tions Committee.

But his proposal derives its peculiar authority from the fact that it represents the views of a growing movement of opinion among the people of the United States for closer relations bé- tween the two countries.

There has been a big response in Britain. It is felt instinctive- ly by the people of this country that a policy which brings u into line with the United States must be the right path for us to take.

Britain and the United States seek the same objects and desire" to achieve the same results. We want peace for our people above. everything. Many of us are convinced that there can be no peace except in co-operation with Americn.

To attain that co-operation we must adopt a common policy. It is only by following the path of Isolation that we can expose to the world a common front with the Americans...

If we were to guarantee peace within the bounds of all the lands inhabited by the British and the American peoples, we should set an example to the world, we should show the way to prosper- ity and happiness. And on that account we would surely become the envy of the European nations. Other peoples will emulate our success and, in furnishing them with leadership and example, we shall fulfil our mission in the.. world and our duty to men.
