 The American ambassador delivered an oratiop. He read an extract from the American constitution and declared that this constitution could not be changed 'by a demagogic propaganda or marred over night by a sudden whlm' He be- leved that the old order of things throughout tho world was passing and that q new epoch in world universality' had arrived.
 ''The general forward movement" said the ambassador, Seems to have broken down the last Chinese wall of national isolation and to have rendered interna- tional unity as well as national unity an absolute necessity for the peace and com fort of tbe human family.
 "The great world changes of today have created some apprehension and some gloom. Some read in them return to monarchy or chaotic socialism rampant. The one in my belief is as far from us as the other. I am confident that We will take no backward step. Neither shall we have the temerlty to undermine the re- public because of some abuses of recent years which we have been unable at once to correct. We shall not enter that im- practicable excess of freedom or license in which the individual would be per- mitted to interfere directly with national concerns and thereby destroy efficiency in the conduct of the governments"
