PHILADELPHIA, Pa, October 30
David Lloyd George, stopping in Phila-
delphia today for a few hours in his
swing through the country, was cor
daily received wherever he appeared.
Arriving shortly after am, before
the reception committee was on hand,
the British war premier remained
aboard his car until $3.50, the sched-
uled hour for his official entry into the
city
During this period he was informed
OF the passing away of his friend and
FORMER colleague, Andrew Bonar Law,
dispatched a message Of. sympathy to
the daughter of the dead statesman and
paid public tribute to him.
At the station, three hundred singers
sang Welsh songs as the former premier
ate breakfast, and continued to sing as
ne lett his car and started for City Hall.
Sits in Historic Chair.
The official welcome took place on
City Hall plaza, where Mayor ]. Hamp-
ton Moore gave him the freedom Of the
city. AS band played America" Mr.
Lloyd George turned to the mayor and
said that a Welshman composed the

that reason, he smilingly added, he felt
he was somewhat OF an American him
self.
At Independence Hall. to which
the British statesman and his party
was driven through crowded lanes
or people waving American and Brit
ish flags, Mr.. LDoyd George was in
vited to sit in the chair occupied
by John Hancock when he presided
over the meeting at which the
Declaration of independence was
signed and also occupied by George
Washington when he presided over
the constitutional convention. Dame
George were similarly invited.
The former British premier looked
at the chair for a lA1g time and,
turning turning to the asseyage in the

commission in June, 1922. invited J.
p. Morgan to como to Paris and SO
also were other international f1nan-
ciers and business men invited. The
governments did not send any dele
gates and were not committed by
what their nationals said, or did any
one in the United States Senate raise
q finger of objection at the time.
So Mr.. McCormick's suggestion that
George NJ. Reynolds of Chicago should
be named cannot influence tho Amer
lean government because the repara-
tions commission will undoubtedly
choose some American banker who Is
willing to undertake the hotation of
an international loan II a practicable
plan for financing Europe by private
bankers Is ever agreed upon and the
Morgans are known to have the con-
fidence Of both the French and Brit
ish governments to degree unparal-
leIed by any other American invest
ment company.
Counted On BY Optimists.
This factor alone is counted upon
by the optimists, who hope for a
satisfactory settlement Of Europes
problems. Only men in whom the
French and British governments have
confidence will be able to get any
where with q statement of what Ger
many can or cannot pay, and what
kind of a loan will attract American
and other investors. Mr.. Reynolds.
on the other hand, is one of the
group Of American bankers who con-
sistently has opposed American en-
trance In Europe financial affairs.
There were rumors that President
Coolidge would, before the end of the
day, let 1t be known just wherein he
disagrees with Senator McCormick's
statements, SO that 1t would not be
supposed the statement was issued
with his consent or approval. Mr..
Coolidge has not been direcly criti-
cized in public by any OF the repub-
ucan senators since he took ONCE,
and the charge that he Is permitting
American taxpayers to pay for Eu-
ropean defaults and mistakes Is not
likely to go unanswered.
The Illinois senator. however, says
he isn't through yet and that tomor-
row he will have another blast. He
thinks 1t is up to him and others in
his group to keep the administration
from getting entangled In European
affairs and he does not have conf
dence that men like Secretary
Hughes and others who favor CO.
operation with Europe will limit their
programs simply to advice. but will
