We were unfortunately unable last week to say anything about
the luncheon of the American Lun cheon Club and the dinner of the Pilgrims' Club at which honour was done, and done in super- lative fashion, to the President of the United States, to Mr. Page, the American Ambassador, and to our American Allies generally. At the luncheon the Prime Minister spoke with great eloquence and feeling, and the reply he received from Mr. Page was in every way worthy of the occasion. The dinner was the occasion for the most remarkable assembly of distinguished and representative people ever seen in these islands. We cannot find space to give the names, for they would literally crowd out everything else in our pages. It is enough to say that no person of importance was absent who could physically have been present at the ceremony.
