NEW AMBASSADOR - GUEST OF PILGRIMS Society Gives Dinner in London- MacDonald Speaks of Wilson London, Feb. 2.——Several hundred members of the Pilgrims’ society last night gave a hearty welcome to Frank B. Kellogg, the new United States am- hassador to the Court of St. James, and Sir Esme Howard, who is to suc- ceed Bir Auckland Geddes, as British ambassador in Washington, The occa- sion was a banquet which was fea- tured by the presence of the Prince of Wales, Ramsay Macdonald, the British printe minister, and the X¥rench, Belgian, Japanese and Italian ambassadors. But throughout the festive cere- monies there was apparent a peculiar note of sadness over the news that Woodrow Wilson probably was at death’s door. Mr. Macdonald voiced the feeling of the great gathering of distinguished Britons and Americans, as well as the sentiment of all Eng- land, when, referring to Mr. Wilson, he said: ‘Macdonald Speaks of Wilson “This is a moment when partizan- ship and party alleglance sink into iusignificance, The whole Euglish na- tion tonight is standing with held Lreath waiting for further word of this great American. Our party dif- terences flare up like a great heacon and die down iike the flames of a #reat beacon, for what is great and inspiring in the actions of public men belongs not to parties, not to nations, It to the whole of humanity,” Mr. Kellogg sat hetween the Prince of Wales and Lord Desborough, who presided. The prinee divided his time hetween Mr. Macdonald with them between courses, Premier Toasts Kellogg Mr. Macdonald proposed the health of Mr, Kellogg and introduced him as | belonging to that category of ambas- sudors who always give joy to a for- cign minister because they have nothing whatever to say to him. The premier declared that the relations and Mr. | Kellogg, chatting in animated fashion | Letween Great Britain and the United States never were better than at present; and he prayed to God that they would long = continue in that happy condition, The premier drew a burst of ap- plause when he said the natiops of the world had not yet discovered how to be neighbors, but that the dnited States and Great Britain had gone far In that direction. Prepared to Stand Side by Side “America and Great Britain,” ex- claimed the premier, “want no alli- ance. We want no documents; we are in the position of two peoples who in spirit, by reason of those great moral and spiritual forces which are demeaned and narrowed by being written on paper, are. prepared to stand side by side, not in political alliance but in human fellowship to help each other.” ’ A moment slater Mr. Macdonald evoked laughter by quoting Sir Henry Wotton, former ambassador to Italy, as saying “an ambassador is an hon- est man who is sent'abroad to lie for the good of his country.” The premier declared the people of the United States and Great Britain always would put divine ends in front of material and narrow-minded ad- vantage; and he referred to Mr. Kel- logg as a cousin who belonged to the English family. Mr. Kellogg spoke about 40 minutes reading from a typewritten manu- script. He laid stress on the need of arbitration as a means for settling disputes between nations and the futil- ity of maintaining peace in Europe by the arbitrament of armies. The ambassador’s speech was frequently punctuated by applause. Mr. Kellogg was followed by Sir Fsme Howard, who said he hoped to follow in the footsteps of his old chief, Ambassador Bryce, who he referred to as the great master-builder of Anglo- American good-will. Messages of greeting from King George and from Chauncey M. Depew were read during the banguet. Kellogg's Address “It is my judgment,” Ambassador Kellogg said during his address, “that one of the greatest services the United States and the British Empire can perform is to set an example of fair, broadminded statesmanship in inter- national dealings, to wmaintain the sacredness and inviolability of our treaties, and to deal with all nations large and small in a spirit of fairness and tolerance,” Proceeding, he said he would not i ! NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1924, discuss the adhesion of the United States ;to the world court, as @his is- sue was pending before the senate, but he added; “It is my opinion that the necessity for the senate to ratify treaties by a two-thirds majority is a wise provision, because thereby the people have a voiee in making the treaties affecting their welfare.” The ambassador declared he per- sonally favored codification of inter- national law, decision of justiciable questions arising between nations by arbitration or by some international court of justice, and limitation of naval armament and land forces. Al- luding to the work of the Pan- American conference for the study and codification of public and private international law, he said: “I believe this will be accomplished. It will be an example to the whole world and will be & foundation for the establish- ment of settled principles for the government of nations.” GIRL SCOUT NEWS following - council members | were present at the luncheon and | meeting of the New Britaln Girl Scout “ council held this week: The Miss Florence An-| drews, Mrs..

Gentlemen: Do you agree with him? December 19, 1923. Has the thought he ex- J You have published many advertisements about your obligations to me as a de- positor. I think it is time for one of your customers to write an advertisement about his obligations to you, his bank. As I see it, I owe you three things—and money (at the moment, thank the Lord) is not one of them. 1-I owe it to you, as well as to myself, to maintain a good business reputation. To you because I expect you to demand this of your other depositors. If I have busi- ness dealings with a customer of the Equitable I assume that because he is an Equit- able customer, he pays his bills, has regard to the sanctity of a contract, and is other- wise dependable. I cannot expect you to uphold this standard on the part of others, un- less I do my personal share in upholding it. 2-I owe it to you to maintain a balance on which you can make a profit. I ex- pect you to maintain convenient offices, which means high rents, high taxes and other expenses. [call on you for a vafety of services, many of which were never thought of as a part of banking ten years ago. You cannot meet these expenses and render these services unless you are making money. If you make no money on me, then I am riding on the back of your other depositors. I don’t want others riding on my back. I expect, therefare, not to ride, but to walk and to carry my share of your load. 3—1I owe you an obligation to accept your decision cheerfully, if you sometime say “No.” don’t want my money in your bank. If you haven’t the courage to say “No” many times a day, and stick to it, I I expect you to say “No” when you are invited to make speculative investments—because part of the money you invest is my money. I expect you to say “No” when you are asked to make questionable loans, or to pay too high a rate of interest, or to lend at too low a rate. I want all the interest I can get; and all the accommodation I can get. But first of all I want to be dead sure that what money I have with you is absolutely safe. can’t be safe unless you are conservative. It ) And any man or institution that is conser- vative must necessarily say “No” every day. If ever you say it to me, therefore, I owe it to you to believe that you are saying it because it is in the best interests of all your depositors of whom I am one. Yours very truly, This is a straight from the shoulder letter. We believe the spirit of fair-dealing which it represents is eminently char- acteristic of the customers of this bank. We are proud of this spirit and grateful for it. New Britain Trust Co. Cor.
