LONDON PAPERS
VERY FRIENDLY
i. TO COL. HARVEY
Morning Post and Telegraph Refer
Cordially to His Address Of
Last Thursday Night

London, May 21-Two very cordial
editorials were included in this morn
ing's newspaper comments on the adj
dress made by George Harvey, United
States ambassador to Great Britain,
on Thursday night. They were pub
lished in the Morning Post which new
er favored the League of Nations and
the Daily Telegraph.
The Post said Prime Minister Lloyd
Georges assertion that the futur9
well-being of the world depends main
ly upon Anglo-American friendship
and cooperation was true, and con
tinued:
This being so the League of Ma
tons cannot, as we have been told
rather frequently be the only and
unique guarantee of the future peace
of the world"
Referring to Anglo-American rela-
tions. the paper declared that nothing
in recent years more thoroughly dissi-
pated misunderstanding than Presi-
dent Harding's memorable statement
of American policy to which Mr. Har-
.Yey referred during his speech. Brit
ish public" the newspaper added,
may well wish the policy of the Brit
ish government was as definite and
simple as the Americans"
The Daily Telegraph's comment,
which was largely personal appreci-
alton of Mr.. Harvey, cordially agreed
it was high time to give the quietus
to the idea that the United States may
yet be beguiled into the league,
The Daily News, continuing its
championship of the League of Ma
tions, remarked that the English
League of Nations union had just at
tanned a membership of 10000, and
said, there was no need to take Mr.
Harvey's words too tragicaTly.''
Referring to the statement that the
United States will keep out of the
League during the term of Mr.. Hard
ing, the newspaper said this would be
matter of grave regret, but twill
mean at the worst that the League
will go on without America as It has
done heretofore.
