and Stripes. M
Canada. They died for the same
cause, and it Ii the duty Of Arnericans
and Britains everywhere to see that
the freedom of the world, for which
they died, lever again is jeopardized.
ITO you there is no flag like the
Stars and Stripes" he said. ITO you
there is but one destiny for your ma
ton, the greatest republic in the
world. To us, there Is no nag like the
bht one destiny. the destiny of the
greatest independent nation within
the great republican monarchy of
Great Britain. But devotion to one
flag does not mean antagonism to an
other flag. and there Is one flag to
which we an owe allegiance-the flag
Of liberty, Of civilization and Of the
freedom of the world"
He spoke of the fact that unrest has
followed the great war, and that the
nations still are seeking for peace and
harmony and. concord. America and
Great Britain are passinrthrough a
formative period. a period that will
leave its mark upon the history OF

the people of the two nations to SEE
that their young men did not die in
for democracy, for humanity and for
Christianity!
