GOES TO NEW YORK
TO ATTEND BANQUET
Earl of Kintmore Will Be the
Honor Guest of American
Committee

George F. Watt, president OF the
Elliott-Fisher Company, recently elect
ed as Pennsylvania representative TO
| the Anglo American Exposition, to be
! held in London from May to october,
| has gone to New York to attend the
banquet given at the Plaza Hotel to
the Earl of Kintore.
The event Is arranged by the Ameri-
can committee to celebrate the CEN
tennial of the Client Treaty, asso-
ciated with the British committee of
| the same organization and the Anglo
American Exposition committee of
New York and London. Albert Shaw
is chairman of the dinner committee
and Job Z. Hedges will be the toast
master. ....-
Lord Kintore arrived on the White
Star liner Baltic yesterday from Eng
land and said to a reporter OF the
Telegraph: II do not believe that you
in America quite realize the strength
of the good will toward you which
| animates the British people on the
unique occasion of the Anglo o-Ameri-
can Exposition. which is the child OF
the American Society in London and
was conceived as an international
celebration of the 100 years peace
between England and America. / am
| convinced that few events of the past
years have stirred the imagination of
the British people to the extent that
the forthcoming exposition has done.
in the preparations for the ex-
position full account was taken of the
extreme Importance of commerce as a
factor in promoting international
peace. Abundant proof has been given
since the Treaty of Client of the car
dinal fact that international peace is
the natural effect of trade. Rich and
manifold as are the blessings which
have occurred to mankind from the
100 years of unbroken peace. in no
direction are they more apparent than
in the great discoveries and inven-
tions effecting trade and commerce.
International friendships are never so
durable as when rooted in reciprocal
trade, and the trend of political events
in the United States seems to promise
an exceptional opportunity to manu-
facturers in this respect"
