drawn to the population various and
powerful elements from different coun-
tries and from different flags. There
fore a century Of pence between Great
Britain and her ,dominions beyond the

rectly both the interests and the imagi-

secretary of state for foreign affairs
and the secretary Of state of the Unit
cd States to transmit this invitation
through the proper official channels to
the governments of the world in order
that both BY the participation of gov
ernments and by the cooperation of
men of good will in every land this

sincerely trust will be a fresh era Of
peace and good will between all the
nations of the world.
