London. July 4-(By the Asso-
ciated Press) Diplomatic repre-
sentatives of more than thirty
foreign governments were guests
tonight at the annual indepen-
dence Day dinner of the American
Society of London. Ambassador
Harvey was the guest of honor.
Lord Lee of Fareham, first lord
of the admiralty, toasting the
guest, referred to Mr.. Harvey as
"a foreign envoy to whom the muz-
zle of diplomS had not been OBJ
trusive." II Britain and
America c< -. sxpect from him
"open am s$5sS * comment upon
Anglo-AR &cS relations"

revolt/.oS g American colonies,
AmbP ~, Harvey declared:
'YC$ r the territory compris-
ing n 3 United States could have
bf. ~ Iained, is wholly specula-
y But one fact is certain, II
e the Third, had issued a
.amation even approximating
eloquent sincerity and appeal
it..s force that was uttered the
other day by George V in his faith
full endeavor to reconcile a nation,
there would have been no ringing
of bells In Philadelphia one hum
dred and forty-five years ago this
night, nor for many years there
after"
Mutual Helpfulness.
Ambassador Harvey declared the
mutual helpfulness which all de-
sired could not be realized until
two grave misapprehension had
been removed, one Of which per-
vaded Europe respecting the Unit
ed States and the other which per-
meated the United States as to
Europe.
"The two combined appear to
constitute the chief barrier to full
and effective play, of cooperation
based upon confidence and under
standing" he said
Nothing could be further from
my thought or more repellant I'd
the instinct of any American than
to measure money against men,"
he went on. ''My sole purpose Is
to win fair consideration from any
who may have overlooked the fact
that the United States. along with
Europe. has her full share of ma
terial burdens to bear for scores OF
years, in addition to her grief at
the incalculably greater loss of
those who perished in the service
Of their country"
o. S. ReIief Work.
Mr.. Harvey referred to the
American relief work during and
following the war, which, he
said, cannot fail to live forever as
one of the finest achievements Of
hfstory.n
"The second misapprehension to
which referred is that of my own
who have been led to
doubt that the peoples of Europe
have been doing the utmost for |
themselves before seeking help"
he continued II have to confess I
that before I left home, I held |
somewhat to that surmise myself. |
do so no longer. The past two
months I have not heard one COM
planning word nor received a single |
,equest for benefaction. 1t is not
,harity. but opportunity they crave.
Il find In Europe this common
Impression that the United States
along among the nations of the
world, Is today land Of milk and
honey whose people only are uni
'ersally prosperous, though recall
,itrantly discontented. but are rich
beyond the traditional dreams of
Lvarice. You have only to sup
'lant the fancy with a suspicion
which I find not wholly lacking
hat all this opulence and his hap
'iness are direct results of the
'reat war, to account for the who'll
natural sense of resentment.
What Are the Facts?
What are the facts? Did the
rnited States really profit from
he war to such a degree as to
1ake the lives she sacrificed seem
0 the cynical and sordid mind
elatively insignificant?
Ambassador proceeded to cite
he tremendously increased nation
debt, the congressional appro-
riations for 1920 and the heavy
lcome taxation. He added:
elm dollars, the cost to America !
