Bartlett, an American citizen. who, hav-
ing foresworn bis country. is now one of
the most militant of the conservative
members of the house of commons, has
introduced pamphlet written by him
self, which has caused an immense sen
sauon. Its interest to the United States
lies in the evidence showing that Great
Britain is absolutely helpless in Europe
unless an alliance with America is ef-
fected. The course of the pamphlet
points out that an offensive alliance has
been practically formed by all the nations
of the earth with the possible exception
of China and Japan, against the English
speaking people. The United States
and Great Britain must combine to de-
fend the countries.
The pamphlet has created intense TEX.
