ANGLO-AMERICAN TIES

There was something in the Englishsoeaking peoples which they valued more than their lives, said the American Ambassador to Great Britain, Mr R W Bingham, speaking at a luncheon in London. They valued their long and noble heritage, the fact that they existed in ordered freedom. Beyond price and beyond valuation was the fact that they enjoyed in the United States and the British Commonwealth justice and liberty, and freedom under the law These were the things which bound the people of both countries. It was a common ideology, a common ideal a common purpose. Therein all of them could be propagandists, a constant reminder of the undying, indestructible interests they had in common Recently the President of the United States had said that the mutual interest shared by Great Britain and Die United States in world peace was a common inspiration between the two nations. This simple statement of fact could not be too often repeated—that the United States and Great Britain had one great common concern, the preservation of peace all over the world.
