BRITAIN AND UNITED STATES
DANGER OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS. Association—By Telegraph— Copyright. LONDON, May 5. (Received May 5, at 7.10 p.m.) The Ambassador, Mr Alanson B. Houghton, was a guest at the Pilgrim Club banquet, when there was a big gathering of ambassadors and notabilities. , Mr Baldwin, in proposing Mr Houghton a health, emphasised the necessity of preventing the misunderstandings 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 had to bo hunted up and translated, and in thb translation they lost what the Americans called pep. But foolish words uttered on cither side of the Atlantic, not needing translation, were cabled in their naked crudity, and they might rankle. Mr Houghton, replying, said that a full measure of American helpfulness in Europe could only bo given when America was assured that the time of'destructive policies had passed. The time of peaceful building np would come if Europe said “Peace.” America would then help to her utmost.— A. and N.Z. Cable
