Commercial Strife Deplored
". Whitehouse deplored the econom-
(, policy espoused By some OF the Brit

uerciauy the enemies Of the Allies
a..sr the war.
~ 90 not believe IN q war after this
var" said Mr.. Whitehouse. Il should re,
net a trade agreement hostile toward
or present enemies, but tending az
INC sane time 20 antagoniZe the United
states. because i would tend 20 sever
b, relations Of friendship between two
gsat nation-the English and the
American nations. I agree IN this re-
rect with Lord Bryce, VINO has the
tras International spirit and has always
stood for the best in the liberal spirit
.. England.
q have heard IN America that there
i q feeling o; hostility In EnGiana
toward this country. Let me speak
cute frankly. I DO not think these
criticisms represent more than wholly
Insignificant portion Of the British
public. ! will 20 further and shy that
.or the most part there IS a feeling
Ct the warmest regard and friendll-
less in England for the United States.
we believe America each day oceu-
pes 4 position % more and more in
srenee with regard 20 the destinies OF
ne world. and We, who claim 70 be
Liberals, say American views must be
regarded a; the close OF the war,
Whenever tia. comes"
Waste In Education

huran economic waste In English pub
he education before the war, saying
ailoren we're turned out Of the ele-
rsniary schools az the age Of thirteen
asa fourteen, 20 take up non-educa-
aora. occupations which in few years
lsti them without a trade, and without
position, their Jobs being filed b.
ssT recruits from the public schools.
ae said England would have 20 pass
through a complete Industrial reorgan-
.l@,lon after the war, due 20 the fact
