George Harvcv. the American Ambassador. neakinc ns the guest of honor at a Thanksgiving dinner of the Anglo American Society tonight, said: "The United States has berome what has been railed a creditor nation. What of it? She was a debtor, and a very hard working debtor through many generations. It isn't a crime "to be a creditor, is it? I ask you Englishmen, you ought to know.

Ton sturdy, capable, farseeing Englishmen have fairly earned your wealth and are iustly entitled to keep it. or to. use it as you see fit. "We quite humbly, but somewhat firmly, claim like privilege." Mr. Harvey in his speech outlined in nix points what he considered a good formula for the National policy of the I'nited States.

The points as given by Mr. Harvey were: First To foster the strength of the republic by just legislation and economy at home. Second To preserve to the nations of the world the blessings of peace. Third To strive to cultivate and maintain a concert of Europe. Fourth To avoid needless and entangling engagements.

Fifth To acknowledge the equal rights of all nations. Sixth The foreign policy of the United States should always be inspired by love of freedom. Mr. Harvey, who responded to the toast of 'cordial relations," said a rery few words would comprise a comprehensive adequate response. "The relations between Great Britain and the I'nited both betv.Tii governments and peoples, ought, to be cordial, and they are," said Mr.

Harvey. "They should continue to be cordial, and they shall. What more need be saidV The toast has been proposed and the response has been given. Argument is unnecessary. The assertion is accepted, and the incident rvclosed." Sees Industrial Betterment But having tersely disposed of the pubjecr of the toat.

Mr. Harvey proceeded to comment at some length on the present industrial situation, as compared with the period immediately following the Napoleonic wars. The Ambassador emphasized that, although conditions now admittedly were bad. thfy "are vastly better, both in fact and promise." thin obtained for ''fifteen long, dreadful years" following the Napoleonic wars. Speaking of trade conditions and the exchange rate, the Ambassador quoted a list of figures showing an improvement.

declared that 10.000 pounds would buy more foodstuffs from the Tinted States now than 15.000 pounds would have bought a year ago. The chase of the pound sterling after the dollar had been a fascinating one and. although the pace of the pound sterling had sonvnvhat slackened last summer, its stride h-)d been resinned and the goal of parity, although hardly within striking distance, nevertheless was in sight. "The day when it has been the Ambassador- continued, "will indeed be a happy day atd worthy of celebration on both sides tbe Atlantic.

The Labor deputies in the Irish Parliament have beeii making severe attacks on the Government policy and the secrecy of the military trials and executions. Deputy Johnson, alluding to these executions today, said: "This is not law, but anarchy lynch law ouce removed, lynch law without mob violence.

What is the difference between "the military an nouncement in this case and the bit of paper pinned to the body of a man found in the gutter stating that he was a spy executed by the Irish Republican army?" They been asked to trust the military. Military necessity had Hieen pleaded, but military necessity had not availed. Civil necessity came first. When men were being tried for their lives their fellow-citizens should know all the circumstances. He asked the Ministry to change its policy and sub stitute publicity for secrecy.

Secrecy suggested fear, aDd fear led to brutality and barbarism. Among otaer Labor speakers, Deputy O'Connell warned the government that its policy of executions would bring it down and said that no phrase was so misused as "the will of the people.

No odor of gas, no sign of violence or 'other indication of an untimely end could be found, and police wpre forced to the conclusion the couple died together simply as the result of advanced age. The brother and sister, Charles Sekio, 7G, and Mrs. Ann Kennedy, 85, were found in a rom in the residence of Joseph Rotnjan, where they made their home. The discovery came when Mrs.

The grave are' expressed by he hous Prince Christopher, of Greece i safety, not only of Prince brother of the former King tine, but also for the King A.

-j courts in a preliminary investig, a having found that Prince Audrew -aware of the real 'situation, and. ac cording to Greece's professed saviors, should have cautioned the people. King Virtual Prisoner It has also been confirmed. that King George is virtually being held a prisoner, although no formal decree has yet been issued for his arrest. The latest information from Athens says that the King is permitted see members of the Cabinet, but only with the permission of the military authorities, and it is expected that unless foreign protests lead to a cessation of th persecution of all peouns connected with the old regime, it will be only a question of days before tie King's name will be added to those who are to be made to pay for Greece's downfall.

"We are terribly anxious," Prince Christopher's secretary told The Inquirer correspondent tonight. "Nobody knows just, what is happe-iing, and with, feelings stirred up by the terrible events of the last few days, there is no telling" how far passion may carry the new idea of punishing the helpless victims." It was suggested, however, lhafe there was great doubt as to whether the Greek people would permit the death penalty to be imposed members of the royal family, for fear of serious international complications, es pecially wth Great Britain. Tim severest punishment expected in Greek circles here is banishment and probabl.y the confiscation of the property of fh royal family, to be followed by a temporary military dictatorship pending-the selection by tbe people of cither a king or a president. This, of course, depends entirely on whether the military court's revenge is to be extended lo the present King, who so far has enjoyed the confidence of the Vcnizelist and moderate elements, and whose sentiments are known to be democratic and in favor of a closer understanding with the Allies. Greeks here believe that ho will te saved from the fate which befell the slain ministers.

Expect Strong British Protest The French- Govesnment is sti'l refusing to mix into what it considers a Greek national row, but it is watching developments closely, especially tbe attitude of the British Government. in this connection announced this afternoon that Prince Andrew's wife, the former Princess Alice of Bat-tenburg. has arrived at Athens, to be. with her husband during the trial, and it is believed that her influence wilt cause the British Government to make a strong protest against further assassination. Even the Greeks admit, however, that it will be hard to discriminate now, especially as" three more generals Papoulas, Dousmanis and Valrttas -have been arrested.

The charges on which they were arrested are still secret, but they undoubtedly will not vary from those under which" the ministers were executed.

More than 50.000 were there, and from eight to ten thousand were turned away. Even the Army-Navy game drew no such crowd as this.

Of this enormous mass, 52,000 lingered long in the capacious new-Franklin Field stadium to watch the Ithacans, now gone berserk, literally bounce around the field in an abandoned serpentime dance behind the colorfully- garbed Cornell band. Even a crippled youth, with his hat bedecked with a white C'd Cornell red feather, hobbled down into the playing field and joined in the demonstration. "Victors Cavort on Field At the close of the game the vfc-torious hosts swarmed down from the stands into the field, and throwing dig nity to the winds, pranced about the inclosure. From one end of the field to the other they cavorted, singing and dancing in an ecstasy of enthusiasm, throwing hats and catching them as they came down, regardless of whose hat each caught. I inally the seething mass resolved itself into a sort of snnlic-dancc." hich twisted its erratic way from side to side of the inclosure.

while the crowd lingering in the stands added their shouts to those of the dancers on the field below. Even the women students did not find it beneath their dignity to join in the hectic dance of victory. The demonstration was finally con cluded when the Cornell cheer leader, mounting to the shoulders of a companion, directed the hinging of all the Cornell ftongsv Descending, the Red and White cheer leader, -whose figure now had become the focal point for thousands of pairs of eyes, made his way through the swarm of students to the goal posts at the west end of the field.

But- despite t' is mueb-to-be-deplored failure of the Red and Blue to assimi late the Cornell course, the football feast was served, and Pater Fenn and his family of 56.000 stuffed themselves with gridiron delicacies and went away from the new Franklin Field as happy as possible under the circumstances. -As a spectacle, yesterday's football feast rivalled anything that Belshazzer or Nero ever dreamed of, and surpassed any Day gridiron picture Philadelphia has ever enjoyed. Around the barred board was walled a Quaker family almost thrice as large and thrice as colorful as any which ever sat down to a "Turkey in this city.

But as a football game the action furnished was too devoid of the spectacular to be spoken of in the super lative. Better. Cornell teams have driven cleats into the turf of Franklin Field, and much more formidable Penn teacus have opposed them. It was just a hard gruelling football game between two fighting teams, one of which had the punch to win by a field goal and a touchdown.

A minute or Hanson, the veteran Cornell tackle, kicked it. the followers of Penn had been plunged into a delirium of joy when the gritty Red and Blue defense halted a tJ5-yard thrust on its own 2- yard line. But the roar ot triumph and relief was still an echo when Haioer dropped back and got away one of his very tew poor kicks this season, the ball going out of bounds on the 24-yarcl mark. Not.
