"The limited English Nations

Carton Bates SLrdyer III Leslie 5.
The suggestion that the speediest way
to secure the abolition of war is through
a union of the Anglo-Saxon world was
made by President Darwin P. Kingsley
Of the New York Life Insurance COM
pany, at the commencement exercises OF
the University of Vermont Before the
world can have peace, he argued, we
must end the "savagery of internation-
atty" or in other words, the nations
must become truly democratic Ulti-
mately this may be brought about
through the federation of the democratic
world. but as first step, Mr.. Kingsley
proposed the reunion of the Anglo-Saxon
world. sThis reunion must be accom-
plished,' said he, mot to overawe any
other people, not to pile up force with
which to meet force, not to eliminate
small nationalities, or make great ones
afraid but primarily to make the Anglo
Saxon world really democratic-demo-
cratic interstate as well as lntrastate
democratic as our 48 states are internally
democratic" Such a federation, ne pre-
dicted, would sooner or later come to
include France, Holland. switzerland,
probably the Scandinavian countries and
Spain and possibly some of the South
American republics. The uniqueness OF
the suggestion is the unification OF the
Anglo Saxon world. which has suffered
but one great division in it's empire since
the days of King Alfred. GeOgra shlcally
such union would mean more TERRITORY
