The time was, he SAID, when

! as u tritle arrogant; simultaneously

especial interest, coming as it did
! when the probable attitude Of the
| United States toward the tense po-

Duke Toasts Harvey.
The Duke of Connaught, in pro-
posing the ambassador y health,
said that Mr.. Harvey was a man
who believed in the closest friend
ship between his country and
| Great Britain for the benefit and
peace of the world.
Mr.. Harvey is no stranger to
England" he ADDED His knowl-
edge of England and his know
edge of Europe will be Of the
greatest help to him.
you will all agree that We
would all wish America and the
British empire should walk hand
in hand through the many diff
cult cs that beset us for the bene-
fit of the peace Of the world. The
king has warm feelings Of friend
ship and regard Tor the United
States and he, more than anybody
else, would welcome an extension
of the friendly feeling which really
never ceased to exist"
lloyd George Pays Him Tribute.
Premier Lloyd George. in sec
onding the Duke of Connaught,
said:
1.-THE United States has honored
us greatly by sending us success
sion of distinguished men as am
bassadors. The fame of our guest
has travelled long ago to this coun-
try. His championship of the
cause of the allies was well known.
THE war has taught MS many
M thDGn laGCnnG ls
that the immense population of the
United States is not Of Anglo
Saxon, nor even of AnglO-CeltiC
origin. In the United States there
are men of every race. Neverthe-
less, it is a source of pride that in
the great events of America the
directing minds have been Anglo
Celtic. The great literature of
America is ours; the great litera-
ture Of Britain is theirs. We speak
the same tongue; we worship the
same great men. That produces a
sympathy and community that
nothing can break.
"A Brilliant PubliciSt.'
1--WE welcome the new ambas-
sador for many reasons. He is a
brilliant publicist. I read the other
day testimony TO his gifts by the
president, who said he was one
who had more to do in the awaken
ing of the soul of America than
anyone outside of official life. who
writes with the most trenchant
and convincing pen of any man In
this country.
1--WE never can regard citizens Of
the United States as foreigners;
therefore in the new ambassador
we welcome a brilliant kinsman.
The future well being of the world
depends more on the good will, the
good understanding and Corpora
ton between these two great Eng
lish speaking peoples than on any
other fact 1t is the surest guar
antee of world peace,
II am glad then. that the am
bassador's appointment comedies
with the decision of the United
States to be represented in the
councils of the nations. | am
glad that the new ambassador has
been chosen as the representative
of the United states and that he
will be present at the coWing meet
ing. II is essential for the peace
Of the world that America should
be in.
European diplomacy works al
ways in the dense thicket of
