GEDDES COMES 10
 AMERICA SEEKING
 BETTER RELATIONS
New Ambassador Outlines Objects of His Coming
 Visit

I am no magician, nor do l know where the master magician is to be found, but of one thing l am sure, and that is this: The essential con- dition of the working of the magic Of peace so necessary to save civiliza- tion is that the two great English speaking communities-the British community of nations, the American community of federated states should sail forward in mutual res pect and understanding naval slang, as chummy ships-to the un- charted seas of the future.
 The above is from a statement by Sir Auckland Geddes in the Chicago Herald Examiner.
 To labor to secure. if it be granted to help to secure, that mutual res pect and understanding is a mans work, andI am not insensible of the high privilepe which it is to have been given of so serving this day and generation.
 It does not help either respect or understanding to cry peace where there is no peace or love and trust if love be cold and trust worn thin hope and believe that this is not the case with any considerable sec tion in either of the great English speaking communities.
 But it would be folly-nay, crim- inal madness-not to recognize that
