Seeking a New Vision

U.S. AMBASSADOR APPEALS TO BRITAIN San Francisco Press Broadcast. LONDON, April 14. The United States Ambassador, Air. A. Mellon, to-night broke a lance with Socialism, calling on the combined economic and diplomatic power of Great Britain and the United States to lead the world to better times with a renewed vision, of the benefits of the present economic system. As guest of honour at the annual banquet of the Pilgrims’ Society, the new American envoy spoke to an audience of more than 400, among them being the Prince of Wales, the Foreign Secretary (Sir John Simon), the Home Secretary (Sir Herbert Samuel), the Secretary for India (Sir Samuel Hoare), Lord Reading, Lord d’Abernon and eleven Ambassadors.

MUST LEAVE NOTHING UNDONE Received Friday, 7.0 p.m. LONDON, April 14. In the presence of the Prince of Wales, Earl Derby and other notables, the United States Ambassador, Mr. Afellon, speaking at the Pilgrims’ dinner, reviewed the world situation. He added that Britain and America together represented a great centripetal force in a world which was tending to fly apart. They must leave nothing undone to strengthen it, not only guarding friendship as sacred and vital, but also by co-operating with all other nations to achieve again the world's peace and economic well-being. Air. Kellogg, who arrived at Plymouth with Air. Stimson, expressed the belief that the world depression had ended and that a new era of prosperity was gradually dawning in the United States, but business must be placed on an economic basis and expenses reduced in order to prevent high taxation.
