ceipts and expenditures from the re-
volving fund in March Cash receipts

Critics Are Censured

10 Doubt Motives of Eng
land in World Affairs

here is no anti British propaganda
he United States that can interrupt
friendship and close relationship
the two greatest English speaking
wers of the world.
lhis, IN brief, was the farewell ut
'ance of the Earl of Reading, Lord
ief Justice of England, on the eve
his departure for London after three
RS in the United States as British
ambassador extraordinary and envoy
plenlpotentiary on special mission here
1t was the gst of an address delivered
at banquet given in his honor by the
Bar Association of New York at the
Waldorf last evening.
Five hundred leaders of the. bar
throughout the country, judges, Fed
eral officials and high army officers at
tended the banquet to bid farewell to
the man who holds the highest judicial
position in the world.
Critics Censured
After discussing the close unitv OF
the United States and England throurh-
out the war, Lord Reading said that
he had noticed gradual breaking
away from that close association now
that the tense period Of doubt as to
the outcome of the struggle-the act
ual days OF fighting-had been passed
readiness on the part of some people
to criticize.
"Much OF, that criticism and comment
is by no means ill-natured and. l am
convinced, is not ill-intentioned." ne
SAID. much Of it springs from the
minds OF those whom we know as our
friends. Some of it comes from critics
who are rather impatient with our
methods and think that we should move
much faster.
Il note with much interest that we
are credited by some with astuteness,
with subtlety and a Machavelian in
tellect with which l would have thought
you IN America, knowing something of
our history and our blunders, would
have been the last to lay at our doors.
Ascendency Denied
And | only mention it because !
think that in common honesty I must
say that we are not entitled to the
credit which is given us in this re-
spect. This supposed ascendency and
domination, which we are supposed to
have achieved, should like to believe
could be accomplished by US. But |
know that it could not, and I there
fore cannot accept it.
"But with all that criticism. | am
perfectly assured from my experience
in this country that the feeling of
Americans for Britons is far better
after the war than before we engage
IN 1T. | know that | am told in GER
tain quarters that there is an anti
British propaganda which is making
its way. l am not prepared to accept
the statement. To those who are in
clined to be a little impatient with us

we have difficulties in our own do
mestic affairs, as perhaps you have in
yours.

moment at which government may

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Surren-
dered German submarines now being
brought to the United States by Amer
lean naval crews will be exhibited at
ports on the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf
coasts, the Great Lakes and Chesa-
peake Bay and on the Mississippi and
Hudson rivers. The five submersibles
will arrive at New York late this
month, while the Victory Liberty Loan
campaign is in progress.
The Navy Department announced to-

and that the submersibles then would
proceed on the following itineraries:
U-111, a submarine of the largest
type, to Portland. Portsmouth, Boston,

hibition at Great Lakes ports, and
finally to Great Lakes, Ill.,
After the submarines have been ex-

Special Correspondence
SYRACUSE, April 5.-Tea and coffee
as national beverages in the United
States must go, according to state
ment issued to-day by Professor Fred
erick NJ Roman, Of Syracuse Univer-
sity, leader of the nation wide cam
paign against tobacco.
AS soon as harmless, palatable sub
stitute can be found, said Professor
Roman, the fight TO Danish from Amer
lean shores the products of Java, Cey-
Ion and Brazil viii be renewed vigor-
ously by the forces aligned against the
liquor and tobacco habits, which view
the widespread drinking of tea and
coffee as a dangerous economic prob
lem. Professor Roman regards the
anti tea and coffee campaign as an as
sured movement of the future.
ultimately" said Mr. Roman to-
day, 1--WE will stage anti-tea and coffee
campaigns. Both must go. 1t is not
a laughing matter by any means, as
some seem to think, but a real seri-
Gus economic problem. The only rea-
son no great headWay has been made
in the fight against tea and coffee
is that no substitute has been found
for either. Just as soon as good
palatable hot drink is found the days
of tea and coffee as national bever-
ages are numbered. None of the sub
stitutes so far offered is suitable"
Big business in America is behind
the efforts of the propagandists in
their fight against habit-formne
drinks and drugs, said Professor Ro-
man, and all the financial backing
needed for the anti-tobacco campaign
now in hand has been secured
Professor Roman refused to identify
the business interests backing the
movement, on the ground that the def
mite campaign plans have not yet been
formulated, and at present it would be
unwise to announce the names Of
those giving financial assistance. He
said, however, that the John Wana-
maker Company, Marshall Fields, the
Henry Ford Company and the Ma
tional City Bank of New York are all
interested. | am not saying just what
concerns are backing our movements

justly and fairly during that period.
Cooperation Urged
"And I conlude the observations /
have been making to you with an ex-
preston to you of my deepest graft
tude, to you of the bench and bar who
of me-that is, of my country-this
evening, for all that you and Americans
have done during the war, for all that
| believe we shall accomplish together
in the future, for all that Pm satisfied
can be done, will be done, must be done
by the English-s speaking peoples Of the
world.
Lord Reading joined in the general
contribution of jests concerning the
conflicting reports coming from the
peace conference in France. He told
of the various suggestions that he
found in the newspapers concerning
the probable terms of the world cove
nant, but insisted that he could not
utter definite opinion as to the posi-
Bile worth of these suggestions.
81 am discussing them here rather
to get myself in the habit of weighing
evidence once more than to reach any
decision on the subject" he said.
Root Explains Covenant
Elihu Root, who preceded Lord Read
ing, gave as his Interpretation Of the
purposes of the promised league of
nations these two objects:
"First, to continue garnering the
fruits of the great war and the recon-
struction of Europe and the near East,
necessary to the establishment of
peace, bringing about that virtual al
lance with treaty, but based upon a
common purpose that has been in eX-
istcnce for the two years that just
have passed.
"Second, to continue far into the
future, the civilized nations that love
peace and abhor war, for the purpose
of preserving the peace of the world.
There has been much discussion OF
it here which you have doubtless OBJ
served, but | beg to say to you, my
lord, that it is the earnest hope of the
American people that in due form and
by wise and suitable provision the
country which you represent and our
own may unite for effective and per-
peace of the world for all the centuries
to come.
Closer Ties Urged
"Toward that alliance, for the en-
thronement Of public right to control
the world, | believe the American bar,
with all its traditions of justice and
liberty, stands with you and stands
with all the Allies by whose side we
have fought. We would not permit
the American boys who died upon the
fields of Flanders by the side of the
young men of England, fighting against
common foe, to have wasted their
lives.
"And the same sense of loyalty that
kept them side by side, charging against
death, must keep our countries together
to make certain the fruits of their
victories"

The plan is to designate Lieutenant

the navy's special representative to
serve as liaison officer between the
press and officials OF the transatlantic

seaplanos are to be made and when
other details of the proposed fight are
ready for publication.
Daily conferences by newspaper men
with the officers of the naval air sta
ton, held by the Secretary of the
Navy and press representatives here,
arc to be authorized by Secretary
Roosevelt in his efforts to keep the
public informed on the enterprise of
the navy in attempting the cross
Atlantic flight.
Permission likewise is to be extended
to newspaper photographers and mo
ton picture companies to photograph
the planes which are to be used in the
flight to Europe:
SO many conflicting stories of the
proposed fight have appeared since the
original announcement of the navy's
determination to attempt aerial navi-
cation of the Atlantic that Secretary
Roosevelt reached the conclusion to-
day that tho official stamp of approval
should be given to news of the forth
coming flight.

No Stamps To Be Sold
For Pts Per Cent Beer

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Revenue
stamps for beer containing 2.75 per
cent of alcohol will not be sold by rev.
enue collectors pending receipt of an
opinion from Attorney General Palmer
as to whether the government should
permit the brewing of such beer, con-
siderng it near-beer which NAV be
manufactured under Presidential
proclamation. Mr.. Palmer's opinion is
expected soon by Internal Revenue
Commissioner Roper.
The Revenue Bureaus attitude is
that it cannot afford to accept tax on
the Pts per cent product which it con-
sders at present of doubtful legality.
Officials said the question had not been
presented formally to them, although
protests had been received from brew
ers at Syracuse, N. Y, that the revenue
collector there had refused to sell
stamps for such beer.
The collectors action had not been
officially recorded here. The brewers
were told the bureau had reached no
final decision.

At the time the vessel sailed from

We were able to satisfy them that
under no conditions could American
business secrets become the property
