BRITAIN "AND AMERICA

(From Our Own Correspondent.) WAN 1-UUNCISCO, 2;ird March. llio Rowing intensity of the cumIMtigii by Great Britain, Australia, and .New Zealand nguinst American motion picture iilms throws into bold relief the appeal mado by Sir Esmo Howard, British Ambassador at Washington, for ii fraternal attitude of mind between British and American peoples.' Both nations should, ho says, avoid two tilings—entangling alliances and the idea of. "bossing the world." "The world is already somewhat suspicious of. Anglo-Saxondoin,'' ho Haul, in an address to tho Twentieth Century Clul). "Any attempt to boss it will make international enemies. I should prefer a sense of confidence in each other's determination to prevent anything rousing us to tho pitch of fratricidal conflict. Do not look askance at each other's armaments. There can bo no unity of heart or purpose while wo bconmo suspicious every tinio oiio of us builds a new ship. "Britain is absolutely dependent on her shilling for tho brend she eats, and can never ho aloof from continental developments. War between us should bo regarded as a duel between brothers —a thing unholy and impious. Friends and brothers do not need 1o sign treaties. When their paths cross they should consult each other and try to understand each other—submit the question to mi arbiter/ rather "than to that most foolish, uncivilised, ruinous judge, Mars, god of. war."
