(United Press Association.— Copyright.) (Received 4th March, 11 a.m.)
WASHINGTON, 3rd- March,
The British Ambassador (Sir Esme Howard) addressed the Twentieth Century Club on Thursday on relations between the English-speaking countries.
He deplored the idea that England and the United States standing together can direct the world, and said: "I do mot believe in any such general systematic unity.of action between the English-speaking nations, as it would be likely to create a combination against us by all the rest of the world." He declared that neither Government desired an entangling alliance, and appealed for unity of the heart and understanding. lie said: "We have to spend large sums on armaments. Let us do so without reference to the armaments of others, only considering our own necessities for protection. There can be no unity of the h«art if we eye each other with suspicion evey time the other builds a new ship.''
