They were publizh ed in the "‘Morning Post,”” which nevor had any use for the league of Nations and the ‘‘Daily Telegraphs’’ the Pos: said that Mr. Lloyd George’s assertion that the future, well being of the worid depended mainly upon Anglo-Americar friendship and cooperation, ‘‘was tiu~ and the League of Nations cannot, as w have been told rather frequently be (e only and unique guarantee of the future peace of the world.”” Referring to Anglo- Ameriean relations, the paper declared that nothing in recent years, thoroughiy dissipated misunderstanding that Presi- - dent Harding’s memorable statement of United States Policy, to which Mr. Har- vey referred during his speech.
