The fact that Mr Chamberlain is in America and has made some important statements to an " interviewer " comes somewhat as a surprise. He told him that England is awaiting from America the terms for establishing a closer relationship. The alliance of the two peoples, aside altogether from kinship, is a result which the people on both sides of the Atlantic look forward to as the preliminary step towards securing the peace of the world. Neither nation thirsts for conquests unless it be by their merchants and manufacturers, and both are sufficiently liberal in this respect not to ask for themselves privileges which they are not willing to accord to all other nations. This community of sentiment and interests is a natural bond and should at an early date bring the much-to-be-desired proposal of terms from America. In the prosecution of the late war the American nation had afforded them an impressive object lesson on the advantages of friendship with Britain.
