President Harding's Voyage of Understanding, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Side B

This is the reverse view of image number 1111998. The text reads: "PRESIDENT HARDING MEETS REPRESENTATIVES OF THE DOMINION GOVERNMENT AT VANCOUVER, B. C. On June 26, President Harding disembarked from the U. S. Naval Transport, Henderson, at Vancouver, B. C. The arrival of the chief executive of the United States was made the occasion of a military display excelling anything previous on his trip. Formal welcome was extended at the pier by the officials of the Dominion, the Province of British Columbia and the City of Vancouver. After the formal reception at the pier was over, the President was conducted, in a parade through the city, to Stanley Park where he delivered the principal address of his visit. The President was received at Vancouver with all the official courtesy which the British, everywhere, so well know how to extend. The people of Vancouver were deeply sensible of the honor paid them by the visit of the chief executive of their great neighbor on the south and accorded him a reception not excelled in warmth and enthusiasm by any he had received in the United States. He made several addresses and every minute of the day was fully occupied from the time he landed early in the forenoon until he returned to the transport about ten oclock at night. A visit to another nation by such a chief executive as President Harding cannot fail to develop fraternal feeling between that nation and ours. Copyright by The Keystone View Company"
