Special Dispatch to The Star.


STAUNTON, Va, May 21.-Eor the
first time since the British delegation
landed in America over two weeks
ago. the agricultural interests of Nir-
ginia and England were eontrasted
Wednesday night by Il. Hugh Rob
erts, member of the delegation and
a representative of the National
Farmers Union of Great Britain.
Considera bic has been said by vari-
Gus memb' S of the party from
sta andpoints Of commerce, industry
and finance, but it remained for Mr.
Roberts, While the party was the
guest of the Staunton Chamber Of
Commerce at ii banquet in Stonewall

the subject of agriculture. .
The British delegation reached
StauntOn in the evening, and an hour

Union Is Urged.
Organization of an English.Ameri-
can Union along the lines of the Pan
American Union in Washington,
through which the thought of the
English speaking countries of the
world would he transmitted TO one an
other and through which their trade.
economic and civic problems could be
resolved, was proposed at Lexington
Friday by Maj. Leroy Hodges, man
aging director of the Virginia State
Chamber of Commerce. The idea was
received with great outburst OF ap-
plause lasting several minutes by
British guests and representatives of
the Lexington Chamber of Commerce,
Virginia Military Institute and Wash
ington and Lee University, who were
the hosts of the party.
Maj. Hodges proposed an organiZa-
ton through which the people of Eng,
land and English possessions and of
America could be brought closer to-
gether through social and business
intercourse, a body which without
alliances or treaties would bring
closer together the English-speaking
peoples OF the entire world"
Hopes TO See Result.
at is my hope to see this idea,
originating in Virginia, which is more
closely connected with the people of
England than any other State in the
Union, result in the formation of

States he said.
Gilbert &. NYle, president of the AS
sociation Of British Industries. who is
heading the party, commented briefly
on Mai. Hodges statement to say that
it was ably presented and that he
would like very much to hear the plan
outlined in detail. Several of the |
other members of the party said that !
they were much impressed with the |
ideas presented by the Nirginian, and |
