HANDS ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.

\ THE ATTITUDE OF ANGLO-SAXONDOM.

A STRONG OPINION ON COMMUNISM.

(Dj- Cable.—Tress Association.—Copyright.) (Received 1 p.m.) LONDON, May 10. The newspaper, the Washington "Post/" in a leading article under the caption, "We are with you, England," denounces Communists in England and America. The Washington "Post" declares that if the British strike develops into a war of violence the United States must go to her assistance. It adds that at all costs the strike must be broken, It is an assault upon the Throne, the Government and the people of Great Britain. If there is a Communist dictatorship in England nothing but a miracle can prevent collision between armed forces. The Communists of the world are eagerly attempting to bring about civil war in England. Doubtless messages for aid are going from the United States to the British Reds. If the strike develops into a war of violence there can be no neutrality in such a war. The Government of the United States should range itself instantly alongside the British Government, lending it every assistance. Communists in the United States should be placed under guard or in gaol, and no communication whatever between them and the British revolutionists should be permitted. Whatever England needs should be furnished quickly. An attack on the popular Government of England is an attack on the popular Government of the United States. Americans would be dull and deluded if they failed to perceive that the triumph of Communism in England would involve the United States in war.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
