By the Associated Press. PARIS, July 4—The Independence day banquet of the American Cham- ber of Commerce was one of the most brilliant in its history. Marshals Foch and Joffre were present and spoke, ae did the minister of commerce, M. Dior, and several other members of the cabinet, High officials, merchants,* bankers and prominent Americans fill- ed the long tables. The president of the chamber, Judge ‘Walter Berry, the first speaker, said that since the armistice the world had been buffeted between two Uto- plas—the league of nations and bol- shevism. He was certain that world peace depended on the security of France and was equally certain that that was only possible by render- ing Germany powerless to ruin Europe a_second time. The retiring American ambassador, Hugh C. Wallace, who followed Judge Berry, was accorded a most cordial reception, as he is highly popular in all circles in Paris and his departure is regretted. ‘Wallace Upholds League. In his speech he said: “I shall never give up my faith that the league of nations was born to live and the hope that America will join it in due season—supposing it active and efficient in exercising its power for good. There will still be much nved for the individual support which France, America and Great Britain are hest able to give it. That support must rest upon a purpose in which national ambitions shall be willing to forego something in the interest of the common weal. It is not enough that the great states of the world shall eet an example to the small ones and point the way which leads to good government and prosperity to all. For A time at least they must be willing to take their feebler brothers by the hand and help them to the proper en- joyment of the new birth of freedom . which came with the end of the great sermany must pay. And she must pay in full. The treaty of Versailles was framed not to be broken or «vaded, but to be enforced. No great treaty in history received more anx- ious or careful consideration through weary months. A great President of the United States came to the confer- ence with the single ambition to do justice to all. He asked for nothing for America, but he sought a lasting peace in Europe, and his colleagues of France and England saw and felt as he did. They tried to make a peace that would end war. Heavenly wis- dom has not yet descended upon the earth and the wisest statesmen have never been and never will be infalli- ble. The treaty of Versallles doubt- less contains mistakes, which time will show, but one mistake that was not made was undue severity to Ger- many. Marskal Foch Cheered. Marshal Foch was loudly cheered as he toasted the American Army as old comrades and_told of their share In the victory. Marshal Joffre, in his familiar uniform recalling the first days of the war, was induced to speak a few words of affectionate regard for the American soldiers. The minister of commerce dwelt par- ticularly on economic relations, declaring that close association of the two coun- tries would be a predominating factor in surmounting the economic crisis. A letter from Myron T. Herrick, the new ai or to France, regretted his fnability to attend, owing to the fact that his departure from the United States had been delayed. Mr. Herrick paid high tribute to Ambassador Wallace and Mrs. ‘Wallace as well as to the chamber of commerce as a patriotic organization. He concluded : Sees Light Ahead. “The clouds which for so long have darkened the world are passing and there is light ahead.

S. FLAGS IN BERLIN. Germans Expectantly Await Out- come of U. S. Peace Move. By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, July 4.—American flags flew over Berlin today for the first time since the American declaration of war, but the American mission and the German foréign office have not yet been formally notified that Congress has concluded peace. The newspapers, in the absence of the text of the peace resolution, confine their comment to the hope that “there will be a speedy resumption of peace time commercial relations.” German officlal circles are awaiting the text and developments. Meanwhile opinion in the German foreign office is unofficially summed up as follows: “An intolerable situation is ended, but we do not know what to expect or what the peace conditions will be —whether the United States will sub- scribe to the Versailles treaty in toto, or at all. We are awaiting to be offi- cially apprised of the terms of the compromise resolution and what the nesxl mov? “l;“l be. ome of the newspapers expre; the hope that the Unied States wii immediately take a hand in having the penalties lifted and the Upper Silesian question declded. Others view the sit- uation as “a formal state of peace, still without meaning."

Summerlin, the American charge, gave here this afternoon as part of the Independence day celebration was not attended by any representative of the Mexican government. This was a departure from the custom which has been In vogue for several years past, but in keeping with the prece- dent set last week, when Mexican officials remained away from a re- ception given by the Swedish charge. The absence of Mexican representa- tives from these two functions is gen- erally taken as indicating Mexico's desire not to be represented at re- ceptions given by diplomats of coun- tries. which have not recognized the present government.
