THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING PEOPLE
THEIR GREAT OPPORTUNITY. LONDON, June 27. Lord Bryce at the inaugural lecture of the Watson Chair of American History at the Mansion House, said that the English-speaking people were growing most rapidly in wealth and population, and they now conducted or controlled most of the wealth of the world. Their influence was greater than that of any stock. If that influence was directed to the same ends, it would make a bigger difference to the world’s progress, than any other influence, in the development of intellectual, and moral sympathy, rather than in formal alliances, which were often unstable, and sometimes excited jealousy and suspicion in other nations. Britain and America might find a kind of co-operation which would best promote the welfare of the world. It Ifould be to the glory of the Englishspeaking peoples if they joined in using their influence to guide the feet of all mankind into the way of peace.
