The simple and sincere esteem are classical their form, and in their spirit true record of the sentiment of two great nations. The head of free monarchy has shown the President that he under stands the language of liberty and democracy. High courtesy and dignity appear in the speech of the President of the free republic. Both reveal the as- prations of kindred peoples united in the highest aims that are possible great nations in great and high mood, at solemn yet suspicious crisis in the history of the world.
