HOPE OF THE FUTURE

RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION. THE WILL TO PEACE. (By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) NEW YORK, May 6. (Received May 7, 9.40 p.m.) A telegram from Cleveland says: “Only by the united efforts of business men, statesmen, educationalists and journalists throughout the world to create and produce the will to peace, can be achieved recovery and reconstruction of a thorough and abiding kind.” —So Sir Esme Howard, the British Ambassador, told the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, when addressing members at the annual convention. “To the same end," he added, “they must work to remove the desire for revenge on the one hand and fear of revenge on the other; to show that, while accepting ordinary competition in tfrade, which is part of the natural order of things, no nation desires to take an unfair or improper advantage of the other. Too little attention is paid to the influence of international co-operation on trade by business men. The great question of the future is: Who is going to help Russia and how is this going to be done?"
