Sl4INtlSpg Jtbs CA Nbuh0tId-
tion of George Harvey American
ambassador to the court of st.
James, in which he urged that Am
bassador Harvey be recalled and
his recent performances erased
from the recollection OF man." was
made by Senator James A. Reed.
Of Missouri, tonight in a speech
before the Chicago Council, Friends
of Irish Freedom.
"Americ1 has produced two
great Georges-George Washington,
the Father of His Country, and
George Harvey, duly accredited am
bassador to the court of st. James"
he said.
Washington was Americas
greatest patriot. Harvey is Eng
lands greatest today Washington
expressed the soul of America;
Harvey the spirit of sycophancy
and toadyism.
Ought To BE Recalled.
washington addressed his couni-
try beneath the American flag;
Harvey spoke to an audience of eX-
patriots, tcadies, tories and mobiles
beneath the Union Jack of Great
Britain. Washington sleeps in
honor, his memory fresher with the
passing years. Harvey ought to be
recalled and his recent perform
ances erased from the memory of
man.
"As I survey the field of the
present and listen to the words of
an American ambassador, in sub
stance demanding a union of Amer
lea with the British empire; and the
continued insistence that America
shall join herself in entangling al
liances with the world; when I con-
slider the never ceasing agitation in
favor of n union between the United
states and the British empire, there
arises before my mind the vision OF
other days.
"Again / see the lantern in the
old North church; l hear Paul Re
vere's rallying shout the British
are coming arousing the minutemen
ito arms, the sharp report of the
first shots fired in the battle OF
freedom. At such a time as this I
summon the heroic spirits of the
revolution. Come, Washington, and
tell why you cried to God to turn
back the tyrants sword. Was 1t
for this; that at the end of 150
years a duly accredited envoy of
the country you established should
stand on British sell, beneath the
very flag you forced CORVALLIS to
haul down and declare for a union,
one and inseparable, Of America
and the British empire.
What Washington Said.
"In 1892 George Washington
said. why foreso the advantages
of our peculiar situation; why quit
our own to stand upon foreign
ground? Why, by Interviewing
our destiny with that of any part of
Europe, entangle our peace and
prosperity in the tolls OF. European
ambition, rivalship, interest, humor
and caprice
"On February 81, 1922, George
Harvey, speaking of the relations
which he asserted. had been recent
ly established between Great Brit
ain and America through the Wash
ington conference said: Not lib
erty alone, not union alone, but
liberty and union, one and insep-
arabic, was the most striking die
rum of Americas greatest senator
on Americas greatest need, and
such fairly accurate parallel is
the chief requirement of our two
working and trading countries to-
day.
IT do not preach hatred for the
British; / preach love for America.
I am willing England should run
her course. We seek no inter-
ference there; but we will be true
to ourselves. We will steer by the
stars Washington and the revolu-
tionary fathers gave to the skies OF
liherty',
