The question now seems to be how
many speeches did Ambassador PAGE
make? According to early dispatches
he made "a light. testing, impromptu talk
which was received with bursts of laugh
ter after every sentence. Next the ca
bes told us he made discourse which
he intended to be humorous but which
his heavy witted British audience took
In sober earnest. Finally we are in
formed that his speech WAS quite a
serious effort, intended to convey to his
hearers the attitude OF the American
Government on important issues and

Administration on the Monroe Doctrine.
After all. perhaps II was a truly am
bassadorial uttcrance. Any remarks
that can bear so many different con-
structions have some claim to high
