WORLD’S PEACE

LORD BRYCE’S COMMENTS

(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association)

LONDON, June 27.

Lord Bryce, in an inaugural lecture, of the Watson Chair of American History at the Mansjon House, said that the English speaking peoples were growing most rapidly in wealth and population. They now conducted or controlled most of the commerce of the world, and their influence was greater than that of any other 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. He said that in the development of an intellectual and moral sympathy, rather than in formal 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. FRANCE AND, SPAIN.
