BRUCE SPENDS BUSY DAY IN NEW YORK.

THREE IMPORTANT SPEECHES MADE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association. 1 NEW YORK, December 29. Mr Bruce spent a strenuous day, which began with a luncheon attended by the most prominent financiers and industrialists. He then attended the English-Speak-ing Union reception at which he made a lengthy address concerning the necessity for the continuance of Anglo-Ame-rican friendship for the peace of the world, and he concluded the day with a dinner given by the Pilgrim Society, at which he also spoke in a similar tenor. The bankers’ luncheon was private, but it is understood that the address j there was substantially concerning the j same subject as the address before the bankers in England and contained a j correction of the erroneous statement j sent by an American journalist to a J financial journal in New York inti- j mating that English financiers were j hesitating to lend money to an Austra- » lian- Labour Government. The guests] at the luncheon included Mr Otto ! Kuhn, of the Kuhn. Loeh Company, Mr Thomas Lamok. of the J. P. Mor- i gan Company and Mr Elbert Gary, of I the United States Steel Corporation.
