IS FRIENDSHIP WORTH WHILE

Mr. Frank Diboot writes for the America Resin of Ressence a Fmost interesting article entitled “Is England'a Friendship Worth While 2" In the course of it be |says "it is all very well to say all trace of suspicious feeling. "towards" Britain has been wipeď: away. As a matter of fact, it has not. One says this of course with the full knowledge that suspicion has been much lessened by the war. At the same timain] this world of practical things it! would be folly to assume that all memory of the past has disappear, ed. The hostility to Britain that remains is continually fanned by the Iriah here or, to be more precise, by Americans of Irish descent-who wish to see Irelanti separated from Britain. For good or evil they have a confiderable, influence-over wide strethes of the population. There is still one further matter, which has, to` be taken into account. In day by-day habits of life Britain and America are in many directions far apart-fact which reactă among those who are already ros free from the touch of dissatisfac- tion. Perhaps to some of the armchair philosophers it does nat seem very important that there are differences in the babits and amenities of everyday bife; in actuality they have à good deal to do with the feeling for or against a foreign nation The very fact that the British and American language is the same accentuates instead of arneleirat- ing the prevailing differences.

The position and power of the United States and the pood of many of its people are certain- ly considerations, which have to be reckoned with in dealing with the question as to whether it is to the interest of this country to pursue a policy of active friendli- ness and possibly of co-operation with the British Empire, What is America to get out of it in hap- piness or material prosperity? It seems to me there would be stik-] ing advantage in both directions

(1) With all their differenc s, some of them real, some of them artificia, Americans and Britons are nearer in fundamena's and in tempe ament than any other two nations. They have the same basis in law, morals, social idrals, and forms f religion. The general impulse of the common people in the two countries is ximilar it not identical. Tey can by working in un son secure the strength which comes from joint eff ri and propag t- Bor nly the material welfare of he two peoples but also the

Educationalists, leaders artists, reformers, the professors from the universities the religious leaders and the prd tagonists in a dozen spheres of life, would look upon America as a field of action and a home second only to their native shores. Of course much benefit would flow- to Britain from the virility and mental courage and new visions of the United States Meanwhile it cannot be doubted that America would find herself the richer in many of the possessions which ahe values perhaps higher than any other nation.
