the pre-
sence of one, of the most distinguish-
ed citizens of France. who in his let-
ter presenting to Norwalk this French
cannon. expressed the spirit of this
celebration when he said. "The Ite-
public of France presents to the City
re~
cognition of the service rendered by
the men of Norwalk in the \‘i’orld
War. and in the hope that the spirit
of friendship and affection between
the sister republics may be further
advanced by this event."
I have the honor to present the
French High Commissioner. and Min-
ister Plenipotentiary. Maurice Case-
nave. who will now address you.
A hearty burst of applause greeted
.the representative of France as he
.stepped forward on the platform.
Three cheers proposed by General
Frost were given with a will. It was
several minutes before he was able
to speak.
The full address of Hon. M. Case-
nave was as follows:
"I consider that I am greatly honor-
ed and greatly privileged to be asked
to your patriotic exercises.
"The gun. which has been offered
to the City of Norwalk. by the French
government as a souvenir from our
people and as a token of gratitude for
the part your boys have taken in the
great war. has been fired for the great
principles of Liberty. Equality and
Fraternly. These principles are the
same which. one hundred and forty-
five years ago were proclaimed in yOur'
immortal declaration of Independence;
they are the same which were pro-
claimed by the French people when
they destroyed the Bastille of auto-
80
that the last war has been the logical
consequence of your war of Indepen-
dence and our French Revolution.
"Now the war has been brought to
a successful end and we hope that it
is ended forever. In this. my dear
friends. you may be certain that the
desire for peace is as deep in the
heart of the French as it is in the
heart of the American people.
“You know what France has suffer-
ed from war. The flower of her youth
killed. her richest provinces devas-
tated. the burden of heavy taxes
crushing her people for generations
to come. France cannot hear these
sufferings again.
"To reconstruct their homes. to re-
store their fields. to acquire the new
riches which are necessary to pay the
debts contracted in America. the
prime necessity is race and peace
is the prime desire of ,France.
"France desires to get rid of mili-
tary expenses. which overburden the
nation. After a war which the
French people fought in the hope of

this burden it is the most sincere and
earnest desire of France to be reliev-

permanent and feel also that it be
accompanied by security. Twice in the

skill of France was employed in 1873
