London, Dee. 27.
Th British press this morning- ex
pramd .Treat enthusiasm over the visit
of President "Wilson.
The Morning Post said:
"The President of the United States
we trust Is convinced of the slnccro cor.
dlallty of welcome in this country. It
Is mtlnely marked by ceremonial, but
behind the pageantry Is a h'frtyd'irfre
tt saluto the representative of the crest
western republic, both in his own per
son and in his capacity as President of
great nation which Is allied to this
Country by ties of common orWn and
linked with common Interests ana
S Above nil. the American people,
i. the President said yesterday, are
Joined with the British peop to In the
irreatest adventure known to history for
SS permanent suppression of the enemy
of civilization."
The Dally Mall said;
"It was real and sincere affection and
no mere curiosity that brought to Pres
ident "Wilson's delighted ear tho tre
mendous acclamations of London yestcr
day afternoon. All desired to see what
miner of man It was who threw he
word of tho western world Into tho
scale which turned tho war and to know
by actual sight the great republican who
hid crossed the Atlantic to make a dis
tracted and war-torn Europe also a
safer world for democracy. IJrltatn Is
clad to the heart that the great Presi
dent has come among us. We havs made
a new friendship and built a strong bul
wark of peace."
The Dally News said:
"It would be an Insensible mind that
could witness without emotlonB of pro
found gratitude the spectacle of the
President of the republic which the folly
of an English king did so much to
create riding through our streets side
by side with a sovereign of a more en
lightened day. In that scene we saw
not only an erasure of the past, a cleans
ing of the book of memory of a long tale
of estrangement: we saw In It a symbol
of reconciliation and the opening of a
new and happier chapter, not only In
the history of the English-speaking
races, but In tho history of tho whole
human family, of whom those races
form so powerful a governing part. It
was well that such an occasion shouM
be celebrated as a popular festival."
The Dally Express said:
"The visit of President Wilson to King
George V Is nn event to which there Is
no parallel In history. It marks the
breaking down of the last barrier be
tween the two great English-speaking
democracies. The bread of freedom
which was cast upon the Atlantic In the
seventeenth century, when the May
flower sailed for the new world, has
been found again after many days. Lib
erty, exiled for a moment, has returned
across the seas to keep free the Old
World with a million marching feet."
The Dally Telegraph comments as
follows:
'To many of us the coming of Presi
dent Wilson Is apart altogether from the
circumstances which brought It about.
It Is the visible realisation of a hope
that had been dear to us throughout
life, and although we never doubted of
It In the end, It would bo vain to pretend
thot wo over expected It to take this, the
most striking and most-to-be-deslred of
Imaginable forms. That Is why the
enthusiasm with which wo greet tho
President is of a particular quality, dif
ferent In kind from what wo felt In
receiving other guests whom we were
equally delighted to honor. Blood,
language, law and common political
ancestry glvo sanction to the drawing
together of the world's great English
speaking commonwealths 'Which Is
signalized by the presence among us
today of tho head of a State sprung
from unmixed British stock.
The Chronicle's editorial says:
"It Is obvious that the Presidents
visit betokens a good deal more than
that of tho head of a state crowned or
uncrowned, and the cheering crowds In
our streets were and will bo well awaro
of It. In the first placo Mr. Wilson re
presents America, tho country of which
no Englishman ever thinks qulto as ho
thinks of other nritlons, since It speaks
our language, shares our literature, and
has built up Its fabric of ordered liberty
on tho basis of Ideas which aro also
largely common to us. In tho second
place, ho comes as the spokesman and
champion of a point of view regarding
international olTalrs In which as a na
tion wo are deeply Interested, since It Is
tho one for which It Is sometimes more
and sometimes less clearly seen that
the majority of our 800,000 dead laid
down their lives."
