Harvey Strokes British Lion at London Banquet New England Owes Being to Old England, American Ambassador Tells Royal Society of St. George. By Associated Tress. London. April 23.—The Prince of ■Wales was sufflofcntly recovered from his recent throat affliction to preside at the banquet of the Royal Society of St. George at the Guild hall to night and to make a short speech to a brilliant company, including the American ambassador and Mrs. Har vey, the duke of Devonshire, the French ambassador, the earl of Sel borne and the lord mayor. In proposing the toast "England,” the prince modestly expressed the difficulty he experienced as an Eng lishrnan to find words to convey all that la yin his heart. Even if he could overcome the Englishman's natural reluctance to talk about Eng land and could find words, he ex plained, "my larynx would refuse to utter them.” Then alluding to the fact that the American ambassador was to follow him in speaking the same toast, the prince said: "I hope it is not a case of counsel for the prosecution following counsel for the defense. I do not think we need be apprehensive. From the look in his eye and from what I have > heard him say on many occasions, I suspect that Colonel Harvey, hailing as he docs from New England, has a soft corner in his heart for old Eng land, too. I sit down confident that 1 can leave England's reputation In very safe and friendly hands." Owe Being fo England. The American ambassador, George Harvey, said in part: "Churlish indeed would be the spirit of a New England man which, at such time, should withhold honor and reverence from the old England, to which it owes its very being. Nor could It, if it would, for both are true Englands, true to English principles, as against socialist theories, true to English Christian faith, as opposed to bolshevist pagan practices, true to the highest aspirations which they share, and share alike—to raise higher and higher and bear further and further into the wilderness the torch of civil ization. "It is my high privilege to speak for the New England and however halting and Inadequate may be my words, truely in my early environ ment may be found a certain measure of justification. My proud little na tive state of Vermont looks forth from its tree-clad mountains and sparkling lakes irpon its more popu lous sister coinmenvv ealth serene in its | consciousness of virtually undiluted ancestral stock.

I point to you my native r-'Knwnship (Pearhanth which contains: no man, woman or child of other than English blood—not one." Hark to Old England. • "So." concluded th» ambassador, "back we come to old England. Dos pite my digression in favor of I hr rew, it is still its night. And now I speak as an unalloyed American, for America, as I trust you will ever speak as unalloyed Englishmen for England, when I voice the grateful liens of my country to your society for inviting Columbia to join with Cale donia, Australia, Canada and all the peoples Throughout the world shel tered by Brittania in rendering hom age to England, secure in its match less past, still saddened, but serene and steady in its troublous present, tesolute and confident in the con No Rosy Dream of Reform for Lad After Sixth ‘Jolt’ Alvin Bushnell, 20, is something of a philosopher. Also he is a thor oughgoing crook, and he doesn't care who knows It. After he does his sixth "jolt” in Kearney, from which he escaped last December, only to be arrested last week by Detectives Killian and Davis while w aiting for a pal with whom he planned to hold up the Crosstown drug store, he has no rosy, altruistic dream of "going straight" and becom ing a useful unit in the social scheme. Not Alvin. He's been there be fore. “What chance have I got to go straight?" he asked scornfully Tues day morning. "It doesn’t pay. Bife's all a, gamble. There are so many big crooks in the world a fellow hasn't got a chance. The only plan that works is to get out and get it if you can. If you can't get it, that's your bard luck." ’‘Times Never Hard.” "AVhat do you do when times are hard?” he was asked. , ‘‘Times are never hard. If they ' don't have It today, they'll have It | tomorrow." "Do you make a pretty good living being crooked?” "Well, you can see. I always wear clean clothes: I weigh 160 pounds; and I always have money. "When I pulled my first stickup, the worst part was afterwards. I was gripped by fear every time someone gave me more than a passing glance But that's all gone." “I Do It to Dive." And he snapped his fingers. "I don't feel like that any moi». Some people do it Just for the thrill that’s in it. I do it to live.” Alvin was born In New York City. His mother is dead. His father,; formerly a salesman for the Interna tional Harvester company, he has not seen since he was 12. He served his first term in a juvenile home for shop lifting. Then he came west.

To me sir, I am proud and happy to say, no less than to you all, like the storied Zion to the Hebrew singer of old, ‘Its very dust is dear.’ " Federal Agencies Clash Over Farm Credit System Washington, April 24.—Dual ad ministrative provisions of the agricul tural credits act have brought about a clash as to policy between federal agencies cnarged with directing the new' farm credit system. The situa tion has reached the stage, it was said, where Secretary Mellon pro poses to attempt to "straighten out” difference* which have arisen between the federal farm loan board and the officers of the comptroller of the cur rency. Disagreement between the two units of the treasury arose first, it was said, when the loan board issued a circular suggesting that national banks might organize adjunct loan corporations under state laws as an added facility for those seeking to use the new credit system. This suggestion, it appeared, was. disapproved by Comntroltar Crissinger, who was said to have viewed the action as a move by the loan board j to upset a long-established policy of | the comptroller s office which had dis-! couraged organization by national 1 banks of any adjunct corporation which would not be subject to super- ‘ vision under the national banking taws.
