He said that they were linked by the bond of common service during the Great War. but there were even more enduring links between Britain and the United States. They were bound by history: law, common institutions, and literature. Times must come when their interests diverged, but the ties that bound them were strong enough to stand the strain.

A special message of welcome

•from the Duke of Gloucester, patron of the British Empire Service League, was read. He ex- pressed the hope that the visit of the Legionaires would be a pleasant one and, that it would further strengthen the tles be- tween the two nations.

Lastly, there is the non-aggres- slon treaty which China recently signed with Soviet Russia, a peg on which Japan is hanging much of her present propaganda.
