Statement From Lord Weardale.
Lord weardale. head of the British dele
CATION. made the following statement re-
gardins the conference:
TT is not always easy to bring into
exact conformity varying views upon
cohesive plan which Is likely to attract
the support of all we'll wishers of Brit
ish-American friendship on both sides of
the Atlantic.
so far as the British committee is
concerned. il is already pledged TO the
amptonshire. the ancestral home of the
Washington family, which ii is believed will
be gratifying to American public opinion
and for all time establish. free from in
jury. place which Will naturally be
garded by American visitors to England
as possessed of particular interest to
them. and will. indeed. be visited by
large numbers OF English people who ad
rnire as all fair-minded men do. the IL
lustrious career of George Washington.
This will constitute the main feature
OF the permanent record In Great Brit
ain. and IT is hoped that 1t may be
rendered mo~e attractive by the con-
tribution from friends in America of
Washington relics and by suitable
furniture. so as to make IL in all re-
spects a fitting memorial
Tablet in Westminster Abbey.
Apart from this. there will be prob
ably tablet with suitable medallions
IN Westminster Abbey and further me-
mortal tablets in other parts Of Great
Britain. and probably some national
memorial, the foundation stone of
which, in common with other national
memorials in America Canada. Aus
:ralta and elsewhere. will be laid ST.
simultaneously. il Is hoped. by the king.
the President and his majestys rep
Fesentatives abroad.
The establishment of interchangeable
professorships of American history and
travelling Scholarships Is also intended:
nut the whole program will shortly be
made public. and IL Is not necessary that
] should further dwell upon it's details
except 10 again emphasize the pleasure
with which We are able TO record that
complete understanding has been estab-
Hshed between all parties concerned"
Sir Edmund Walkers Views.
Sir Edmund Walker said:
different parts in the British empire con-
scfous of our enthusiasm, but not
knowing how much enthusiasm, existed
elsewhere and not knowing how far the
leading people. for instance. i'm New York
and In the United States We're interested
IN this movement. II Is easy for en-
'husiasts To- start things of this kind. and
nothing Is more surprising than the char
acter OF the men who are interested in
II and the nature of their interest.
II believe That resulting from this IL
the government OF the United States
gives its expressed COMMUNICATION 10 the
movement the same thing will happen
In England and in Canada. and that the
hing Will he a success on IL big and
dignihed sccle. because. of course, il is
no unless il is a success"
