With the American Society, Thanks

Is such a pleasant one tLa5 I esteem
myself rortusaae to 6e able to accept
the Invitation so k,rc:y extended by
our distinguished ambassador, Hon
Whitelaw R-i5, 20 bs your guest on this
occasion. ON Eogi.Sn flieaGs, unoer
whose flag Ws nest tonight, recalling
that this Is the anniversary Ct cur na-
tion's birth, would doubtless pardon
Us II cur rsjv1ci1g ccEta!neo some
thing Of sel1-cl lg1stuattCn, for IL is
at such times Is this that We are
want to o1evsewlhose national achieve
ments which Lave given to tie
United States its prominence among
the nation.
But I hope I shall not be thought
lacking in patriotic spirit II instead
OF drawing q picture CT the past,
bright with heroic DEEDS and IN
parallelled in progress, l sunnon you
rather to a serious consideration OF
the responsibility resting upon those
nations which sspi1e to premiership.
This line Of thought is suggested by
sense Of propr:esy as well as by re-
cent experiences-by a sense OF pro
priety because such e subjscG will in
teresu the BIiton as veil IS the
American, and by recert experiences
because they bsve impressed me not
less with our national duty tEan with
the superiority ct Western over East
ern civilization.
Asking your attention TO such a
theme 1t is not uniting to adopt q
phrase coined by a poet to whom
America as well IS England can lay
some claim, AID 5sse ior my text
"The White Mans Burden"
"Take up the White Mans Burden,
In paLlcrce to abide.
To veil the threat OF terror
And check the show OF price.
By open speech and simple,
An huuureG times MADE pam,
To seek another'S pro1t,
And work anOther'S gain.

it partly explains why the Republican
