Speaks Of "Cordial Relations.-
Mr.. Harvey. who responded to tho
toast. Cordial Relations" said a very
few words would comprise COM
prehensively adequate response
The relations between Great Brit
ain and the United States, both be-
| ought to be cordial. and they are"
said Mr.. Harvey. They should con-
tinue to be cordial and they shall.
What more need be said? The toast
has been proposed and the response
! has been been given. Argument is
unnecessary. The assertion is ac-
cepted and the incident is closed"

somewhat slackened last summer. its
stride had been resumed. and the goal

all her obligations. still Is far and
away the greatest creditor nation of
the world. That's right: that's as 1t
