THE FUTURE'OF THE WORLD

DESTINY IN ANGLO-SAXON HANDS. Chancellor George H. Bradford, of the Oklahoma University, who was the guest of the New Zealand Club'at luncheon yesterday, delivered an address on the subject. of Anglo-Saxon union. Mr. W. E.-Spencer, who presided, welcomed the guest, and mentioned his connection with the Chautauqua movement, which, ho said, was great in America and would appeal to the club because it was nonsectarian, lion-political, and educational. Chancellor Bradford* said that he deemed it a privilege to be given the opportunity to meet his New Zealand cousins in T the circumstances in which he was there meeting tliem. The world was in the morning of the world's new day, and wlien the Allies dictated the armistice they assumed the destiny of the world. : As sure as the world was a world its future rested on the shoulders of the Anglo-Saxons, and it would be to-morrow what they mado it. And the responsibility which now lay upon the, Anglo must be'recognised by them. It would be the everlasting pride of every Briton that Britain had when war broke out, a Navy big .enough to clear the sea of the Hun. (Applause.)' America knew now the importance of a big Navy, and historians would do . well to write that large. Speaking of social problems, Chancellor Bradford said that the social life of the State was as important as the .■business life, and the educational life and. tho. religious life, were as. vital as the commercial life. Not only was it right to think of a city great financially, but it was right to think of a city great four-square-. Business men would have to learn some hard lessons; they would have to learn that they were conducting their businesses not merely for selfish pin-poses, but for the flood of the country. In the future doctors would be drafted to lecture halls lo I ell people how to keep well, lnwyei'R would lie-sent to teach people liow to keep out of troublo, architects to show thetn. how. to build houses and make them comforlable, and horticulturists to show farmers how best to till the land. (Applause.) To-day (here was ,i vast gulf between Capital and Labour. ll' the labourer was wrong, someone must lead him right, for men could be led right when they could not be driven. . (Applause.)

The annual ."social" of the Welsh' Society of Wellington will be held in Godber's ' tea-rooms to-night at 7.30 o'clook.
