SPEECH BY MR, WILSON.

President Wilson was the recipient on

May 11th of a commemorative gold medal from the Institute of France. Last year he was elected an Associate Momber af

thu Academy of Moral and Political Solence. but had not previously taken part in its proceedings. Acknowledging. the presentation, 31 Wilson suid:-.

Mr. President: It is with the keenest sense of gratification and pleasure that find myself in this company. You have not only said that I was at home here, but you have made me feel at hom by the whole tone and tenour of your cordial welcome- I have said that in one sense, in any case, I have felt at home, because I am more or less familiar with the works of members of this institute. I have worked in the same field. I have felt that quick comradeship of thought and of principle. Therefore, I was prepared to feel at home in the company of man who have worked na 'I have in common

MR ASQUITH AND IRELAND.

FUTURE OF LIBERALISM,

At Newcastle, on May 13th, Mr. Asquith presided over a dinner at the Liberal Club. Sir George Luna, in pro Mr. Asquith had played a part in the posing the health of Mr. Asquith, said,

Mr. Asquith said: It is a truisan to say that nothing is so necessary to the conduct of democratic government under Parliamentary conditions as a vigilant and powerful Opposition. I have had as large u experience as anyone now living of Both sides of the House. The first six years of my Parliamentary life wes that they were not the happiest and most spent in Opposition, and I am not sure interesting. Those were the day-I am 1999 when we fought with tenacity Irish speaking of the time between 1886 and

It was a conviction slowly brought bom self-government is the only clternative to to our people during those years that coercion, and it is as true to-day, and even more true to day, than it was thirty years ago, It was that conviction that gradually converted the majority of the British electorate to Home Rule."

Fortunately, sir, there is one thing which does not excite the jealousy of nations against one another. That is the distinction of thought, the distinction of literature," the achievement of the mind. Nations have always cheered one another in these accomplishments rather than envied one another. Their rivalry has been a generous rivalry, and bever an antagonistic rivalry. They hava Co- operated in the fields of thought as they bave not co-operated in other "felds.

We have accumulated wealth, we have devots ed ourselves to material enterprises with extraordinary success, but there has un derlain all of that all the time a common sense of humanity and a common sym pathy with the high principles of justice which have never grown dim in the field even of enterprise; and it has been my Yery great joy in these recent months to interpret the people of the United States to the people of the world.
