to the Anglo-Saxon race. They all dread
concerted Anglo-American action. And

An alliance between England and Amer
lea to adjust their controversies by means
of enlightened arbitration has already been
introduced into practical politics. The
time is opportune for it's re-introduction.
Ii the friendly sentiments at Westmin-
ster and Washington should be promptly
utilized to enact a treaty of arbitration

The grandest thought Of the century is
