The New York “Herald” says: “ '“iere is something momentous in the thought that the Prime Minister is now on ids'way to the United States. Historians will be able to assess the if nil significance of his visit, when the mission is thoroughly understood. The moment is indeed auspicious and the statesmen of both Powers should strain every nerve to take full advantage thereof.”

The New York “Times” deplores the French tendency to see AngloAmerican friendship as Anglo-Saxon domination over the world, and stresses tlie Anglo-American reapproachment is “ an enormous gain lor security. AN lien the two countries agree among them : selves, they will make an enormous contribution to the general peace.”

The New York “ World ” says: “The visit involves the recognition of a pro found community of interest between United States and Britain, which lies beneath the surface of differences over cruisers, debts, and the like.”
