Mr.. Asquith and Mr.. Balfour spoke
eloquently OF the treaty proposed by
President Taft, declaring that II would
mark a new era in civilization, but
both pointedly dlsclaimed that a pact
between Great Britain and the United
States for submission OF all differences
to arbitration would mean an alliance.
Mr.. Balfour warned his hearers

Speech Of the Premier.
Premier Asquith said.
The unique situation which we
have met to recognize and welcome
mas not been organized or engineered
by the apparatus Of diplomacy. The
seed which the president Of the United
States cast fell on ground prepared TO
receive IT,
THAT which few years ago, even
a few months ago, might have been
regarded as the dream Of idealis's'
has not only passed into the domain
of practical craftsmanship, but has be
come the settled purpose OF two great
demOcracies.
The profound significance Of the
new departure is that between Great
Britain and the United States. what
ever the gravity OF the issue and the
magnitude OF the interests involved;
whatever the poignancy OF the feelings
It arouses, there will be a definite
abandonment of war as a possible so
luton and the substitution of aFeu-
ment for force, and the supersessioD
by judicial methods Of the old ordeal
