The United States and Great Britain The new United States
Ambassador is heartily wel- comed, particularly because his past services to Europe assure us that he will understand our difficulties. Imme- diately after being received by the King, General Dawes dashed up to Scotland to talk face to face with the Prime Minister and was back in London in time to make an important speech at the Pilgrims' dinner of welcome on Tuesday night. So soon as we can get our breath, we feel that so far (less than a week) all is going well for the peace of the world, for Anglo-American understanding and for the prospects of the reduction of armaments. There is no reason for the stolid Briton to be alarmed at the trans- atlantic hustle. Indeed, it is the American who has made the more practical utterances for all his impetuousness. The cautious Scot has limited himself in public to honeyed words in their right place. He is not swept off his feet, and between the two men we find grounds for confidence. The greater test, of course, will come when the two nations, so naturally at one, have to deal with the rest of the world.
