In welcoming the ambassador the
mayor said he was proud to be mayor

such distinguished guest, accredited
as ambassador from the great country
OF America. He also spoke of the cor
dial relations between the two coun-
tries. The president of the Southamp-
ton chamber of commerce also spoke.
Mr.. Choate replied in short speech
of thanks, saying in part:
The ports of New York and South
ampton are now closely united by the
great steamships plying between them.
This mutual commerce interchange and
travel will do more to strengthen the
ties which already unite the two coun-
tries than anything else can do If
the men and women of your country
could visit my country as freely as ours
do yours, the good understanding which
now exists would never fail

canoe for Americans, as it was the
point of departure of the Mayflower on
the historic voyage which was to end
in planting a new nation. 1t proved to
be the first great departure of the
English races from their island home

subdued and replenished. The God in
whom they trusted prospered the good
work. They carried with them the
English Bible, the common law, the
idea of representative government and
