The edge of the greatest ocean laves
the shores of China and It is the
peace of that ocean which means hel
future prosperity. This same ocean
thousands of miles beyond, breaks on
the coast of the United States, and
the United States must also guard the

The two nations would join hands to

Commerce in news is vital. More

Financially united, their bond in
