The present Government in America from all I heard--some of its heads I had the honour to meet--seems to be an admirable one, and working smoothly in times of exceptional difficulty. President Harding has had the wisdom to get good men round him and is a man of open mind and wide views himself.
With some of the faults I have found during my tour I am told that "The American Credo"[*] (given to me by my friend Mr. Anderson of the St.
Louis _Dispatch_) deals with searching fidelity. I daresay when I read it I shall learn where I have been wrong; but in criticising as I have, I am merely fulfilling the promise I made to write my impressions which at best can be but superficial.
[*] By G. J. Nathan and H. L. Mencken.
Among thoughtful people there is a great deal of pro-American propaganda going on in this country, and in conclusion I would like to say that there is so much that is fine and keen in the American race, so much that is disarming and lovable, that if I have written anything exaggerated or erroneous, I should feel of all people the most ungrateful.
I can only plead to be forgiven where I have erred, as I was not only shown unforgettable courtesy and friends.h.i.+p, but I feel it is vital to the peace of the world that our people and those of the United States should understand and care for one another.
