one mission in America, namely to
express my appreciation, as prime
minister during the war for Canada 5
magnificent services and sacrifices in
behalf of the empire. My only other
purpose is trip of self-education with
regard to America.
Il am particularly eager to get per-
sonally acquainted with your great
Middle West 1 would Ike to learn
something at first hand of your po-
| litical system and machinery. 1 want
to meet not only your national leaders
but some of the representative men
who dominate politics in the States
and counties.
Il desire to visit en- route two or
three of the smaller Main street

to motor, say from Springfield, Ill. TO
which 1 am attracted because of its
association with Lincoln, 20 Indian
apoIs for the purpose Of viewing a
typical farm region.
IT am most DESTROYS Of visiting
Kansas City. from which have re-
ceived cordial invitations from the
mayor and others and I hope TO in
/ clude II II possible. because l con-
slider Kansas City the real heart OF
America
Scranton Is Welsh Town
IT shall certainly visit Pittsburgh
because II Is the center Of an Ameri
can community of fellow Welshmen
and also Scranton, which l under
stand has the largest proportional
Welsh population of any city in
America.
II have always been most inter.
ested as a student in the American
Civil War and hence. desire to see
your battlehelds over which Lee
Stonewau Jackson and other brave
men fought. l would like to extend
the tour further West, even to the
Pacific Coast. but It is doubtful II
will be able to do this on account OF
the limited time.

dent in Washington. I am watching
the course of his illness now with ex
ceeding anxiety.
