Are Proposed nn Promoter
of Good Will.
TiONDON, Dec. IS. The British com
mittee organized for the celehrution in
191 of tho centenary of Anglo-American
peaco has drawn up a comprehensive pro
gram, whl;h was made public today. It
in proposedTMhat a monument to George
Washington be erected In Westminster
nbbey or In. Westminster hall, adjoining
the House of Commons. It Is also pro
josed that Bulgrave manor, Northamp
tonshire, the ancestral home of Washing
ton, be purchased, and that an organized
effort be mado on both sides of the At
lantic and In the British colonies to pro
mote woll-consldered educational meth
ods and the growth of the feellnqs of mu
tual respect affection and good will as
well as mutual knowledge among tho
peoples of British and American descent.
lectureships at the principal universi
ties, prizes for essays on Anglo-American
.relations and new school readers are to
to included in the educational scheme.
It Is estimated that for these purposes
from KHO.000 to 1300,000 will be necessary
and substantial subscriptions liavo been
already received.
The announcement was made today by
Karl Grey at a meeting held at the Man
sion house and presided over by the lord
Tnayor of London. Many prominent per
sons were present, Including limlle Draun,
the burgomaster of Ghent. Lord Blyth,
Ixml Heay, Lord Courtney of Benwlth,
Lord Weardalc and a number of mem
bers of the House of Commons, Including
Ilamar Greenwood, Colonel Kdward
i'i'ycc-Joiics and Alpheus C. Morton, as
well as Conbul General J. L. Griffiths and
Sir T. Vesey Strong.
Letter from Mr. Held,
The meeting having passed a 'resolution
of sympathy with the family of the late
Ambassador Whltolaw Held, Earl Grey
rend a long list of messages of sympathy
wtth the movement, Including' one written
by Mr. Held, In which he said:
"The physicians will not consent to my
attending the rwbllc meeting at the Man
flon house to help start your movement
for celebrating the one hundredth anni
versary of peace between our two coun
tries. I especially wish to be present be
cause I regard .this as un event of enor
mous Importance, and I think that fail
ure to give It such a celebration as should
challenge the attention of the whole
world would be a crime."
There also were letters from members
of the British cabinet, Including Premier
Asqulth, and a cable dispatch from Theo
doio Roosevelt. The premier In his letter
promised the support of both himself and
the British government.
Orey Refers to Cuuol Dispute.
Uarl Grey, In outlining the scheme, said
he could not forget that he was speaking
at a moment when difficulties had arisen
in respect to the Interpretation of an
Anglo-American treaty, but his experience
In America had taught hlii "to know
Americans too well not to have Implicit
confidence in their sense of national
honor and fairness, and In their desire to
fettle each question as it arises with the
same regard for the rights of others that
we claim to accord ourselves,"
He pointed out that the proposal to
erect monuments in England, America
and the British colonies to commemorate
the centenary had met with the approval
of the British committee, and ho thought
that the other three proposals mentioned
were worty of adoption.
Emtio Braun, burgomaster of Ghent,
announced that the municipality of that
city Intended to assist In the celebration
by restoring the room in which the Anglo
American treaty was signed to its origi
nal stato, and by holding a banquet in
tho same room in which the peace dele
gates had dined, which as far as possible
would be a repetition of that held 100
years ago.
