ROOT PRESENTS
LINCOLN STATUE
To Ct. BRITAIN

lnf AOphtN1 JpuNheL Aksehp V'NtIf
London. July 2s.-Elihu Root,
former American secretary of state,
today formally presented to the
British people the Saint Gauden's
statue of Lincoln in Canning
square, as gift from America, and
later the statue was unveiled.
Premier Lloyd George abandon
ed pressing official business to de-
liver the speech of acceptance.
The presentation was made In the
presence of a distinguished audi
ence in the central hall of Wes.
minister with Viscount Bryce, form
er British ambassador to the initial
States, presiding. The event was
widely heralded in the British pre- 's
as further cementing anglo-Ameri-
can friendship.
During his address. Mr.. Root de-
clared:
'.It would be difficult to conceive
of a sharper contrast in all the in
cidental and immaterial things OF
life than existed between Lincoln
and the statesmen whose statues
stand in parliament square"
Later in his address, however,
Mr.. Root said:
"It is the identical Fundamental
conceptions in both countries,
which make it impossible that in
Iany great world emergency Great
Britain and America can be on OPP
posing sides. These conceptions of
| Justice and liberty are the breath OF
| life for both. While they prevail
both nations will endure: If they
perish both nations will die. These
were Lincolns inheritance.
I'VE may disregard all life's pre-
JUDGES and quarrels that result
from casuel friction and pin pricks
and from outside Misrepresentation
and detraction, and rest upon Lin
coins unerring judgment of his
countrymen and his race. We may
be assured from him that when
ever trials come, whenever there is
need for assurance of the inherent
power, truth and triumph of JUS
tice. humanity and freedom--then
the peace and friendship between
Great Britain and America will
prove to be as Lincoln decreed tc
make them perpetual"
In his reply. Premier Llovd
George said that on behalf of the
people of the British empire he
accepted with gratitude this statue
of a great man. The premier spoke
of the pride and affection with
which Lincoln was regarded here
and continued:
He was one of those giant fig.
ures, of whom there are so few In
history. who lose their nationality
In death; one of those few who be-
long. to mankind. Such men are
needed now more than ever in the
settlement of the world.
May I be permitted to. say"
ladded the premier. that this torn
land bleeding earth is calling today
