TWO NATIONS SHOULD
NOT FAIL EACH OTHER
Judge Parker Says Britain and Ameri.
ca Sould Stand Together for
World Peace

Ottawa, Ont. Sept 6-Former
Judge Alton B. Parker, once Demo
cratic candidate TO. the presidency
urged the Canadian Bar Association to-
day to again take up with members
of the American bar the effort toward
closer relations between Great Brit.
ain and the United States.
He recalled that just before the
beginning OF the world war Canadians
and Amer cans held meeting on
Mackinaw Island to plan for the cele-
bration of the Tooth anniversary Of
the Treaty of Ghent and the century
OF peace between Great Britain and
America which followed This plan
was abandoned because of the war;
but circumstances which had happened
since he said. had demonstrated to
men not blinded by prejudice that il
was then. is now and ever will be
wise for Great Britain and the United
States to stand together for the peace
of the who world If they can inhu-
ence II and. If they cannot, then for
their joint protection
Mr.. Parker said that the fact had
been demonstrated that men OF good
will can live in peace although sep
arated by the longest international
boundary line In the world with
"3,S40 miles of opportunity for trouble
but unguarded by gunboat Tor sold
Ter of policeman
The speaker reviewed the common
effort OF Great Britain and the United
States in the war and declared that,
1T Is our duty now to bind these
two great nations together so firmly
by cords of ELECTION and esteem that
never again will 1t happen that either
naton will fail the other when that

the peace.

The different committees from

day should be one IN which the peo-

efforts in this direction were eXcep-
