Recognizing the comparative nov

bassador to the United States, and is
one that commands the thoughtful
attention Of every citizen who feels
himself a part of the government Of
the people. by the people. Speaking
at St. Louis before the American Bar
Association, he declared that Great
Britain and the United States are
"co-trustees for humanity that the
theory and practice Of democracy
shall not suffer distortion or diminu-
ton in spite of avalanches Of assault
launched upon it by its enemies.
THE two nations have to maintain"
he said. the heritage Of freedom
against assault from within and
without and added:
Whatever difficulties might arise
octween our nations, / believe
nothing is more important than this,
that you and We stand together 20

There was no time TO either stop or
