Writing of this descriptios does not tend to smooth the way for the era of universal pesco. It would not be out of place to retort that Britain has done nothing to interrupt the amity which exists between Britain and the United States, whereas, on the other hand, by hostile tariffs and other com- mercial restrictions, a clique of Ameri can politicians has done its best to vain several branches of British trade.
