For many American visitors to Spain, drawn there by the two expositions, one in Seville and the other in Barcelona, during the past sum- mer, also made a pilgrimage to Pulos and there saw the colossal figure the navigator, standing with arms resting on the traverse of a great cross, his eyes directed westward, looking out over blue waters of the Atiantie upon which he set sall from Palos in 1402 to discover a new world. of The statue, the work of an Ameri- ney, was unveiled last April with ap propriate ceremonies in which repre- sentatives of both Spain and United States took part. ing of this monument, America’s gift in appreciation of Spain's backing of example of a memorial which only honors a great personage in his tory but which also makes more bhind- ing the ties of friendship between two nations. The plan to erect memorial grew from a made in 1926 at a dinner given to the Spanish ambassador in Philadelphia. was eecured through contributions from American individuals and Insti- tutions, The total cost of it was $250,000. The statue consists of a 70-foot figure of Columbus surmounting a 44- foot base surrounded by a park and garden. The figure as made by Mrs " Whitney follows the authentic repro duction of Columbus made by Paulus Jovius and still in possession of the Orchi at Como. On the four corners of the pedestal are carved reliefs rep- resenting the hemispheres and within the hase is a 20-foot chamber in which figures of Ferdinand and Isa- _ bella sit In royal garb. The walis of the chamber are covered with reliefs, including the arms of Castile, Leon and Aragon, and aiso a map of the world as it was known before Colum bus’'s discovery of America. There is &lso an appropriate memorial to the erews of the Santa Maria, the Nina, Zl the Pinta. The statue Is of gran. ite from the famous Hibla quarries. Just as this memorial is the great. est among those erected to his mem- ory In Europe, so is the national mon. ument to Columbus in Washington, D. C, the greatest in America. This memorial, which stands on the plaza in front of the Union station in the National Capital, was designed by Daniel H. Burnham, architect of the Union station and member of the Na- tional Commission of Fine Arts, and Lorado Taft, the famous Chicago sculptor. It was erected under the auspices of the Knights of Colum- bus. It consists of a semicircular fountain 70 feet wide and 65 feet WAIHING: 2 Phote by Barre » Ebrreg deep, adorned with a Columbus and ether ures.

On either side of the shaft are mas sive figures portraying the New and Old world—the New, by the figure of an American Indian, reaching over his shoulder for an arrow from his quiy- er, and the Old, by the figure of a patriarchal Caucasian, hervic in phy- sique and thoughtful in mien. The globe at the top of the shaft repre sents the influence of Columbus op the growth of man's knowledge of the shape of the earth, Supporting It are four American eagles standing at the corners at the top of the shaft with wings partially extended. An even greater memorial to Colum bus than any which has heen erected will some day be a landmark in a Jand nected the history of nations of Americns are planning to co-operate in honoring him yet intimately cof with the great explorer.
