LINDSAY BACKS
BRITISH-U. S.
TRADE PACT

NEW YORK, May 10 UN.S).
Hope that q reciprocal trade agree
ment will be concluded between
Great Britain and the United
States was expressed here today
by Sir Ronald Lindsay, British
Ambassador.
Lindsay's desire was voiced at
q luncheon in connection with the
celebration Of National Foreign
Trade Week, after Assistant Sec
rotary of State Francis c. Sayre
recommended adoption Of liberal
and constructive cooperative COM
mercial policies by all nations.
Payments Big Problem
Individual traders are unable to
solve the problem Of payments in
foreign trading, and governments
must take UP the task, Lindsay
stated. This problem, he said.
would be one Of the bases Of "the
reciprocal trade agreement my
friend Mr.. Francis Sayre and I
alike earnestly hope may be con-
cluded between our two govern.
ments."
Despite the 1882 Ottawa trade
agreement which provided free
imports from British countries
combined with o moderate tariff
on imports from Others" the
United Kingdoms purchases from
non British nations far exceed
those from British nations, Lind
say revealed. Moreover, Great
Britain considers her permanent
excess of imports" as q net gain
rather than Q net loss Of national
wealth.
United States Aided
Lindsay declared:
1.-THE increased purchasing
power and the measure Of pros
perity which have accrued to
Canada, Australia and South
Africa from the assurance Of
the open United Kingdom mar
ket for their products have been
reflected In increased imports
by these dOminiOns from the
United States. The proceeds Of
their sales to the United King
dom have been spent in good
measure in the United States"
Sayre pointed out how discrim-
inatory trade policies might lead
to war.

Immortal office"

1.-THE Presidency Of the United
States, gentlemen, is . very great
office. We hope s Id believe that
It il an immortal office, which
may be lifted higher and higher
for the guidance Of q people and
the guidance Of free men
throughout the world. But pray
do not confOund the man who
occupies it with the office itself.
The fundamental feeling that 1
have is that 1 am not identified
with that office. am the per-
SON for the time being allotted
to administer it, and the only
way in which 1 can administer
1t is by constantly feeling the
grip Of other men fastened upon
my hand, not only to guide me,
but to accompany me in the
great task that is assigned me.
THAT is perhaps the reason
why 1 have done some very un-
conventional things in this very
conventional town! As / was say
ing to q large group Of friends
the other day, / get . very singu-
lar impression of what has been
the rule in the District Of Co
lumbia, because whenever I do
. perfectly natural thing 1 am
told have done something UNI
precedented.
81 am trying to get at the job
by all the natural short cuts that
/ can think Of, for the job is to
understand and to be under
stood. 1t is not to stand off and
imagine myself identified with
the dignity and immortality Of
q great office, but to think my.
self identified with the men with
whom / am trying to cooperate,
SO that we may think common
thoughts.

President Wilson went on to say
that unless he and the members
OF Congress understood one an
other the national interest would
suffer, and declared:

carried, amounts to . permanent

words, concluding his speech:

Speech Recorded

Someone. sensing the signifl'
canoe of what he said, took down
his speech at the dinner, and
later transcribed it. A copy ap-
pears in the archives OF the
Gridiron Club-almost the only
complete speech ever to be De
livered by President before the
Gridiron Club, Of which there Is
a record. In recent years the
clubs historian, Ernest G. Walker,
has made an effort to have these
speeches preserved for poSterity.
A few of them have been as
sembled, but only the Wilson ad-
dress appears in the clubs records
as deposited in the Library OF
Congress, covering the period from
1885 to 1929, inclusive.
Here is what President Wilson
said on that occasion:
This IL my first night out
since / came to Washington, and
want to say that 1 have pre-
foundly enjoyed 1t. I have lived
among good fellows all Of my
life, and / have found another
bunch.
You have paid me very
deep compliment tonight, per
hans without being aware Of 1t.
You have interpreted, for 1 have
cleaned that you understood. my
conception Of the part that 1
have to play.
