BRITISH, U.S. RELATIONS
LONDON, June 5. Field-Marshal Viscount Montgomery said in London to-day that he wished the British and the Americans would drop criticising each other. “We should remember that the contribution of the United States to the task of resisting Soviet aggression has so far been greater than that of the remaining free world put together,” he said. "On the other hand it is quite useless for the Americans to nag at us for supposedly dragging our feet.” “We must hang together, for if we do not, we shall hang separately,” he warned. The future of the civilised world depended on the union of the Englishspeaking peoples—primarily the British and Americans.
Field-Marshal Montgomery said that rearmament was essential, but this alone would not give the world security, which rested also on people’s hopes for a worthwhile life and on the social and political unity of nations.
