BRYCE PRESENTS CREDENTIALS
And Exchanges Cordial Greetings With
the President.


james Bryce, the ambassador from
Great Britain to the United States, was
presented to the President this after
noon by Secretary Root. The presenta-
ton took place in the Blue room and
the usual Fluctuations were exchanged.
Upon being presented, Mr.. Bryce spoke
in part as follows:
"Mr. President: I have the honor, by
command of the King. my august SOW
ereign, to deliver to you a letter ac-
crediting me as his ambassador to the
United States Of America.
"When he entrusted to me this high
mission His Majesty directed me to as
sure you of his earnest wish that the
cordial relations which happily exist
between Great Britain and the United
States should be maintained and
strengthened, and has imposed upon
me the duty of doing whatever may be
in my power for the attainment of this
end.
1T has been my good fortune to have
been frequently in this country as a
private traveller and student of its in
situations, to have been received in it
with unfailing kindness and to have
learned not only to admire the untiring
energy and the intellectual ardour of its
inha bitants, but also to appreciate theU
devotion to the cause of moral and so
cial progress and their passionate de-
sire to make the lives Of the people
worthy of the material blessings which
Providence has bestowed upon them
with so bountiful a hand. Observing
how much they have in common with
~ y~rx
similar are many Of the problems
which lie before each for solution. 1
am led to believe that each Is, and in
deed must be Intimately interested in
the fortunes of the other and that their
good will be for the true benefit Of
both, and indeed, for the benefits Of
the world at large.
'I may perhaps be permitted to add
that, in expressing my sincere respect
for you personally, am expressing the
sentiments of my sovereign and of his
subjects generally"
The President in his response said In
part:
you come Gmong US. Mr.. Ambassa-
cor. not as stranger, but as one whom
our people know and esteem through
long previous acquaintance with your
labors as a student Of the high desti-
MES ot self-governed communities and
as a friend Of moral and social advance
mcnt in the paths trodden by your
country and by our own. The aims of
the Anglo-Saxon race, wherever estab-
lished throughout the world, are akin
in the furtherance of the great princi-
pIe of representative government and
Of the community of material interest
whereby the most complete stability,
individual development and national
prosperity may be achieved. In coming
among us you but transfer your life
work to new fields of practical opportu-
mites like those for which you have Ia
bored earnestly and honorably through
a useful lifetime, and 1 trust the con-
tinuance of your efforts in the mission
to which you are called will be as con-
genial to you as they are acceptable to
me-

his name will appear. instead of mine
