A COMMON INTEREST
PEACE IN THE PACIFIC BRITAIN AND AMERICA. NEW YORK, February 25. Addressing the Foreign Policy Association at Cincinnati, the British Ambassador (Sir Esme Howard) said that the first object of Britain’s foreign policy was to seek peace, and, whenever necessary, help to enforce it. Predicting that political development of the next century would be in “a great measure transferred from the Atlantic, which is a European and an American ocean, to the Pacific, which is American and’ Asiatic,” he pointed out that British interests in the • Pacific, as represented by Australia, New Zealand, and India, would be vitally affected by any effort to destroy peace in that part of the world. A solid basis for the success of the four-Power treaty in the Pacific, he said, “must ever he a sense of the common interest of the United States and the British Commonwealth in maintaining peace in the Pacific region, without which sense and understanding, indeed, the whole of the Pacific region would be useless and of no avail.”
. As regards China and Russia, be declared that Great Britain., would patiently follow the policy of wait and see.
