BRITAIN AND AMERICA. GREAT OPPORTUNITIES. Press Association—Uy Telegraph--Copyright. LONDON, June 27. Lord Bryce, in bis lecture at tho inauguration of the 'Watson Chair of American History at the Mansion House, said that the English-speaking people were growing most rapidly in wealth and population. They now conducted or controlled most of the commerce of tho world. Their influence w&s greater than that of any stock. If that influence were directed to the same ends it would make a bigger difference to the world’s progress than any other influence in tho development of intellectual and moral sympathy. Rathci than informal alliances, which often were unstable and. sometimes excited _ jealousy and suspicion in other nations, Britain and America might find a kind of co-operation which would best promote the welfare of the world. It would be to the glory of the English-speaking peoples if they joined in using their influence to guide the feet of all mankind into the way of peace.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
