LONDON; July 15

“I ’believe,” said Mr "Winston Churchill, speaking at a .-Pilgrims’ dinner, “ that there is one grand valiant conviction shared on both sides

. of the Atlantic,‘that together there is I no problem w© cannot solve. Of coiy-se,'. in this wo' kaday world, there must al- - be disputes apd differences; there ' must be conflicting commercial interests, tiresome' disputes about money matters, and so forth. But we have the invincible l assurance that none of these will disturb the onward march ,of Anglo-American frienclshio.” • . ' ' “On© by one the obstacles to our j closer co-operation have been removed,” be continued). “ The Irish question so Jong vexatious may continue, but it can never again be the i cans© of friction between our peoples: In the Pacific Ocean we have the same outlook ) and very largely the same Interests. We both seek the assuagement. of European feuds-. The immerse growth. of the American Navy excites no apprehension in British minds.”

Mr Churchill ref rred to the present troubles of the United iStates and tins

country, and concluded: “Be sure we shall both succeed. Then, victorious in our separate spheres, we may. IP'P hands to give encouragement and example to others less strong or less canable, and animated with the indomitable perserveranoe of Washington and the courage of our ancient race we may together revive the fortunes of mankind.”
