Rest assured that the statement
has not been made without much
study and the most careful con-
sideration. Let us admit the truth
of everything that is implied in
these questions, put the worst
possible construction on England S
actions in the past, still there would
be no good reason for antagonism
towards the England of the present.
My appeal, however, does not
rest upon this. Many facts in the
case, entirely unknown to the
average American, may be brought
forward, and these will serve to
decrease any resentment which
previous events have stirred up
against England and the English.

spoken, where English ideas i'm
proved and enriched by being plant
ed in a new soil and under new
conditions prevail, and where the
people are blessed with the same
big heart-the heart that beats the
cause of truth, righteousness and
human progress. What | am today
is largely owing to my many friends
IN America, some of whom have
been my helpers since boyhood.
In a sense, therefore, it is fitting
that | should occupy the position of
this morning, and | trust that
may be able to speak word which
shall remove misunderstanding and
promote a friendship which is al
ready deep and strong.
Strictly speaking, the hundred
years of peace have not necessarily
heen a hundred years of good will.
War always leaves it's sting, and
the War of of 1912 was no exception
to the rule. In addition to this the
relations between the two countries
have at times been strained and
more than once war seemed to
be inevitable. 1t speaks we'll for
the craftsmanship of both countries,
and is an evidence of better things.
that mutual concessions were made,
and an abiding peace established.
Today, after many years of storm
and stress, the feeling of bitterness
is almost entirely gone, and real
friendship prevails. Let us pray
that, however much we may be
divided politically, we may still
clasp hands with our kinsmen across
the sea, andAmerica and England
be united in all that pertains to the
worlds progress.
In all the dealings of England
with America, there has been moth
ing which, if rightly considered,
should provoke hatred and distrust
on the part of one people towards
the other.
am prepared, when make this
statement, to be met with a number
of objections. You will ask, What
of England's misrule in Colonial
times? What of the Revolution and
the War of 1912 in which England
was arrayed against America? What
about the Trent Affair and the
attitude of England towards the
Union Cause during the War of the
Rebellion? These thing are familiar
to all who have studied American
History. Have you not just con-
fessed that during the so-called
hundred years of peace war has
several time been imminent How
then can you make such statement
as that 2"

The so-called grievances of the
Colonial period, up to the time of
the Revolution, were experienced
by England herself. We should
never lose sight of this great fact.
The history of England from the
time of the Norman Conquest is
the record of one gigantic struggle
for liberty. The effort reached it's
elimination when Hampden and
his associates resisted by force of
arms the tyrant King Charles |.
1t was this conflict which laid the
foundations of the United States,
and the names of the heroes of that
times are as precious to Americans
as to Englishmen.
Unfortunately for England, a
reaction took place after the death
of Cromwell, and the monarchy

Charles II. After the restoration,
the fight recommended, and the
people were compelled to resist a
tyranny which was scarcely felt in
the American Colonies. All the
efforts of the Colonist, to preserve
their liberties were directed, not
against the English people, but
against the English monarch, who
was equally the oppresser of both.
The real differences between
England and America commenced
with the Revolution, and it is with
this that our examination should be-
gin. Goodwin Smith has pointed
out that the relation between the
Imperial country and Colonial de-
tendency was radically false, and
became manifestly false as the Col
ony grew in strength and every
conceivable need of tutelage passed
away. Separation was inevitable:
the pity is that it should have been
violent. Had not the vision of the
craftsmanship of that day been
clouded, as it was, respecting the
relation of colonies to the mother
country, it might conceivably have
been amicable, and the feeling of
bitterness which results from strife
would never have existed.
The right or wrong of this ques-
ton need not here be discussed.
Whatever might have been said
while the conflict was going on and
the partisan spirit was strong,
English historians are today almost
unanimous in acknowledging that
the right lay with the Colonies.
The principles at stake were such
as were dear to both peoples, and
the suppression of the Colonies
would have been the ultimate
destruction of the British Con-
stitution.
What we need to emphasize Just
now is the fact that the Revolution
itself was an incident in the upris-
ing of the English-speaking people
in defense of their liberties. We are
quite right in regarding Indepen-
dence as the glorious achievement
of our fathers; but we are greatly
in error when we suppose thatit was
a victory gained over the English
people. Competent authorities tell us
that the American Revolution was
not struggle of countries but of
parties; that the parties existed in
both countries, and that the battles
took place not only on the fields
of America, but in the British
Parliament also: some of the fercest
engagements being in the latter
arena. In England the struggle
was to recover what had been lost
since the restoration; in America to
retain what had been preserved by
the Puritans and their descendants.
The truth of this is recognized
by every student of history; in fact
every school boy knows that there
were two parties on this side. The
American patriots constituted not

more than one-third of the popula-
ton, the remaining two-thirds being
either Indifferent or actively resist
ing the efforts of the revolutionists.
Nor must we suppose that the
Tories were insignificant. An Ameri-
can historian tells US: They were
generally people of substance; their
stake IN the country was greater
than that of their opponents: their
patriotism, no doubt, was to the
full as fervent." Yet they re-
sisted the Revolution, and when the
day went against them, left their
native country forever.
The same conditions prevailed in
England. That the anti-American
party in Parliament was large. no
one can deny; but many of these
were the Kings Friends a great
body whom he won to himself bv
brides, and a great part of the
others the aristocracy who sought
to strengthen the throne at the ex-
pense of the people. The American
cause, however, was powerfully
upheld; many of the leading states
men defending the Colonists with
great ability. William Pitt reioiced
that the Americans had retained
sufficient English blood to fight for
their rights, Horace Walpole ex-
pressed his belief that the Americans
were better Engishmen than the
English themselves, and the Ameri-
can army was referred to in the
House of Commons as our armv''
The feeling in Parliament was
that of nine-tenths of the people

self was for the rebels. Certain it
is that the war, which was at first
so unpopular, would never have be-
come national had not France, Spain
and Holland entered into the con-
fiict, when the country was compell-
ed to unite in order to preserve it's
own national existence.
Were these facts more generally
known, they would go a great wav
towards removing any feeling of
bitterness that might exist on either
side.
We come now to the War of 1912.
| have already admitted that this
war was provoked by England. Her
attitude towards the country was
no doubt wrong. Yet she was not al
together without justification, neither
was this country altogether without
blame. If there was arrogance
on the part of the one, there
was like lack of patience and the
desire of patriotic war on the part
of the other. Even American writer's
are beginning to acknowledge that
the second war with England had
other causes than the Orders in
Council and the impressment of
Seamen.
