ard, the British ambassador, told
members Of the English speaking
Union of the United States today. !.
This must not be construed, he as
serted. as implying possibility Of a
clash between America and England,
which the olher. nations Of the world
must really learn to consider-as we

we Will neither admit nor endure"
Every Europena power, Sir Esme
said. would be, glad to reduce expen-

could be done. he believed, by the
adoption of the Geneva protocol,
which he described as Just an hon

to find method of making war inn
possible SO far as that can be hu-
manly DONE"
Compulsory arbitration. he assert
ed, was the only way to establish q
sense OF security.
The great interest md aim OF the
United States and Great Britain. the
ambassador continued, was to pro-
mote peace and not to establish an
Anglo Saxon domination Of the world
Sir Esme, who spoke at dinner
the union gave in his honor at the
Hotel Plaza, made. it plain that he
was no champion of Nordic supren-
acy. explaining that cleanliness and
a sense Of beauty were the two fac
tors most symbolic of civilized life
Their highest expression, he said,
was DIVIDED between the two race
types. the Anglo-Saxon leading in
cleanliness and the Latins far ST.

"that we are both of US only semi
civilized. and are barbarous still and
have neither of us any~right to ar
