LEADS WORLD
in NEW ERA
Ambassador Says United
States in Van Of "Great
Spiritual Rebirth"

Roanoke ;s:and, N. C.. Aug. l8-LN
Belief that the United States is
leading the world into a new era
and better way of life that ulti-
mately will hiring u "great spiritual
rebirth." and thereby universal peace.
was expressed today by Sir Esmr
Howard. British Ambassador to this
country. lie was speaker at the
anniversary Of the baptism Of Vir-
ginia Dare, first white child horn In
the American colony.
The material development of this
country was set aside by Sir Esms
~ "a secondary matter"
Hopes For Universal Peace
What specially rejoice in here" !"
he said. "is rather the belief that
this country is leading the. world
into new era, into . bettop Way g
life that, provided we can keep 60
ideal before our eyes as well - the
merely practical, will. and Indeed ul-
timately must, make for . greater
spiritual rebirth and help US to that
universal peace both at home and
abroad for which all men in all
countries are truly longing today"
Americas great contribution to
world progress is its human policy
in industry, in the opinion of Sir
Esme.
Numbers of your leaders in public
life and in industry seem to have
realized before those in other coun.
tries that the health and happiness
Of the men and women who work
in your factories. in your mines. in
your great stores are as necessary to
the well-being and to the successful
prosecution of q business % any
other part Of it. You have learnt
the gospel of high wages, as it has
been called, and you have supplied it
and showed the world that it works.
THE new message that think
America Of today is giving the world
is that the lives of men are more
than mere goods and that peace and
cOntentment are more than mere
wealth. Of this latter there is such
abundance in this country in many
quarters that it has become for many
of its possessers q cheap and Sec
Ondary possession.
Gospel of New Learning
Therefore, look forward to see.
ing America spread the gospel Of
this new learning in political econ
Omy over the world and SO usher in
an era Of well-being, peace and con-
tent such as neither the extreme doc
trines of the Manchest school on
the one side nor those of Karl Marx
on the other could possibly bring
about"
