BRITAIN & U.S.A.
I ALLIANCE NOT ENOUGH ACCORDING TO COLONEL WEDGWOOD. ADVOCACY OF COMPLETE UNION. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.35 p.m.) LONDON, October 15. In an article in the “Daily Express,” Colonel J. C. Wedgwood, M.P., recommends not only a British-United States alliance, but a complete union, with one sovereign Parliament and also a common Foreign Office, Colonial Office, Defence Service and Supreme Court, and free trade with a stable currency. Colonel Wedgwood says: “An alliance is not enough. One union Government can alone give security in the long struggle before us. No State, not even Britain, can hope to recover alone. Left alone, all seem certain to sink into barbarism and anarchy. Many here are prejudiced against the Americans; many more sub-consciously sympathise with the totalitarians. The working class realises, as others must, that as the war goes on all will become poorer and will increasingly need a great, powerful State to feed, save and restore them.”
