National Affairs: Adjournment

“Politics is adjourned,” a Wilsonian epigram, came true on the day of his death. His memory was saluted in every language, in every degree of respect, admiration, devotion.

It was Mrs. Wilson’s desire that the War President be buried as a private citizen and that his final resting place should be in the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul, Washington. The Cathedral, to be completed five years hence, thus begins to be an American “Westminster Abbey.”

The Government offered to place the body in Arlington Memorial Amphitheatre. The Senate, after hearing eulogies, adjourned until after the funeral. The House did likewise. Investigation of Teapot

Dome and all other activities were suspended.
