(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPIMQHT.)
(AUSTRALIAN • NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, 20th June.
Mr. W. H. Taft, speaking at a dinner given by the Pilgrims' Club, said: "Since, the war we have all been going in for a period of convalescence, and bickerings should be regarded as symptoms of recovery, • America's,refusal to come into the League of Nations was due .to the difficulty of overcoming the popular conviction, confirmed by the experience of a century and a-quarter, of the ■wisdom of America's keeping out of European entanglements. But Americans are now acquiring a consciousness of their share of the responsibility for what the world did." Mr. Taft concluded by begging Britain not to bo misled by the temporary ebullitions of American factions, but to count on the fundamental -public opinion in the United States, which regarded the , maintenance of friendship with Britain as the most necessary security for the peace of the world.
