ENGLISH SPEAKING NATIONS
ADDRESS BY UNITED STATES
CONSUL-GENERAI
[THK FRESS Special Service.J WELLINGTON. November 15. "There is a saying that when nations go to war the first thing to do is to bang the ambassadors. Well, no United States ambassador or consul will ever be hanged in New Zealand. War between the United States and any Eng-lish-speaking country will always be quite impossible," said Mr Lowell C. Pinkerton, Consul-General for the United States, in an address to the Wellington branch of the English Speaking Union to-night. Mr Pinkerton said it was extraordinary how traditions of language, laws, and interests drew together America and the other English-speak-ing nations of the world. It was inevitable that they must stick together. If they did so it would ensure the future of civilisation.
"If the English-speaking nations show the way to peace then civilisation will be maintained and I think that is what we are doing," he added.
