VOLUME XXXVI. LAURENS, SOUTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1921. AMERICA WENT 1 SAVE SEI American Ambassador Delivers First Address Since Prosenting Creden. thil. Belittles iden Amerleas 314). tive in Entering War was AltrutiA-le. -London, May 19.-The American am t1assador, George Illarvey, in his first Ileech since presenting his creden tials, declared tonight thdt Amflerlcan armed forces came to !Eurci.le in .the World War ;olcly to save the United States and not to save Ettroi)ean stat.es oppodcd to (erniany, as some had con tended. Mr. larvey's address, which was de livered at a dinner given by the i gz'im -Society in his honor, attracted especial interest, coming as it did at a time whcai the probable attitude of the Ulnl:d States toward the tense polit ieal situation in lEurope is arousing lively speculation, and as the first au thorized expression of the American viewpoint. Mr. Harvey paid tribute to the PIl. grims as the most distinctive link in the chain of blood relationship be tween the British and American peo 1fie and on of the most potent agen ces of olvilization. Their activities, h1 said, had been a sustained labor of love and patrotism which only now i'ere beginnin; to fructify in an ear nest desire and determination on the part of both peoples to blow away *mists of in isconstruction and misun derstanding, which far too long had 'hidden the:r true natures, one fromt the other. The outstanding attri.butes of Presi dent Harding, Mr. Harvey said, are breadth of vision, greatness of heart, fidt'lity to his race no less than to his clan, and no more to his family thin to his ancestry, drawn from all parts of the United Kingdom. Mr. Ilarvey declared these were sufficient indica toiis and reasons why Mr. Harding felt in the very fibre of his being at this crucial period that friendliness and good will should exist always be tween the peoples of the great Inglish speaking nations and why he now. 1pledges unfaltering co-operation in achieving that aspiration. Nothing could be more futile, more ddlusive and more mischevious, le said, to pretend that the Americans' 1proffer of a helping hand was attrib ttable primarily to "a tender suscep tibility." "it is not," Mr. Harv'ey declared, "M1y country stands re-ady to work with yours, because, first: it is to our own interest to do so; and secondly: because it is to tie advantage of both. "We deceive ourselves occasionally. Even to this day at rare intervals an ebtllient sophomore seeks applause by shouting that 'we won the wa'.' Far more prevalent unltil recently was the impression that we Iwent to walr to rescue humanity from all kinds of melnacing perils. "Not a few remail convinced that we sent our young soldiers acro.- to save this kingdomi, France and Italy. That is not a fact. \,e sent. themi solely to save tihe (United States~ of Amerien, andl mlost reiuctanitly and laggardly at that. "We were not too proutd tq flight, whatever' that may mean. We' were not afraid to fight. That is the real truth of the matter. So, we came along toward thle end andl helped you .andl your allies to shorten the war. Th-at is all weo dlid and that is all we claim1 to have (lone." D~iscussing what he called the "sen tient pecrilous present" Amnbassador liarvey saidi: "For years I hrave heard it pro claImed that war *hetwceen Great Britain and Amierica had ceased to be conceivabie. * * * No resuncl~tion of ar'medl conflict is unimaginable. Any (lay may witness a reneveal of the Wqr' of tile hlosen, any (lay the clash of the .Blue and tihe (Gray in the swamps of Vir'ginia. "lBut so unlikely are suclh happen~ ings that the suggestion, even though it incr'edibly were made, would evoke no more than a dletisive smile. But it is onie thing to stamp) constantly upon an absurd notion, and another tihing to never think of it at all. 'Woaw the qiuestion rises, have not .our' countries roeaced a point with re spect to the remotest possib~ility of a conflict thlat justifies our' forigetting it as completely as the battles of Bios worth Field Atnd Appomattox have faded from our recollection? "Such, I ami happy to rdiport faith rO WAR TO X, SAYS HARVEY ffully in the teeth of -all the mischief makers and scandal mongers of both nations, has become the settled con Viction of our people, and I 1ho)e and doubt not, of yours. S"Ikicause the President has exem pIlifcd his avowal of obligations, it must not be inferred that he pr!))oses to becole an international meddler," continued the ambassador. "Ie would be the last to intervene or be drawn nlto ally llatter of no concern to his own country, Lut also no one realizes more clearly than he that the United States is, of necessity, deeply interest ed in proper economic adjustments and the just settlement of matters of world wide importance under discussion and desires helpfully to coc;Oeate." "There still scems to linger in the minds of many here the impression that in some way or other, by hook or crook, unwittingly, iurely, unrwil lingly, America may yet be guilde(d in to the League of Nations. Let me show you how utterly absurd such a notion is. "I need not recall the long contest waged between tile two .branches of our government over this proposal. I need hardly mention that the conflict became so sharp that even the treaty went by the board, to the end that to day, paradoxically enough, Amerlr: continues to be technically at war, bu actually at peace, while Europe is nomina'lly at peace, but according to all reports, is not wholly free from the cl'ash of arms. "Finally, the question of America's participation in -the League came be fore tile )ecile, wo decided by a ma jority of seven millions. "It follows, then, that the present government could not, without -be traya..pf its . creators and masters, and wil'l not, I can assure you, have anything w-hatsoever to do with the League or any commission or commit tee appointed by it or responsible to it directly or indirectly, opeily or furtively." * DIALS NEWS e e e ... e e ** C0C** ee Dials, May 23.-The school at this place came to a close Friday, May 13th. after terminating one of the most sue cessful terms in its history.
