BRITAIN AND AMERICA.
COMMON AIMS ANO IDEALS. THE WAY TO UNIVERSAL PEACE. Some brilliant speeches were delivered at a dinner given by the Pilgrims’ (Society in London, the principal speakers being Mr Balfour, M.P., Mr Cliauncey Depew, Mr A. Birrell (Chief Secretary for Ireland), and Mr J. Hays Hammond (United States Special Envoy to the Coronation). Mr Balfour, in the course of his speech, said that America had empire problems and other difficulties just as Britain had, and the two countries could not help being in sympathy with each other. Both loved liberty, and as'they had the same ideals, it was surely predestined that they should work together, not by any formal alliance, but by their deep sympathy with, and by their aims and ideals in, the cause of civilisation and progress. Mr J. Hays Hammond pointed' out that it was a felicitous coincidence that the Coronation occurred at a moment so exceptionally auspicious in AngloAmerican lelations.' He believed that the arbitration treaty now pending between Britain and the United States would speedily he followed by similar understanding with other Powers, thus paving the way for universal peace.
