AMERICA AND BRITAIN

BETTER UNDERSTANDING

BY CABLE—_B_3S ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT LONDON, July 5. Colonel Harvey (United States Ambassador), speaking at the Independence Day clebrations in London, said that if George the Third had put forth a. proclamation approximating in d°auent sincerity and appealing force .eorge the Fifth's endeavour to reconcile Ireland, there would have been no bell ringing> in Philadelphia 145 years ago. Already a better understanding between Britain and the United States I made the turbulent Atlantic a millpond, eliminating the danger of na%»l warfare. There was good ground to hope, also, that whatever apprehensions existed of perilous possibilities in the Pacific, they might be dispelled sooner than commonly anticipated. It this splendid consummation was attained, disarmament would follow normally and inevitably.
