INDEPENDENCE DAY.
AMERICAN AMBASSADOR’S SPEECH.
By Telegraph—Press Association Cop?x>'gkt. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association (Received July 6, 12.55 a.m.)LONavON, July 5. Colonel Harvey, United States Ambassador, speaking at the Independence Day celebrations in London, said that if George the Third had put forth a proclamation approximating in eloquent sincerity and appealing force George
the Fifth’s endeavour to reconcile Ireland. there would have been no bell ringing in Philadelphia 115 years ago. Already a better understanding between Britain and the United Statefs had made the turbulent Atlantic a millpond, eliminating danger of naval warfare. There was good ground to hope also that whatever apprehensions existed of perilous possibilities in the Pacific might be dispelled sooner than was commonly anticipated. If thb splendid consummation were attained, disarmament would follow, normally and inevitably.
