HARDING HOPES FOR
ACCORD WITH BRITAIN
ON WORLD AFFAIRS
Cooperation Seen in Anglo-Japanese Alliance and
Other Problems Now Hanying the Empire-Says
England's Greatest Contribution to an Un-
derstanding Is Settlement in Ireland

Special Cable to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1921, by THE New YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
London, July 4.
President Hardings congratulatory
message heading the special "Ameri-
can" number of the Times issued
this. the morning of the Fourth of
July, promises to become a diplo-
matte development of first impor-
tance.
Coming at the moment when Amer
lea is making a separate peace with
Germany and may withdraw her
troops from the Rhine, the Presi-
dents reference in his message to
Complementary power for good" to
the two peoples Is regarded generally
as an indication that Washington
can be relied upon to cooperate
steadily (if with unquestioned inde-
pendence) with Great Britain
through the difficulties of the Anglo
Japanese alliance question and other
problems now harrying the Empires
Premiers and the Empire itself.
In his message the President
adopts Lord Grey's idea of IAN un.
guarded ocean frontier like Canada s
land frontier bordering the United
States; hopes that Great Britain in
the League of Nations and America
outside may yet find common ground
for settlement of the problems mu.
tually important, and says that Great
Britain's greatest contribution to
Anglo-American understanding is a
settlement in Ireland.

Brighter Promise of
Peace in Ireland Now

T .ONDON, July (Tuesday).-
Reports of excellent
augury" have reached Westmin-
lister relative to the conference
at Dublin between Eamonn De
Valera and the four southern
Unionists, says the parliamentary
correspondent of the Times.
In quarters where a few days
ago the prospect of Mr.. De
Valera coming to London was re-
garded as doubtful, he adds,
there sprang up belief that the
conference had changed the
aspect of events and that his
coming might be regarded as not
barely possible but even prob
able.
The correspondent declares the
OPTIMISM is due largely to infor-
nation that "as an earnest of
good faith" the Sim Feiners
would release the Earl of Ban
don, who was kidnapped from his
residence in Bantry, County
Cork, by band of armed men
on the morning of June 81.

LONDON. July 4.-Ambassador George
Harvey told diplomatic representatives
of more than thirty foreign govern
ments at .he annual Independence
Day dinner of the American Society of
London tonight that one fact is GER
tain: "If George III. had issued a
proclamation even approximating in

been no ringing of bells in Philadel-
phia 145 years ago this night, nor for
many years thereafter"
Whether the territory comprising
the United States could have been re-
tanned Is wholly speculative" he
added.
The Ambassadors address was fol-
lowed with the closest attention by
those present, especially his references
TO conditions which must be removed
to bring the peoples Of the United
States and Great Britain into closer
thought and action.
Mr.. Harvey in the course Of his adj
dress declared that the mutual helpful
ness which all desired could not be
realized until two grave misapprehensions
had been removed, one which pervades
Europe respecting the United States and
the other which permeates the United
States as to Europe.
"The two combined appear to con-
stitute the chief barrier to full and ef-
fective play Of cooperation based upon
confidence and understanding" said the

ROME, July 4.-Sixteen per-
sons were found dead and
fifty others wounded after an at
tack by Fascist on the town of
Grosseto, Tuscany, Friday. The
Fascist, who made their attack
in military fashion, are said to
have been seeking revenge for
the death of a comrade killed
the previous day in an encounter
with Communists.
A systematic search of the
houses in Grosseto was made
and the Fasclsti were fired upon
from some Of them. They then
began an assault upon all homes

lived. The Socialist Municipal
Council was forced to resign for
fifteen days. Of those killed
fifteen were Communists.
