Washington, Déc. 15,
The British Ambassador to the United States today handed over for two years to the library of Congress in Washington the pre- cious Lacock Abbey copy of the Magna Carta, the Great Charter granted by King John of Eng land to the barons in 1216 which secured English national liberties and has since been viewed as the basis of the English constitution. The Lacock Abbey copy is one of_four originals.
The ceremony took place at the Washington celebration of Amer!- ca's Bill of Rights" Day, at tended by Cabinet Supreme Court Judges and Con- gressmen.
Inverchapel, the British Lord Ambassador, said: "The great principle which the Magna Carta unacted that the ruler of the nation is bound by the law of the nationis the basis of all our] liburties. Today that principle find its expression must problem which the barons of King John would not have recognised as their own: can the great na- tions of the world--which are an it were the "kings"-be bound by international law?"-Reater.
