Of the peace of the world In general.
The King has warm feelings of friend
ship and regard for the United States,
and he more than anybody else would
welcome an extension of the friendly
| feeling which | believe exists now and
which really never ceased to exist be-
| tween the Two countries"
| The Prime Minister, Mr.. Lloyd
| George, In seconding the Duke Of Con-
| naught said
"The United States has honored us
| greatly by sending us a succession of
distinguished men as ambassadors,
| who had already won great fame be-
! fame of our guest has travelled long
! ago to this country. His championship
| of the cause Of the Allies was well
known and fully recognized He is q
man of our race.
1.-THE war has taught US in this coun-
try many lessons. One of these lessons
| is that the immense population of the
| United States is not Of Anglo-Saxon
origin, nor even of Anglo-Celtic origin.
In the United States there are men of
every race under the sun. Neverthe
less, it is source of pride in these
islands that in the great events which
| have determined the life and history
OF America the directing minds have
ture of America is ours; the great
literature OF Britain is theirs. We
sreak the same tongue; we worship the
same great men. That produces a
sympathy and community that nothing
can break.
1--WE welcome the new Ambassador
for many reasons. He is d brilliant
publicist, who has left his mark on the
course Of events in his own country
upon many critical occasions. l read
the other day testimony to his gifts by
the President, who said he was 'one
who had more to do in the anchoring
outside of official life, who writes with
the most trenchant and convincing pen
of any man in this country
"As we happen to know men who
write trenchant material and are not
always convincing it is real achieve
nent on the part of our guest that he
combines both qualities in his writ
ings. is
surest Peace Guarantee
"we never can regard citizens Of the
United States as foreigners. Therefore,
in the new ambassador we welcome
brilliant kinsman. The future we'll
being of the world depends more upon
the good will, the good understanding
and cooperation between these two
great English speaking peoples than
upon any other one fact. It is the best,
1t is the surest, guaranty of world
peace.
81 am glad, then, that the ambas
sador's appointment comedies with the
decision of the United States to he rep
resented adequately, in the councils of
the nations. / am glad that the new
ambassador has been chosen as the rep
resentative of the United States, and
thst he will be present at the coming
meeting. It is essential for the peace
of the world that America should be in.
European diplomacy works always
in the dense thicket of ancient feuds,
rooted, entsngled and entwined. 1t ia
difficult to see the path; it is not always
possible to see the light of day. I did
not realize it ali until the peace con-
ference. ] did not realize how deep the
roots are.
"In central Europe there are blood
feuds all thought had been dead and
buried for centuries which have been
resurrected into full and vigorous life.
repression and repose for centuries
have given them new strength. It is
difficult to walk wisely or we'll amid
ali these ancient conflicts--the memo
rles are 80 great, SO continuous, so in
tense, the momentum of revenge in
creases as each succeeding stroke.
IF this wax isn't the last war, the
next will leave Europe in ashes. IL is
essential we should find some means of
dragging the nations out of this laby-
rinth of hatred, this degradation, for
our own safety"
Referring, to America, Mr.. Lloyd
(YpnPgn 4pjHs owe i.
power, vigorous, strong, ciear-headed
untrammeied with these old auarrels. .
He concluded: eve are delighted
TO see the United States coming, not
because we. want to drag America into
the quarrel. That would only make
1t worse and aggrayate things. We
want America to help US out, and not
help us in We appeal to America not
merely as . nation of high ideals. We
know that 1t is not country that will
say: Am / my brothers keeper?'
The world has become more inter
dependent than it has ever been be-
for. What has happened even in trade
during the last few months shows how
dependent not merely one nation in
Europe Is on the others, but now de-
| pendent one continent is on another
therefore this decision excites hopes
In our breasts We rejoice in it and
| NO rejoice in the selection which has
! been made of man who knows Eu-
rope, who understands Europe, who
is whole-hearted American--an Amer
lean patriot.
When l propose his health I ac-
claim not only the new Ambassador
to the Court of st. James's. out the
representative of the great democracy
of the West in the councils Of The
/ nations of the world ~
