Ist.—A message was rea® © om Mr. Lloyd George at the din D " it by the Pilgrims Society in ar of the delegates to the Washing- . Conterence on limitation of arma- fients and Far Eastern problems, in which tke Premier expressed the hope that he would still be able to attend the conference. ‘‘l shall share to the full”’ said the Premier, ‘‘the earnest hope and belief your gathering will express in the work to be done at the great conference at Washington, which lam Loping to be able to attend. For summoning it, the world owes President Harding a debt of sincerest oratitude, and we shall do our utmosc to ensure its success’’. The Lon- don newspapers gave great prominence today to the address made at this dinner last nicht by Mr. Harvey, the United States Ambassador to Great Britain. The address shares »onours with the debate in the House of Commons relative to the Irish guestion and it received apprecia- tive editorial notice. Mr. Harvey made retference to the reduction of naval ccn- struction by the United States, and this was considered a matter of deep signifi- cance by commentators. ‘‘This eloquent fact’’, declared the ‘‘Times’’, in discus- sing Mr. Harvey’s statement relarive to the cuttiug down of the building of war ships’’, is proof of sincerity, which should be recognized and an example which shege imitated, where and when it is possiple. The ‘*MorningPost’’ called it a “‘valuable guarantee of Amer- ica’s goodwill’”’, while the '‘Chronicic said the whole speech was an admirable expression of the spirit of the Americ:. people regarding the approaching cor ference in Washington. Mr. fiwrvey o hopes for the success of the ¢onicrence in Washington on the limitation of arma- ments were endorsed by every newspa- per in London, which reiterated the ex- pressions of approval previously made whenever the conference has been under discussion. ‘The Japanese Ambassador, Baron Hayashi in the course of his re- marks, said that the deiegates were go- ing 10 Washington not thinking only of the interests of their own countries, but the weltare of the miilions scattered throughout the world, they were ali thinking how to reconstruct an economic world, and relieve the crushing burdens of taxation under which all are suffering. As Washington was receiving the dele- gates with open arms, so the delegates were going there with §pen hearts. Mr.
