Niscount Reading, about TO retire as

Interpretation of the Balfour declara-
ton with regard to the reconauered

Cnrestrained Applause.
This solution of the yexed nroblou
OF Zionism. made a practical one since
the British capture of Jerusalem and Mr..
balfours statement thereon met with
uhrestrained applause from the audience
OF distinguished Jews, both Zionists and
hoh-Zionlsts: who make up the society
that welcomed and bade farewell to the
Ambassador. Samson LaChman. pres
ident OF the Judeans, gave a broad
invitation TO the Earl OF Reading TO
open his diplomatic portfolio" and tell
the society what he thought were the
prospects Of the appeal of Messrs. Mar
shall. Mack. Morgenthau and straus
at the Paris conference in behalf OF n
declaration for religious and racial
Inls invitation. however the Am
eassador declined to accept He re-
minded his hearers that he was still
the Ambassador from Great Britain TO
the United States and that he could
not diVest himself of his official ca
pacity even among his brethren. He
dld predict though that the result OF the
Paris conference would be satisfying to
all men Of high ideals.
America as well as England he
said. perhaps even more than England
because she was removed from the ac-
tual seat OF the conflict, fought this
war Tor an ideal. Whatever the results
OF their union now In the work of peace
IL must be that wherever the two Pow
ers reach or wherever they can bring
influence to bear there will be civil and
liberty.

Decisions nj Paris.

The decisions at Paris must he com
celved In justice and based on liberty
Our men, your men and my men at that
conference, the ones YOU and I know
can only work for liberty and Justice
The war was waged for civil liberty. for
great and immutable principles and II
has achieved most of them. II has con-
quered military despOtism and at this
moment II Is engaged in the vindication
or International law. 1t will be true to
itself IN adherinG 20 the ideal for which
you fought. the ideal that YOU wanted
to bring the liberty and Justice under
which you lived to all the world and thus
make the world a better place to live in"
Viscount Reading told OF the pride
which filled him when at the beginning
OF the war he saw the British Jews
racing TO see which would be the first
to serve under the Union Jack" II
showed he said. that wherever the Jew
is treated as he is treated I'm England
and America he will be found imbued
with patriotism and love Of country
beyond reproach. Speaking of the
present Anglo-American relations he
said
However others may strive to en-
oroil us. through those who for their
own reasons have their fling at the
British lion. am carrying back with
me the conviction that you and we, the
English speaking peoples of the world
are closer together than ever before
because We have fought together and
bled together fought for that which IS
a heritage of British origin. but which
has so nightly hourished here in the
free winds that blow from coast to
coast and which has been ever cher
ished in our own sea grit ises-civil
liberty.
Let us hope, and | believe the hone
VIII be fulfilled, that the Paris confer
ence will bring us a peace that will pre-
vent wars, il not forever, at least for a
very long time to come"

OLD GUARD HONORS DEAD
Admiral Sigsbee and Major
Snyder Among Speakers at
Annual Dinner.

The League of Nations was a target
Tor laughter at the annual dinner of the
Old Guard Veteran Battalion held last
night at the Hotel Commodore.
As Brig. Gen. Bird w. Spencer of New
Jersey put it: IF MOSQUITO were
biting you. you would not want to wait
Tor a league to discuss the matter. You
would naturally want to swat It once
without waiting for counsel or advice"
So he said, 'if one OF those interna-
tional mosquitoes. such as Bulgaria or
Turkey. were to start trouble we would
want immediate action against It and we
would object to long delays that might
be forced upon us by League of
Nations"
Gen. Spencer attacked the league
throughout most of his brief after din.
ner address, 1T would seem that the
plan is to take us all into this league
bodily he said. THE league would
then regulate you. 1t would regulate me-
1t would regulate everything else in the
universe. The weak point of the doctrine
is that we can't run the entire world on
brotherly love. That sentiment Is all
right as far as we can apply It, but no
further.
The sun., 1919-04-23

AS TO the question of helping France
in the event of another attack by Ger
many. / am sure we need no league
FOR that purpose. We would fight the
Germans again Just as we have done in
the past should occasion require.
Great Britain. France. the United
States all know their duties to each
other. and will abide by them. They
will act unhesitatingly when the proper
time comes. But II we are bound up in
League OF Nations we will be con-
tronted in every international situation
with 80 many ifs and 'ands that we
will get nowhere at all.
I'VE have been expressing our views
abroad, and after we have had our
say the old Tiger Of France and the
leaders of the other nations will IN
doubtedly convince us that their views
are best"
The old spirit OF gayety characteristics
OF the famous veteran organization was
much in evidence at the dinner The
members wore their full dress uniforms
These were not seen at last years din
ner, for at that time the Germans were
hammering toward Paris, and the Guard
thought it an i'll time for celebration.
