is 1T BYRD

Byrd differs not at all from Bird
in the matter OF derivation, and the
matter is usually settled by saying
that the lame Is form the commonly
accepted meaning Of bird, and was
probably first given as surname as
a nickname. The original bearers OF
the name, in other words, doubtless
possessed some birdlike qualities
that made the name seem appro-
pirate.
But there really seems to be more
to it than this. In early times, byrd
or bird meant only a young bird.
while fowl was the word used for
birds in general. In the Bible fowl
is used in this way, as 1.-THE foYls Of

Alliance With Britain
Futile, Asserts Harvey


say frankly that the hope voiced by
Lord Derby must be regarded as
futile.
"Our first president fixed the for
cign policy OF the UDitcd States
clearly and uncquivocally when he
adjured his countrymcn never TO
enter a permanent alliance with any
other power. This policy has been
reafIirmed by practically all his suc-
ccssors. 1t was reiterated with great
positivcness in our latest national
campaign by our present president
and was confirmed by majority OF
the people.
"In view OF these circumstances,
am I doing more than stating the
wholly obvious and unacceptable fact
when I pronounce the entrance of
the United States into any pcrma-
ment alliance, however, desirable that
action may seem to be, an utter i'm
possibility? May it not be then, the
part of wisdom to avoid discussion or
even suggestion OF provisal, which,
however, praisworthy it may be,
could hardly serve any purpose other
than to feed enemies and distress
friends of both Great Britain and
France who live in America"
Approaching Settlements.
Ambassador Harvey, in dealing
with world economics. said the after
math of the war was hardly less dis
concerting and devastating than was
the war.
AT the expiration of the ensuing
week." he continued, I'VE shall have
reached the beginning of the fourth
year following the armistice. Even
then we shall only be approaching
what we hope may prove to be the
first definite and enduring settle
ments looking toward the lifting OF
burdens and the establishment of in
ternationai agreements or under
standings foreshadowing prosperity,
which can be attained only through
the assurance of tranquil relations
among the powers"
There was, he added, political peace
in broad sense, and it was industrial
peace that now was being sought
and which must be obtained. I'VE
must face the issue squarely and man
fully" he said, 'as it BELTS our race.
The first fundamental principle that
we must recognize is that economic
laws are superior to Legislative en-
actments.'
He declared supply and demand
constitute the basic law of ali in
dustry and that a period Of what
normally would be termed over-pro-
duction should now follow the long
period of under-production. Instead,
however, he declared, both England
and America had been persistent in
under-produchon.
