FRepuhlloan A. p. Leased WIrel

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 3-George liar rrw. United Etates ambassador to Great Britain. toId an audience at the Liverpool chamber of commerce that Is was futile so hope that America, as Lord Derby recently had been suggest ng. may some day be merged 1n a definite alliance with Great Britain and France. This statement was made as a Aggression from an s-1Eicss on economies and the in se-rasional industrial situation in which the ambassador attacked com rnuniSrn or socialism and defended fr,1iriduaiism. He recalled Lord Der tv'S statement in an address in Blr- r.trzshan in which the latter vouched ene conclusion that the success of She axhington conference would mean peace and that its failure would mean war fn the immediate future. He also recalled Lord Derby's suggestion to former President Poincare of France that an Anglo French alliance would hs desirable in the interests of peace and intimating the strong hope" that American might eventually join the combination.
 ~Ncw it seems to have fallen to rnx unhappy lot, since J have been 5n England" continued the ambas- .sador. ito dispel illusions respecting The attitude of the United States. l can conceive of no more effective service on the part of an envoy than sa set forth frankly any certainty which may bear on the immediate future, however disappointing it may be xo his hearers. l feel impelled 10 say frankly that the hope voiced hv Lord Derby must be regarded as futile.
 ~Cur first president fixed the for rir.a policy of the United States clearly and uneauivocally when he adtured his countrymen never to en- ter a permanent alliance with any other, power. Iris policy has been re- affirmed by practically all his sue ceSsors. It was reiterated with great poSltiVeaess in our latest national campaign by our present president and was confirmed by a majority of the people
 Tn view of these circumstances, am I doing more than stating the wholly obvious and inesca pable fact when I pronounce the entrance of rho United States into any permanent alliance. however desirable that ac- t4on may seem to be. an utter impos- klbll<sg May it not be then the part tf wisdom to avoid discussion or even SagEestson of proposal which, how ever praiseworthy it may be, could hardly serve anS purpose other than 10 feed enemies and distress friends CT both Great Britain and France who live in America?"
 Ambassador Harvey, in dealing with world. economies, said, the art errnath of the war was hardly less q Sccnccrting and devastating than was the war.
 At the expiration of an ensuing week he continued. we shall have reached the beginning of the fourth year following the armistice. Evef then We shall only be approaching what we hope may prove to be the first definite and enduring settle rnenfs looking toward the lifting ot burdens and the establishment of in rcrnafional agreements and under standings foreshadowing prosperity which can be attained only through the assurance of tranquil relation! among powers.
 There was" he added. "politica peace in a broad sense and it wa: industrial peace that now was beins sought and which must be obtained W e must lace tle issue SdudAeiy aiiN rnanfuiiv." he said. "as it befits oul race The first fundamental principa that we must recognize is that eco homie laws are superior to legisla- tive enacJments."
 He declared supply and demand constitute the basic laws of all in dustry and that a period of whai normally would be termed over pro- duction should now follow the long period of under production. Instead however. he declared, both England and American had been persistent 1T under production.
