AMERICAN INTERPRETATION
Rec. 10.20 a.m. BOSTON, Jan. 27. "The significance of Lord Halifax's Toronto speech can hardly be exaggerated. Embodying nearly all the explosive material of Field-Marshal Smuts's speech on November 25, and much of Smuts's vision, it has already caught the imagination of British leaders," says the "Christian Science Monitor" in an editorial. "The significance of Lord Halifax's address is that a responsible spokes^man for the British Government, speaking in a Dominion, should have outlined a prospect so similar to that which made Field-Marshal Smuts's time-bomb tick. It is almost too easy to read into the speeches .of both Field-Marshal Smuts and Lord. Halifax an uneasiness about Britain's future. It is impossible not to discern therein one of those amazing bursts of British political vitality and imagination that have come so often in the course of a long history just in time to confound those who had written down British influence in declining numbers." ?
