ANGLO-AMERICAN UNITY.

Mr. F. E. Eastman (chairman of the delegation of Dry Goods Merchants from the United States and Canada), at a valedictory dinner:— "In addition to all the sight-Beeing andlentertaining, we have received what no money of ours could buy. (Cheers.) I believe that the trip will result in very considerable business between the United States of America and this country. But the most delightful outcome of tliß. trip is its result in the creation of new friendships. (Cheers.) To' make possible the history of the' past few weeks speaks of one of the finest pieces of organisation I have ever met with." _Mr. F. W. Cook (of the Reception Committee) on the same occasion:— "The idea behind this visit was too good a thing to let drop. Visiting the many places of historic interest in this country, our American friends have been made to feel that these treasures are a joint inheritance—a spirit which is the motive power to bring things towards brotherhood, friendliness,, and all that is good and great. Those who would make the world go round once more are theyoung men of the Anglo-Saxon race. An association should be formed representing Canada, America, and Great Britain, to promote annual visits between America and England, and boys of the two nations should be encouraged to exchange visits in each other's families, ,so that they might attain early in-lffe to that enriching friendship which, as the result of this visit, has come to their parents Vjonly in maturity. Such a scheme would give them the chance of a better, fuller life, and would aid them to » wider and bolder enterprise."
