NOTABLE GATHERING AT INDEPENDENCE DAY DINNER London, Jitly 4 (By the A P.).—Dip- lomatic “representatives of more than thirty foreign governments were gudsts tonight at the annual Independence day dinner of the American Society of Lon- don. Ambassador Harvey was the guest of honor. Lord Lee of Fareham, first lord of the | admiralty, toasting the guest, referred to Mr. Harvey as “a foreisn envoy to whom the muzzle of diplomacy had not been obtrusivi Referring, in his reply, to the revolt of the American colonies, the ambassador declared: Whether the territory comprising the United States could have been retained is wholly speculative.” Ambassador Harvey declared that the mutual helpfulness which all desired could not be realized until two grave mi apprehensions had been removed, one of which' pervaded Europe respecting the Urited States and the ‘other permeated the ‘Urited States as-to Europe. “I find in Europe,” he said, “the com- mon impression that the United States alone, among ‘the nations of the world, is today a land of milk and honey whose people ot only ars universally prosper- ous, though recalcitrantly discontented, but are rich - beyond the traditionai dreams of avarice. Tou have only to supplement the fancy with a suspicion which I find not wholly lacking that all this opulence and this happiness are di- Tect results of the great war to account for the wholly natural sense of resent- ment.. “What are the facts? Did the United States really profit from the war to such a degree as to make the lives she sacri- ficed seem to the cynical and sordid mind relatively insignificant?” Ambassador Harvey. proceeded to cite the tremendously increased national debt, the congressional appropriations for 1923 and “the heavy income taxation. = He added: . n dollars, the cost to America of Her participation in the war, when finally computed, will fall not s very far short of the entire indemmity upon Gérmany. 1 make no comparisons. There has been too much of that already. Surely no good can come now, when we all are striving ‘to get together in-common pur- pose for the common weal, from disput- ing.over the relative sizes of the contri- butions to the greal cause. “The two men swirling down the Niag- ara river did not profit by dropping their paddies to quarrel over the distance to the falls—they succeeded only in making their fate certain. Let us in a pesition hardly less verilous not emulate their idiotic example. Nothing could be further from my thought or more repellant to the instinct of any American than to measure money against men,” he went on. “My sole pur- pose is to win fair consideration from any who may have overlooked the fact that the United States, along with Eu- dens to bear for scores of years, in ad- dition to her grief at the incalculably greater loss of those who prrished in the service of - their country. #The second misapprehensiun to which I referred is that of my own countrymen Who have been led to doubt that the peoples of Eurone have been doing the utmost for themselves before seeking help. I have to confess that before I left home I held somewhat to that surmis: myself. I do so no longer. During the past two months I have been privileged to talk freely and frankly with repre- sentatives, official and unofficial, of every stricken state in Europe, and I have not heard one complaining word nor received a single request for benefaction. It is not charity, but opportunity, they crave, and all that they seek.” “Gladly I pay the highest trfbute to the courage and pride .of these sorely smitten peoples as voiced by their pick- ed men, who speak for them in this most important capital and who have honored us tonight. . Already the better under- standing between Great Britain and the United States has achieved one far- reaching result of inestimable value to the entire world. For the first time in history the turbulent Atlantic has be- come as a millpond and has practically been. eliminated from considerations of danger so far as naval warfare is con- cerned. There is ground for good hope, moreover, that whatever apprehensions exist of pertlous possibilities on the Pa- cific may“be dispelled sooner than is commonly anticipated. “When, if at all, that splendid con- summation shall have been attained in response to the apparently universal de- sire, disarmament wil follow naturaly and inevitably, and peacs on earth will be assured for years at least, and, it may be, forever.” SIX YEAR OLD BOY DROWNS TRYING TO SAVE FATHER Sunbury, Ont., July 4—Six year old ‘Bobbie- Brown died in 2 vain effort to save his father, Robert S.
