RES"
This was the substance of the strong
appeal made by Premier Lloyd George
at the Pilgrims banquet, at which
Ambassador Harvey was welcomed to
England
''The future welfare of the world"
said Lloyd George, amid cheers, 'de-
ponds more upon the good will, I'M
derstanding and cooperation of the
great English-speaking peoples than it
does on any other one factor That is
the surest guarantee of a peaceful
world. am glad that America is to
be represented at the next interallied
conference, for it is essential to the
peace of the world that America
should be in it."
Lloyd George graphically pictured
European diplomacy working in a
dense thicket of ancient and ineradica-
BILE feuds.
These feuds," he said, "are not
only retained in memory-they are
retained in the blood of the peoples of
Europe.
IF this war is not the last war, then
the next war will leave Europe in
ashes. We appeal to America, not as
to nation of idealists. We know that
America will never say Am / my
brothers keeper We appeal to her
because the world has become more
interdependent and therefore it is for
one to help save the other"
The duke of Connaught, in propos-
ing Ambassador Harvey's health, said:
"The king has the warmest feeling
of friendship towards the United
States and would be delighted for an
expression of the same friendly feel
ing.'

directly, openly or furtiyely.D
With this reservation the ambassa-

America, but underlying his utterance
was the insistence that the United
States wants results.

clared, until we abruptly put aside
the academic discussion of theoretical
proposals and manfully face, without
mincing or Wincing, the actual real
tiles.
1--WE must realize that the time has
come to practice what we have been
preaching and to demonstrate our
fidelity by our acts.
Within two months of assuming
authority our government has adj
vanced clear and explicit proposal
designed to solve the most yexatious
problem of communication on the Pa
cific and took so decisivela stand on
PREPARATIONS that high officials of your
government have generously admitted
to me that its declaration may have
convinced the Germans that further
dawdling was useless.
Now in response to a request from
your premier the President has desig-
mated Representatives to serve with
the supreme council of ambassadors
and the commission on Preparations"
