‘HARDING IN CANADA’ PAINTING PRESENTED Coolidge Accepts Gift for American People From British Ambassador. LATE PRESIDENT EXTQLLED Tribute From Vancouver Sun Re- ceived at Press Club. Sir lisme Howard, British ambas- sador, and President Coolidge offi- ciated last night in ceremonies at the National Press Club, where a picture ident Harding in Canada” ted to the newspaper men of America by the Van- couver Sun, on behalf of the Cana- dian people. Amity between the two peoples was symbolized by the picture and ex- sed by the two speakers, Sir lsme Howard presenting and Presi- dent Coolidge accepting the painting. 'or the present it will hang in the National Press Club, later to be re- n ed either to one of the Capitol s galleries or to some public gal- friendliness, not only of himself, but the friendliness which he represented in the capacity of his office for the people of Canada,” he added. “We remember him here in Washington for his many notable accomplish- ments, for the many achievements he bas left behind him which affected our domestic welfare. “But more especially we shall re- member him for his being able to usher in a better understanding be- tween our country and the peoples of other countries, and a better un- derstanding among all the peoples of the earth. That he accomplished in a large degree through the Wash- ington conference, and had he ac- complished nothing else, his name would go_down in history, I believe. as ope of the great benefactors of mankind.” Ambassador Howard, in indorsing the message of Premier King, added that “to us in the other more distant parts of the British empire, whether Great_Britain herself, or Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa, apart from the affection we feel for her and the gratitude toward her for various reasons, Canada seems to have a special mission, & special | destiny—that of bringing closer to- gether the English-speaking peoples scattered over the face of the globe, that of acting, as it were. as a link between ourselves and you, between the rest of the empire and the great American Republic.” Textile Mills Closed.
