LEVIATHAN TOGET BRITISH WELCOME, Docking of Biggest U. S. Ship at Southampton !o Be Notable Event. BY FREDERICK WILLIAM WILE. .Great preparations are afoot both here and in Great Britain for a festive welcome for the Leviathan, when America’s new queen of the seas arrives at Southampton on July 10, If present plans are carrled out, it will become the occasion for a 1iomentous Anglo-American love- feast. The British government and Brit ish shipping authorities are 'Mkely to collaborate in converting (the event into something memcrable in the annals of maritime history. The United States is entering heartily into the spirit of the affair. Details “re bing discussed between Ambas- sador Harvey, now a guest at the White House, and_Albert D. Lasker, chairman of the Urited States Ship- ring Board. Mr. Lasker will be out ¢f office by the time the Leviathan 1iYts anchor at New York on July 4, tut he is making her malden vovage as an honored guest of his Shipjing Board colleagues. Mellon to Make Trip. A distinguished company, vepre- senting the principal branches of the American government, will cross the Atlantic aboard the Leviathan. Ambassador Harvey is making all his plans to do so, even if it cuts his vacation in the s. Ardrew W. Mellon, | of the Treasury, hopes to go, as.the representative of President Harding's cgblnet. Senator Reed Smoot of 1 the envoy of the Senate, and from the House of Representatives there will be Frederick H. Gillett, the Speaker, and Nicholas Longworth, representative from Ohio. Mrs. Long- worth, well known in Great Britain as “Princess Alice,” alsc will be & member of the official party. As merchant marine rivalry is cons sidered by the best informed author- ities in both countries as the issue most likely in future to produce an Anglo-American bon. of contentlon, | the has been seized upon as a see oecasion for some plain speaking tween friends. Room Seen for All. The note that will be emphasized in the forthcoming festivities in Great Britain—certainly by American howill be nly be- spokesmen—Is that there’s plenty of | room on British the high seas for both a and an American merchant marine. Another note will be struck, namely, that instead of destructive competition, ways and means ought to Le devised for intensive co-opera- tion Americ feet in S July, will cards plainly on the tauvie. inele will be no attempt to conceal Uncle Sam's aspiration and determination to be a factor in the world's carrying trade. Two_different celebrations for the Leviathan are projected. One will be at Southampton, with America as 01 hen the great shipping mag- nates of the Cunard, White Star, Ley- land, Peninsular & Oriental, Royal Mail and other leading British nava- gation companies, will b= entertained at lunch or dinner aboard onr big boat. That party probably will take place on July 11th. Premier May Spenk.

At the Pilgrims’ function it I8 altogether likel- ‘that the new British prime minister, Stanley Baldwin, will speak and make his ffrst public pronounce- ment. with regard to the United States. It is expected that Mr. Lasker on the same occasion will outline America’s merchant marine hopes and ambitions. = The Leviathan will be no stranger in Southampton water. Soon after she | shed her identity as the Hamburg- American liner Vaterland, she became a familiar figure at the famous Brit- ish port as an American army trans- port.

They think they can hold their own. They say their longer experience in the "ins” and outs of the shipping xame makes them invulnerable even o our intensive competition. Some da: point out, Americans have weathered the costly experiences the British have had dur- ing many generations of shipping trade all over the globe, we may_be able to give them a hard run. But John Bull feels there is no immedi- ate cause to worry. Doubtless ex- pressions more or less to this effect will fall from the lips of British spokesmen during the impending Leviathan hospitalities. AMUSEMENTS| (Continued from Twenty-fourth Page.)
