 ated Press)-The dinner of welcome by the Pilgrims Society to the Amer ican ambassador. George Harvey, to- night was enveloped n far deeper in. terest than usually attends such a re- ception to a new ambassador. Not only was it Colonel Harvey's first public appearance since his appoint ment, but there was general expecta- tion that he would reveal something of the new administrators policy to- ward Europe.
 The ambassador did not disappoint his audience, for he brushed aside any lingering illusion that the United States would have any relations with the league of nations. He also an nounced his appointment to represent the president in the supreme council in the discussion over Silesia.
 Harvey's plain words on the league were a revelation and his plea for the closest cooperation between the two great English-speaking countries was impressive.
 The British premier rather disap- pointed those who hoped for more of international plain speaking. He de- scribed the plight of Europe, enmesh- ed in ancient feuds, and gave warm welcome to the new cooperation of America in world affairs.
 The Duke of Connaught presided, and Lord Desborcugh read a message from the American Pilgrims.
 Lord Curzon, secretary for foreign affairs, spoke briefly and humorously referred to the league of nations by the wish that Lord Robert Cecil. one of the chief supporters of that organization were in his shoes. Noted Persons Present There were $50 diners, among them the Duke of York and many members of the peerage and representatives of the American colony.
 Ambassador Harvey, who was mak- ing his first speech since presenting his credentials, declared American soldiers came to Europe in the war to save the United States and not to save European states opposed to ! Germany, as some had contended. Harvey paid tribute to the Pilgrims as the most distinctive link in the chain of blood relationship between the British and American peoples and one of the most potent agencies of civilization.
 Inevitably, you to the east of us. derive your information respecting our public opinion from the great cit ies of the Atlantic seaboard," he con. tinued, precisely as our friends to the west take theirs from the states on the Pacific. 1nferences thus drawn may be right or wrong. but !, whether right or wrong their bases obviously are the subject of sectional influences. The heart of our republic lies in the great plain which stretches from the Alleghenies to the Rockies" !"
 It was from the hardy stock of that drawn seven of ten of it's recent chief executives, including President Hard ing.
 i commends Harding
 President Harding was portrayed as "a typical, modern American. proud of his own country. but jealous oi no other mans, resofute in maintain ing his own nations rights, but nc less scrupulous in recognizing the rights of others. a fair. just. modest man. humble. but unafraid"
 The outstanding attributes If Pres ident Harding. Harvey said. are breadth of vision. greatness of heart fideptv to his race no less than tc his clan, and no more to his familt than his ancestry. drawn from all parts of the United Kinedom" He |. declared these were sufficient reasons , why President Harding felt that friendliness and good will should ex ist always between the great English speaking nations and why he now pledges unfaltering cooperation ir achieving that aspiration. !.
