GREAT BRITAIN AND AMERICA
UNITED IN WORLD POLICY
Freedom OF Seas Issue Disposed OF by Pres
dent-Interests of Two Nations
Now Alike

world problems OF the future English
men feel that the interests OF the
peoples are one. AS
of old. Britain will set L"r face
against any one power dominating tho
Continent. America. it is felt her,
will always take the same position.
Accordingly. it is expected that at
the Peace Conference and after what
ever may be the fate of the League
of Nations, the United states and
England will be associated in main
tanning a balance on the Continent so
that no power shall ever be tempted
to try again what nearly all in turn
have tried in vain.
Forced Into War.
But by maintaining n balance Eng
lishmen do not mean setting up two
conflicting camps. arming against
each other. Great Britain has al
ways tried TO keep out of such COM
bnations: she WIS only forced. most
reluctantly. into the Triple Entente
when in the years before the war it
became evident that France and Rus
sia could not. unaided hold up their
end against Germany and Austria
Now, in the new world. Britain does
not want to be considered part of
the old combination, she is anxious
to resume as before her position as
an Independent world power rather
than member OF Continental al
lance
She counts on the United States to
make ttis possible. If America and
Britain are united against any at
tempt from any source TO dominate
the Continent. it is felt that the old
order must give way and n com
-S%unity of power brought into be
ing that win use force only against
any country that proposes to break
the peace.
With this view it is now believed
here President Wilson heartily agrees
If he does, he can count on British
support to the finish.
With Britain and America resolute-
ly set against the old system, with
their fleets controlling the seas OF
the world beyond hope of competi-
ton. there appears no chance for Ger
many or anybody else to revive the
dreams of world empire of Philip of
Spain and Napoleon and Wilhelm.

would be that Of the government OF

almost equivalent to cash. Suppose
for instance a farmer received in

bushels Of wheat, that would be
spot cash. He would obtain a re-
ceipt or certificate and with this
receipt after it had been scruntin-
