CHICAGO. March 11.?Declaring his
belief that all responsible statesmen
of the great world powers are
"honestly doing their best to re

the United Staled, appealed to the
Chicago Association of Credit lion
In an address today to lay a
"firm and true foundation of mutual
Interest, respect and understanding,
?>n which world peace may .safely
rest for yearn to come."
Although urging the co-opcratlon
'if nations In securing world peace,
the ItrltlMh envoy avoided any dl
reet reference to the arms conference
pacts. Tie said, however, ho could
not allow the opportunity to pass
without paying tribute to the spirit
shown by the representatives of all
nations at Washington.

"There was not a representative
but did his utmost to lay th<- founda
tion for long continued peace
throughout the ?world," Sir Auck
land said, "so lonn as the subject
dealt directly or Indirectly with that
greut human interest." |
"The evils In world affairs now,
however," he added, "are more eco
nomical than political. Much of pres
ent day unrest is based on the tco- j
noinic position In which various coun
tries Ilnd themselves. If there Is one
thing the war taught. It Is that we
are ho Interlocked that no one na
tion can suffer without other nations
suffering also."

The ambassador cited the particu
larly relations of the United States
and Great Ilrltain, adding that be
cause of the heavy purchases by
Hritain of American goods "the pro.*- I
perlty of America's foreign trade Is !
ilependent on Hritish capacity to buy i
your goods and pay for them." He i

MONTAGUE STRESSES NEED
OF NATIONAL ART GALLERY
Congressman Tells Printers Government Should Lay
Aside Annually Specified Amount for Purchase of
Subjects?Governor Trinklc Also Is Speaker.
Stressing America's great need of j
an art gallery embodying BUbJecti
of world-wide Interest and Import,
A. J. Montague, Congressman from
Virginia and Its former Governor, ad
dressing the Richmond Club of
Printing House Craftsmen at their
anniversary and ceremonial banquet
In tho Woman's Club last night,
uigcd Congress to appropriate fltoo,
000 yearl yto bring vto this country
tho art which it should possess.
Congressman Montague declared It
his opinion that a democracy Is as
much entitled to art as a monarchy
and emphasised that nothing which
educates is too good for the Ameri
can public. He said wo rapidly are i
arriving at tho stage where pictures
are being exhibited and manufac
tured to further education.
America, he continued, is.our coun
try, and it is the best In the world.
Mr. Montague declared tho govern
ment should lay aside a specified
amount each year for the pitrclrtise of
nrt subjects, anil that the fnnd
'should accumulate. Ho urged the
erection of a great gallery ?t the na
tion's capital, which should be worthy
of long Journeys to witness and ex
plore.
He declared that 80.000.000 people
In America visit motion-picture the
aters annually, and pointed out the
jrreat strides they arc aehlcvinii. He
declared that education Is being
u I (led greatly by the appeal to the
eves through this graphic art.
In commenting at some length, on
the printing art in America today, Mr.
Montague declared ho knew not what
tho world would be without tho
printing, engraving and allied trades,
lie emphasized tho duties of the
printer and his responsibility, urging
that the history of the Commonwealth
bo not allowed to slip beyond recall.
He told the printing craftsmcn they
were custodians of the history, doc
trine:! and principles which promote
a nation. "Vou are the only people,"
lie said, "who have an abiding mwn
ory. It Is difficult for a mere man to
r<member accurately happenings of
thirty years ago."
Concluding, he said: "By virtue of
the advancement of mechanical arts.
