That he has been with us more than two decades proves how acceptable he has been to both countries, and how remarkable his qualities for the service. Few Amer- icans are better known In Americ than our dear Ambassador. As his- torlan, as writer, as Shakespearian scholar, as a student of government, as an eeconomist, as a Statesman, this many-sided man has come into close touch with our most varied activities. Has Prompted Friendship. ‘Peace between two nations is to be secured by making one people truly understand the other. Continuous conferences makes much for inter- national amity. One who wins the confidence of two nations by inti- mate acquaintance with both, with their ambitions, with their taste: with their prejudices, with their v tues, with thelr weaknesses, has achieved an opportunity to stifle en- mities and smooth out irritation. No higher function can be exerclsed. Mr. Jusserand has had thls opportunity in an eminent degree, and has used it most ably. “To those of us who have had the good fortune to know well and enjoy the Ambassador and Mme. Jusserand, thelr departure is a grief. We have come to cherish them as warm and intimate friends, neighbors, full of interest in and sympathy with one another’s Qaily welfare. Their going will leave a great vold here in this Capltal, the growth and beatuy of which they have welcomed as if it were thelr own. Carry Love With Him. “They now return to their glorious country, carrying with them a restro- spect of grateful appreciation and love. We fondly indulge the hope of visits from them fin the future. May they come frequently and be assured that they will find our admiration for them, our appreciation of them, and our love for them undimned by time.” Although all of the addresses were directed toward paying tribute to M. Jusserand, the land that sent him to America was honored with him. This was especfally true in_ the address of Associate Justice Sanford, who declared, “Of the golden names on the pages of history none gleams those fundamental, with brighter radlance than that of France, the brave and beautiful. “To us in America this name is that of a friend, of long adoption tried, grappled to our souls with hoops of steel; a name that tells of enduring friendship, true and steadfast, tested in the crucible of the centurifes. It is the name of our first friend and ally, the France of Lafayette and Récham= beau. Called Great Tribute. ‘““This,” said Speaker Gillett, "is a remarkable gathering—remarkable in numbers and remarkable in distino- tlon—and I hope that our guest of the evening and his charming wife, in affection for whom he has no monopoly, are not too modest to ap- preciate what an extraordinary tribute of esteem and regard for them this gathering is. Governments, unlike | individuals, are supposed to have no | s | clal attachments for other natlons. affections. It s not within "their province to cultivate or express spe- “As a member of Congress, I sub- scribe to this philosophy, and agree that our relations and dealings with other nations should be determined by policy and justice, and not by emotion. But while governments may be restrained by the nature of their organization from admitting- the in- fluence of sentiment, the people of the United States for 150 years have felt and displayed a deep and Sincere affection for France. That affection exists warmly today, and as the Ambassador of that friendly nation we are glad to do you honor. Praise for Jusserand. “Mr. Ambassador, I do not think that since those wonderful days of 1824 any citizen of France, or any other forelgn country, has so signally endeared himself to the people of the United States as have you. You have entered into our pleasures, you have sympathized with our sorrow, you have participated in public exer- cises of every kind and variety, and always have you shown a knowledge of our problems and viewpoint, a delicate appreclation of our condi- tions, and & thoughtful and interest- ing and learned exposition of the themes you have discussed which have deeply impressed us with your understanding and your sympathetic interest. “In this way you have established & widespread fame and popularity and have drawn the American people into a closer feeling of friendship and cordiality, not only to yourself, but to your country. Here in Washing- ton we have grown to love you. Your 21 years of service have not only made you dean of the diplomatic corps, but have established you as think we may nomu’p first in our acqualntance and iatimacy Scene at the dinner given Iast night at the New Willard in honor of Ambaxsador Jusserand. Lejeune, Mrs. Edward T. Gilbert H. Growvenor. and affection. To win such a place and influence is, T believe, the highest triumph of a diplomat today. “Today a diplomat's duty, as a rule, frankly to state the attitude and wishes of his country, and his great- st usofulness is to be able to report ome accurately and faithfully the condltions in the country to which he s accredited. To do this, requires a ound knowledge of public opinfon ind intimacy with the most important tatesmen. I do not see how anyone could be better equipped for that task than our distinguished guest. His long residence here and his ex- traordinary alertness have given him anusual insight into American opin- ion, while his popularity in Washing- ton with prominent men has been unsurpassed “A hundred vears ago. the poem to Lafayette ended with this couplet: ‘‘We bend not the neck, and we bend not the knee, ‘But our hearts, render to thee.’ “You, sir, carry back with you to the same country the same conquest.” Lafayette, we sur- Letter From President. Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the National Geographic Society, read the letters and messages from President Coolidge, Chlef Justice Taft and Sec- retary of State Hughes, all of whom ald high tribute to M. and Mme, Jus- serand. The President's message con- sisted of a letter addressed to Mr. ®rosvenor, which follows “My Dear Mr. Grosvenor: I am very glad that you and those associnted with.you are tendering to Ambassa- dor Jusserand a well deserved tribute on the eve of his departure. It is more than an expression of apprecia- tion of one who has served his coun- ery well over a long perfod of years. It is rather a regretful farewell to an old and valued companion whom the people of the United States, espe- clally those closely associated with him here, have come to know as a delightful friend and an honorable and upright man. I am very glad to have this opportunity of expressing in this way my own sympathy with the objects of vour gathering.” Tribute of Hughes, Secretary Hughes, who expressed deep regret that absence from Wash- ington prevented him from being present at the dinner, eulogized M. Jusserand’s attainments in the flelds of history and literature, as well as his “brilliant service as a diplomat- ist.” Continuing, the Secretary of State wrote: “He has been allke interpreter of France and America. As he said, the importance of understanding a na- tion has increased rather than dimin- ished with new facilities of Inter- course. He has realized the ideal he has described when he tells us that ‘the ambassador myst study the coun- try where he is, and do 8o personally —see people of all ranks, talk with them, understand the trend of opinion and discover the various forces at play. No ambassador can establish these intlmate relations without re- vealing himself. “Tonight we are honoring not stmply a mission or an achievement, or merely taking advantage of occasion to renew the expression of our historic friendship for his country. We acclaim M. Jus- serand not enly becawee of what he has done or has obtained, but because of what he Is—Jusserand the man, loyal, devoted, sincere; the representative of the grace, the wit and the culture of France, the friend of Amerfca, broad- visioned, radiating good will. Pledges Ablding Esteem. “To_him, and to Mme. Jusserand, whose charm and distinction have won for' her a unique place among us, we give our assurance of an abiding esteem and affection.” Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecti- cut, delivering his first public address since being seated in the upper house of Congress, called attention to the fact that Ambassador Jusserand's literary attainments had resuited in 15 of Amer- ica’s Eastern universities making him an honorary alumnus, each of which was represented last night at the dinner. “The opinion in which he s held BY all of them,” continued the speak- en, ‘“was very well summed up by Prof. Phelps at the time he presented Ambassador Jusserand to the presi- dent and fellows of Yale University for the honorary degree of LL. D. Dr. Phelps said that the Ambassador's work as a scholar ‘represented that ideal now so eagerly sought In our advanced university studles in lit- erature—a union of honest, scrupu- Jous, original research with ecritical insight, human sympathy and grace of style’ It is, indeed, rare to find such versatility, even among those who devote themselves entirely to literature. Remarkable Attainment Cited. “One of the most remarkable things about Ambassador Jusserand is the fact that although he entered the diplomatic service of his country im- mediately after completing his uni- versity education, and has been con- tinuously employed by the French foreign office for nearly 50 years, he should have been able to become a first-class productive scholar. For the past 22 years France has had the benefit in Washington of the services of a highly trained diplomat who was able to win the friendship of every American acquaintance, Who was able to become persona gratis- sima to President Roosevelt at the very beginning of his ambassadorship and who was, in addition, able to command the respect and admiration of our leaders of thought in the academic world. “The most distingulshed living Yale alumnus, who was President of the United States and is now Chlef Jus- tice of our Supreme Court, once said that Ambassador Jusserand had be- come “as much a part of Washing- ton life as the Capitol or the Wash- ington Monument.' Surely no higher tribute was ever paid to an ambassa- dor in a foreign capital. It shows the extent to which it is possible for a trained diplomat to enter into the life of the nation to which he is sent. I mention this particularly, because when one peruses the long list of books and articles which are cata- logued under the name of Jean Jule Jusserand, many of which are written in a language which was not native to_him, one might wonder how much time he had left for his chosen pro- fession.

Few British his- torians have depicted the growth of English literature from its earliest origins to modern times with ns care- ful fidelity to fact and as sympa- thetic a touch as he has. Few English-speaking people are as fa- miliar as he with the beginnings of the English novel and the earliest story writers to use our language. Even the literary critics of England, who have not always welcomed for- eign writers, have spoken of his work with enthuslasm. In the fleld of his- tory the ambassador's work has been 80 fully recognized that he was not long ago elected president of the American Historical Association, an honor of which he once said that none had ever given him ‘more pleasure with less trouble.’” The complete list of those who at- tended the dinner follows: Dr. C.
