Newx York, April 24th.—Sir Auck- land Geades, British Ambassador at Washington and Sir George Forster Minister of Trade and Commerce of Canada, were the principal speakers at the annual dinner of the St. George’s Society of New York at the Waldort Astoria last night. Five hundred mem- bers and guests attended, women and men dining together for the first time in the history of the Society. Sir Auckland, who was received with great applause, remarked that St. George’s Societies were dining, in celebration of the day in Canada Australia, ladia and other parts of the world. No dinners were being held in England because of ¢he labour troubles. ‘‘England is only one fifih as large as Texas, small and not partic- ularly fertile, ‘‘He said’’, but rich in its men and women. That is the trea- sure of it. ‘‘The Labour troubles in Great' Britain’’, the Ambassador said, ““Were only another form of the old fight that was fought in England for Demoerstic Govt. The trouble was part of the cost of the war, which had dis- arranged the economic machinery of Eu- rope, but the difficuities would be over- eome ’’ Speaking of those who are trying to break the ties of Kriendship and understanding which exist betweer. the Allied and associated nations which fought together in the war, Sir Auck- land said they were striving to drive a wedge between the nations, and make hostility take the place of friendship. “It is’’, he declared,”” the work of brok- en and defeated men who have nothing to lose and all to gain. Cooperation pbetween the Allied and Associatiated Powers must be insisted upon and kept promjtly in the minds of men, for those stand against Mi!tarism and stand for freedom and Democratic rule.

A good deal of what you might call maudlin sym- pathy is being displayed towards Ger- many’’. This was greeted with tremen- dous applause. ‘‘if Germany had won the war’’, he went on, ""What would have been the terms of peace?’” all through the war the Germans kept up the spirit of the people by continually saying '‘When we beat them, we will make them pay all expenses of the war, and there is no doubt they would have done this. They not only would have made France and ¥ngland pay, but they would have made the United States pay also, Yet there are people who think we are harsh with G rmany notwithstand- ing that nc. indemnity is asked, but only reparations for the damage they inflicted.
