than in the warm and perpetual friendship of
these two great nations of Western Europe who
had in the past found themselves too often di-

feel that their world interests were identical
and that they had no rivalries over which TO
fight. but that they had great deeds to perform,
for the attainment of which meetings Ike the
present afforded the greatest security.
