HOUGHTON GUEST OF
PILGRIMS IN LONDON
Retiring Ambassador. in Farewell
Address, Predicts America and
Britain Will Live in Accord

London. March q GPt- Retiring
United States Ambassador Alanson
B. Houghton sees two mental hob
COLLINS as endangering Anglo
American relations.
In an address before the Pilgrims
society he said the first Of these was
the appearance from time to time in
America of those who assure us
that Britain is a predatory power
cynically careless Of right and
wrong, Indifferent to the interests of
others, greedy and cunning. and
waiting only a favorable opportunity
to strike Us down.
The other hobgoblin', he added
appears from time TO time in
Britain to assure you that as
America becomes more and more
conscious Of her gigantic strength
she will inevitably become imperial
istic and ruthless and, brutally seek
Ing to exploit Others. will use that
strength merely to play the bully
and become a danger and menage 10
the peoples OF the world.
but these hobgoblins do not
speak the truth. There are nc
such peoples, The real peoples are
wholly different. They are millions
of kindly. decent, hard working
God-fearing men and women who
possess innate common sense, who
are busy about their own affairs
who do not fear one another, who
want to live in peace and who near
to do So
The occasion of the address was a
farewell dinner in his honor.
