Two weeks ago, I dwelt briefly on the potentiali- ties of Anglo-American concord. The subject is not only intriguing, but of. profound importance. Let us take the unparalleled state of affairs in the world to-day.
Great Britain stands alone in the physical sense, the last remaining bulwark against oppression of the subject. Her own varying schools of political thought have forgot- ten their respective differ- ences and merged into one coherent whole in defence of democratic principles. Con- servative. Liberal. National, Labour and Independent ad- herents have forsaken their own individual creeds, and amalgamated into one body; one united party with but one purpose, determined, no mat- ter what the cost, in preserv- ing the heritage of freedom -which-is-common-to-all, irres pective of political leanings.

Such a burden was not only un-. bentable, but, what is more to the polet, exercised a dire influence in retarding international co-operation and prosperity, and no nation realised this more fully than the United States.
It has since been realised that Great Britain was the mainstay in stopping German domination of the world during 1914-18, for had she been beaten then, the world would have long since fallen under the baneful 'influence of Nazliam, and all of us would have been deprived of our Independence both In thought and substance.
