BRITAIN AND AMERICA.
Signs of Close Co-Operation.
new ambassador's mission.
LONDON, 20th Mar.
The Pilgrims' Club tendered n dinner
last night to Colonel Harvey, the now
United States ambassador to Great Bri
tain.
In a speech, Mr. Lloyd George said tho
future well-being of the world depended
more upon tho good will, good understand
ing and oo-oj>oration of the two great
TCiigbsh-spcmking peoples of America and
Great Britain than upon anv other one
fact. He was glad that Colonel Harvey's
appointment coincided with the decision of
the United Slates to be represented ade
quately at the Councils of the Nations and
at tire forthcoming- meeting of the Allied
Supreme Council. Kuropenn diplomacy
worked in a dense thicket of ancient fetidn.
They had quarrels which had lasted cen
times. He had not realised it all until
lie attended the Peace Conference. In
Central jintope there hud been resurrected
into full and Vigorous life feuds that all
had thought lmd been dead and buried for
centuries. The repression and renose ofi
centuries had given to tbe feuds new
strength. It was essential that we should
find some means of dragging tho nations
out of this labynnLli of hatred and de
gradation. We wore delighted that Ame
rica would be participating in the meetings
of tlie Supreme Council, because we wanted
America to help us out.
Colonel Harvey, in replying to the toaBl of
his health, said he was authorised to parti
cipate m the proceedings of tho Supreme
Council upon the question of Upper Silcsiu.
Presidant Hardmg had declared that the
United States .must play her full part in
promoting world peace. In view of tho
decision of the American people, the Ame
rican Government would have nothing (o
do with the League of Nations. America
stood ready to work with Great Brilnin-
because . of tho advantage to bolli
to do ho. ITe would fail miserahlv in Ins
mission, and would disappoint President
Harding, if he did not frailly strengthen
the existing bonds of friendship and mu
tual nelpfulnesH. so that hereafter both
Governments might instinctively- approach
all yvorld problems from the same angle oj
common and inseparable concern.
