Res., No. 119] Whereas September 1938 is the one hundred and twenty-fifth anni- versary of the Battle of Lake Erie; and Whereas the Battle of Lake Erie, won by Oliver Hazard Perry, is one of America's most noted heroic examples of patriotism and the overcoming of almost overwhelming odds, known to every school child in the United States; and Whereas this naval victory was more than a victory upon the Great Lakes, but decided the fate of the War of 1812, and by Perry's victory saved, won, and opened to the United States the great Western Territory, thus making us a Nation; and Whereas this famous battle was won near Put in Bay, in the waters of Lake Erie, just north of Sandusky, Ohio; and Whereas Congress has already recognized this important chapter of American history by making Perry's Victory Memorial, located at Put in Bay, Ohio, a national shrine of patriotism; and Whereas the shadow of war lurks over a great portion of the world and, in contrast thereto, this celebration would offer an opportunity to focus world-wide attention upon the desire of the people of the United States to promote peace and neighborliness with all nations, as symbolized by the boundary line near this scene where under- standing and friendship are the only sentries needed to guard the relationships between the United States and Canada: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That there be appointed a commission to prepare and bring about a suitable celebration of the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the Battle of Lake Erie, and that September 10, 1938, be established as the date of this cele- bration at Sandusky and Put in Bay, Ohio; said commission to be composed of five men selected by the Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives.
