AN AMERICAN
WAVE SWEEPS
ENGLAND
Hard Declares Condition Is Re-
action to False Pro-British
Speeches.
By WILLIAM HARD.

The United States is getting
the full force now of the boom
erang from all unguarded pro-
British speeches made in London
to British audiences and. to Brit
ish newspapers of official Ameri-
can emissaries and wanderers.
Contrasting those speeches with
the subsequent purely American
policies of the American Govern
ment, the British public is CIV
ing itself over to it's first great
historic spasm Of anti-American
emotion.
Such is the report authenti-
cally presented here by numerous
returned American travellers,
some of whom occupy high posi-
tons in our Government.
.AntiAmerican Sentiment.
BY one of these distinguished
public servants a strange paradox
is pointed out to this writer. At
the very moment when there is a
sinking of anti-British feeling in
America to a new low level, there
is a rising of anti-American senti-
ment in Britain to a level high be-
yond all precedent.
Previous outbreaks Of anti-Amer-
icanism in Britain, 1t Is noted, were
largely confined-as during our
civil war-to the British socalled
ruling classes Today for the
first time in British history an anti
American sentiment has made its,lf
spectacularly visible and audible in
large sections of the British masses.
No competent denial of the as
serted fact is Forthcoming from any
recently and broadly experienced
American observer. On the con-
trary the testimony of virtually all
such observers is positively and en-
phatfcally to the effect that the
current conversation Of ordinary
average British citizens is now
rapidly acquiring an anti-American
tone which in Abraham Lincoln's
day was prevalent really only III
certain particularly fashionable
drawing rooms.
Then the British Government in
clined toward anti-Americanism and
the British people were friendly.
Today the British Government is
friendly and the British people are
increasingly critical. Such is the
situation convincingly reported mere.
and the explanations given for it,
when followed to their finish, lead
straight to our national American
habit of going so f~r in our senti.
mentalities that we cannot keep up
with them in our practices.
1t appears that the British re.
garded the speeches of Americans

GARDINER Mont. June 3d.
President Harding has served no.
tice on some Of the influential
leaders of the Republicans party
that he, as titular leader Of the
party and probable nominee at
the next national convention,
will not stand for an "open shop"
plank in the 1924 platform.
This was the Interpretation
placed today by friends upon the
Presidents remarkable speech
last night at Helena, in which he
dealt with the capital and labor
problem with a great deal more
frankness than has characterized
his previous utterances upon this
controversial subject.
Plan Gains Roadway.
1t is an open secret that the
movement for an "open shop and
law and order" declaration in next
years Republican platform has
gained considerable Roadway in
some influential sections Of the
party. One of the leaders in this
movement has been Gen. Charles
G. Dawes, of Chicago, and he has
been supported by many big man.

trip to Florida last spring Gen
eral Dawes discussed it with the
President and with newspaper cor

| Mr.. Harding was non-committal
at that time. but in his Helena
| speech he chose to answer the
anti-labor faction Of the party,
and his remarks are expected to
act as a decided check on the
movement in general.

President, that there were some

Some Sought Conflict.
''In this connection let me say
frankly I know there were Some
elements which hoped for a great
and decisive conflict between or

ION the capital side were those
who hoped the Administration would
lend itself to their program of
breaking down organized labor and
sending it back to the era Of indivi-
dual bargaining for the individual

"On the labor side were those who
hoped, by eXorbitant demands and
an attitude Of uncompromising IN

ROME, June 30.-Relations be-
tween France and the Vatican were
strained almost to the breaking
point today as a result of French
displeasure over Pope Plus XI's
Ruhr note.
M. Jonnart suddenly cancelled
his proposed reception to the Cath
Ole Cardinals. This was attributed
to the antagonistic attitude of the
French government towards the
Papal note. It is possible that M.
Jonnart may retire as French am
bassador to the Vatican.
Many Italian papers praise the
note as a favorable move towards
settlement of the Ruhr problem.
There is a feeling in Vatican circles
that the note was interpreted in
the wrong spirit"
