NATIONS INTERDEPENDENT
"The interdependence of the two greatest independent Powers on earth is the'most significant fact in this quarter-century," said Dr. J. H. Finley, associate editor of the "New York Times," at a dinner given in his honour in London. "It is an interdependence in maintaining the free social, political, and cultural institutions which have their assured liberties in Parliamentary government, and their foundations in the common law. The common law, as King George said in his Westminster Hall address, is the joint inheritance of the United States with its community of States, and the British community of peoples." The chairman (Lord Derby) said that the word "interdependence" was one they had got to bring home to both countries. "It is the one thing," he added, "that seems to me at present to form the text on which all of us should base our speeches. It is not going to be by one nation setting itself up against others that the peace of the world is going to be secured. It is going to be by interdependence, by one nation realising it cannot stand alone, and that for its prosperity it must link its future with that of other nations."
