Manchester, England, November 30. George Harvey. the American am- bassador speaking as the guest of honor al a Thanksgiving dinner of the Anglo American society tonight, outlined in six points what he con- sidered d good formula for the na- tional policy of the United States. The points as given by MT. Harvey were;
 First. TO foster the strength of the republic by just legislation and economy al home.
 Second. To preserve to the na- tons of the world the blessings of peace.
 Third To strive 10 cultivate and maintain a concert in Europe.

 Fifth. To acknowledge the equal rights of all nations.

 Mir. Harvey, who responded to the toast, Cordial Relat!ons,' said a very few words would comprise a comprehensively adequate response.

 .s'rhe relations between Great Britain and the United States both between governments and peoples, ought to be cordial. and they are, said Mr. Harvey. They should con tlnue to be cordial, and they will. What more need be said? The toast has been proposed and the response has been given. Argument is un= necessary. The assertion is accept ed and the incident is closed"
 But, having tersely disposed of the subject of the toast Mir. liar vey proceeded to comment at length on the present industrial situation as compared with the period immediate ly following the Napoleonlc wars The amba ssador emphasized that al though conditions now admittedly we're bad, they 'are vastly better both in fact and promise" than eh- tained for "i5 long, dreadful years, following the Napolcpnlc wars.

 speaking of trade cunditionF sne the exchange rate, the ambaAsadoi quoted figures. showing an improve ment. He declared that 20,000 pounds sterling would buy more foodstuffs from the United States, now than 25 900 pounds sterling would have bought a year ago. The chase ol the pound sterling after the dollar had been sascinating race, and, all though the pace of the pound sterl- ing had somewhat slackened last summer, it's stride had been resumed and the gold parity, although hard ly within striking distance, neverthe- less was in sight.
 "The day when It has been reached" the ambassador continued twill indeed be a happy day and worthy of celebration on both sides of the Atlantic. We want all the peoples of the world to make money to make our money, if they can. by work. but not by lying down or pleading the baby act. Uncle sam resembles the Diety in one respect at any rate, he prefers to help those who at least try to help themselves
 America Creditor Nation
 The United States has become what has been called creditor na- ton. What of it? She was a debtor, and very hard working debtor, through many generations. It isn 1 a crime to be a creditor is it? l ask you Englishmen; you ought to know. If it is, beware the hereafter.
 Great Britain has been, and as Sir George Paish demonstrated the other day, after having provided for all her obligations, still is far and away the greatest creditor nation of the world. That's right that's as Il should be. You sturdy. capable, far seeing Englishmen have fairly earned your wealth and are justlysentitled to keep It or to use 1t as you see fit. We quite humbly, but somewhat firmly. claim a like privilege"
