FRIENDSHIP PACT

BRITAIN AND AMERICA

GENERAL DAWES' SPEECH

London, July 17.

The United States Ambassador (General Dawes) made an impas- sioned speech on Anglo-American friendship to the Travel Associa- tion at a luncheon to-day. Lord Derby presided. When the loving- cup filled with wine was circulated General Dawes received it from Lord Derby's hands, put it to his lips, despite his strict teetotalism, and passed it on to the Bishop of London without tasting it.

General Dawes, who observed the caution that has characterised his previous speeches, which were closely read from the manuscript confessed that he had been advised before his departare from America against making speeches in Bri- tain, and he had made only six. He had been led to believe that he need not say much to-day.

"Well, I have something to say," he declaimed, bringing down hie nist on the table and raising his voice to a shout as he launched on a speech on Anglo-American rela- tions.
