He also announced his appoint- ment to represent the President in the supreme council in the discussion over Silesia. Words a Revelation. Mr. Harvey's “plain words on the Jeague were a revelation, and his plea for the closest co-operation between the two great English-speaking coun- tries was impressive. [ The British prime minister made an eloquent speech, but rather disap- pointed those who hoped for more of international plain speaking, which is the fashion of the moment. The premicr described the plight of Eu- rope, enmeshed in ancient feuds, and gave warm welcome to the new co- operation of America in world affairs. The Duke of Connaught presided \ and Lord Desborough read a message . from the American Pilgrims. Lord Curzon, secretary for foreign affairs, spoke briefly, and humorously referred to the league of nations by the wish that Lord Robert Cecil, one ,of the chief supporters of that or- @anization, was in his shoes. There were 350 diners, among them the Duke of York, and many members * of the peerage and representatives of the American colony. Mr. Harvey's Address. Mr. Harvey paid tribute to the Pil- grims as the most distinctive link in the chain of blood relationship be- tween the British and American peo- ples and one of the most potent; mgencies of civilization. Their activi-} ties, he said, had been a sustained tabor of love and patriotism, which only now were beginning to fructify in an earnest desire and determination on the part of both peoples to blow away the mists of misconstruction and misunderstanding which far too long had hidden_ their true natures one from the other. “Inevitably, you to the east of us derive your information respecting! our public opinion from the great| cities on our Atlantic seaboard.” the ambassador continued, “precisely as our friends to the west of us take theirs from the border states on the | “Itiis not,” Mr. Harvey declared. - country stands ready to work with your: because, first, it is to our own interest to do so: and, secondly, because it is to the advantage of both. We do not recent being called idealists, even, as sometimes happens, by those whose anticipated reward for extolling our al- truism is transparently material. But we have come to realize in the past few years that ideals too often resolve into illusions, and illusions we have found to be both ‘dangerous and profitless. ‘We deceive ourselves occasionally. Zven to this day at rare intervals an ebullient sophomore seeks applause_by shouting that ‘We won the war.' Far more prevalent until recently was the impression that we went to war to res cue humanity from all kinds of mena ing perils. Boys Fought for America. “Not a few remain convinced that we sent our young soldiers across to save this kingdom, France and Italy. That is not a fact. We sent them solely to save the United States of America, and most reluctantly and laggardly at that. “We were not too proud to fight, whatever that may mean. We were afraid not to fight. That is the real truth of the matter. So we came along toward the end and helped you and your allies shorten the war. That is all we did and that is all we claim to have done.” Disscussing what he called _the “sentiment, perilous present,” Ambas- sador Harvey said: “For years 1 have heard it pro- claimed that war between Great Britain and America had ceased to be conceivable. Never have I known the declaration to be denied general ap- probation. Yet it is clear that what is alleged to be a fact is more than an assumption. No resumption of an armed conflict is unimaginable. Any day may witness a renewal of the war of the roses. any day the clash of the blue and the gray in the swamps of Virginia. “But so unlikely are such happen- ings that the suggestion, even though it incredibly were made. would evoke no more than a derisive smile. But it is one thing to stamp constantly upon an absurd notion, and another thing never to think of it at all. “Now the question rises, have not waged between the two branches of our government over this proposal. I need hardly mention that the conflict became so sharp that even the treaty went by the board, to the end that today, paradoxically enough. America continues to be technically at war, but actually at peace, while Europe is nominally at peace. but. according to all reports, is not wholly free from the clash of arms. i “Finally, the question of America’s participation in the league came.be- fore the people, who decided by a ma- jority of seven millions. Prior to that ©clection there had been much discus- sion,of the real meaning of the word mandate. There has been little since. A single example provided a defini- tion. “A majority of seven millions clearly conveyed a mandate that could neither be misunderstood nor disre- sarded. E Will Keep Out of League. “It follows, then, that the present government could not, without be- trayal of its creators and masters, and will not, I can assure you, have any- thing whatsoever to do with the Abe Martin Says: - league or any commission or commit- to tee appointed by it or responsible it directly or indirectly, openly furtively.” Mr. Harvey declared that the go ernment would not dream of critici: ing or objecting to the league, and exclaimed: “But enough of public af- fairs! PFerhaps I have gone too far along that line already, but if so, 1 must ask you to atiribute the over- stepping to the self-bestowed pre- rogatives of a novice. You see, I have never been an ambassador be- fore. Yet. I quite proudly deny any suspicion of unawareness that suit- able acknowledgement of this most cordial greeting is all that is expected or probably desired of me upon this occasion.” The time was, sald the ambassado; “Hain't it great t’ be a moss- back democrat an’ jest lay back an’ watch events?” observed Ole 1z Pash t'day.

Harvey is no stranger to Eng- added the duke. *This is his thirty-seventh passage across the At- lantic. His knowledge of England | and his knowledge of Europe will be | of the greatest help to him in the high position he now occupies. “You will all agree that we would all wish that America and the British empire should walk hand in hand community that nothing can break. Welcomed for Many Reasons. “We welcome the new ambassador for many reasons. He is a brilliant L who has left his mark on of events in his own coun- try upon many ci al occasions. 1 read the other day testimony to his gifts by the President, who said he was ‘one who had more to do in the awakening of the soul of America than any one outside of official life, who writes with the most trencha and convincing pen of any man in th country. “‘Mr. Business Man through the many difficulties that be- HERE IS AN OP- set us in this world for the benefit e = of the peace of the world in general.

Inferences thus drawn may be right or wrong, but whether right or wrong their bases obviously are the subject of sectional and peculiar in- fluences. The heart of our republic lies in the great plain which stretches from the Alleghenies to the Rockies, + where rests the dominant political power of the nation.” It was from the hardy stock of that region., Mr. Harvey declared, that America had drawn seven of ten of its recent chief executives, including President Harding. President “Typical American.” < President Harding was portrayed by the ambassador as “a typical, modern American. proud of his own country, but Jealous of no other man's; re: lute ‘in maintaining his own nation’s rights, but not less scrupulous in recognizing the rights of others: a fair. just. modest man, humble, but unafraid.” The outstanding attributes of Presi- dent Harding. Mr. Harvey said, are breadth of vision. greatness of heart, fidelity to his race no less than to his clan. and no more to his family than to his ancestry. drawn from all parts | of the United Kingdom. Mr. Harvey | declared these were sufficient indica- tions and reasons why Mr. Harding felt in the very fiber of his being at! this crucial period that friendliness| and good will should exist always be- tween the peoples of the great Eng- lish-speaking nations and why he now pledges unfaltering co-operation in achieving that aspiration. *T shall fail miserably. to the griev ous disappointment of my chiaf.” Mr.!

Very Our new government, solid in of its good. all its branches in support Mr. Harvey cited the Washington administration’s proposal for a solu- tion of the Pacific communications problem, the American stand on rep- arations and the designation of Amer- ican members for the allied councils as indications of this willingness and | readiness.
