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.
