BRITAIN AND UNITED STATES
PREVENTION OF MISUNDER STANDING
(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright,) (Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, May 5.
Ambassador Houghton was the guest of the Pilgrim Club banquet, when there was a big gathering of ambassadors and notabilities. Mr Baldwin, in proposing Ambassador Houghton’s health, emphasised the necessity of proventing a misunderstanding between Britain and America. The danger was greater because they had a common tongue. With foreign countries’ asides uttered by individuals or the press and veiled in the obscurity of an unknown language have to be hunted up and translated, and in the translation lose what Americans call “pop.” But foolish words uttered on either side of the Atlantic not needing translation are cabled in their naked crudity and may rankle.
Ambassador Houghton, replying, said that the full measure of American helpfulness to Europe could only be given when America was assured that tho time of destructive policies was past. The time of peaceful building up‘would come if Europe said peace. America would then help to her utmost.
