GOOD FEELING DESIRED. BUT NOT AN ALLIANCE. Received April 23, 12.35 p.m. LONDON, April 22. Speaking at the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, the American Ambassador, Mr Houghton, commented on the necessity for obtaining AngloAmerican good feeling though avoiding an Anglo-American alliance. Such good feeling already existed,' but there'.was a great need for a little more patience, confidence and individual effort to understand the problems. The idea of an alliance meant nothing but an armed exclusive group, turning the rest of the world against them. Lord Derby, replying, wished that certain prominent Americans would visit England. He extended a personal invitation to Senator Borah, “who always thinks the English ere ogres,” to come and be shown Lancashire in which lie would see millions .depending on industry and desiring peace.—A. and N.Z. cable.
