NEEDS OF THE NATIONS
BETTER UNDERSTANDING (Rec. 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 5. Understanding between the nations required not one but hundreds of thousands of ambassadors, said Mr Attlee in a speech at the Pilgrims’ dinner. Mr Attlee said that Americans who during the war had been in England, had given the British greater understanding of the vital force of Americanism. He hoped increased travel facilities -would enable the ordinary common people to maintain constant interchange of visits across the Atlantic. Britain’s desire for friendship with America was not. exclusive and was not the result of any hostility toward other nations. Although the war had ended, there were still too many blackout curtains —of ignorance, prejudices and suspicions. “We want .the light of understanding to shine through our windows.”
