Before coming to williamsburg.
President Harding delivered an ad-
dress in Yorktown on the spot on
which Lord CORVALLIS surrendered
his forces to the revolutionary lead
er. General George Washington, in
1881. announcing TO the world n
policy OF Anglo American friendship
designed to endure for all time.
The more than 100 years OF
friendship existing between the
United states and Great Britain, the
President said. had been consecrated
by the sacrifices that both nations
had made in the world war, when
they found themselves "arrayed to-
gether in n trusteeship for the pre-
servation of civilization" He hal
some words OF gratitude to say for
France for the aid her sons had
extended the infant republic. and
insisted that the time was now ripe
for international corporation and
amity. The President referred in
his yorktown speech but briefly to
Anglo-Anerican relations.
Bell Announces Arrival.
Mr.. Harding referred to tho "tri-
umph of freedom in American colo-
nies" as having strengthened liberal
views in the old world" and de-
clared that liberal public opinion had
inevitably brought America and
Great Britain to policy OF accom-
modation and pacific adjustment" oc
all differences. The future break OF
friendly relations between the two
countries, he said, was unthinkable.
The President then discoursed on in
ternational relations In q general
way, not dismissing the subject be-
fore asserting that american par
ticipation" in world affairs is "in-
evitablc." He expressed the hope
that tho common good would usher
In now day" of lnternationa, rela,
t!ons.
