Understanding between nations and peoples, fostered by the bonds of industry and commerce--the necessary flow of goods that keeps the wheels turning all over the world-is basic to peace,
It is our fervent hopo-one which we believe is almost universally shared that the statesmen on both sides of any and all existing disputes and misunderstandings will get together and set things to rights. We still hold to the view that mutual trade does most to promote friendship and understanding between nations and peoples, and that we, as business men, should argue that point wherever and whenever we can:— Isbrandtsen
